«Grey Misery» - единственный полноценный альбом финской группы начала девяностых. Переиздан в 2004 году, включил в себя некоторое количество бонусов (ранние записи). Disgrace (“позор”, “опала” в прямом переводе) играют шумный, звенящий, бренчащий и грохочущий всеми железными запчастями забойно-весёлый дэт. Грязная, скребущая по нервам, жесткая гитара, медленные запилы и скоростная гонка, сухо дрожащий бас, отчетливо заметный только в некоторых моменты; ломаная, угловатая поступь ударных – вот устрашающие инструменты, разложенные на местном операционном столе. Группа ухитряется проявлять себя с двух сторон: прямолинейная долбежка регулярно сменяется весьма техничными моментами, частое переключение темпа и садистская бор-машина тягучих сольных партий вряд ли дадут заскучать. Львиная доля работы на поприще оригинального и интересного исполнения лежит на плечах ударника. Медленные куски не предоставляют возможности проявить себя, но стоит только раскочегариться всей ритм-секции, как сразу появляется кач, напор, хрустящие вкрапления бластбитов, непрерывный «ржавый» звон тарелок (почти постоянный и, что даже странно, неимоверно приятный), хаотичные всплески. Вокал – стандартный гроулинг, с примесью ядовитого шипения. Впрочем, ничего большего от него не требуется. Эмоциональное, убедительное исполнение, внятный материал, хороший яркий звук, прекрасная возможность для headbanding’a – что еще нужно для счастья? Добавленные при переиздании треки по сравнению с основным содержимым выглядят довольно бледно, но при желании их можно спокойно пропустить. 8/10. |

In the grey bliss
Thy eternal abyss, a warm lap of the mother
Absorbs my body inside, but my soul's left
Darkness surrounds me (solitary)
From the clay, grey misery...
DARK PARADISE
I'm staring, lifelessness to nothing
I'm gazing at the point in my nerves
From the soil arises
Unholy kingdom for hypocrites
In the dark lowlands
There's my dark paradise
Incubus continues
My black blood is filled by air
2. Unity's Interlude Dyes Blind Tomorrow
Man watches the world with closed eyes
He aspires after the colours of completeness
Reaching his hand to the gasping tomorrow
And he finds: "All is not the same..."
Man wrapped himself in a black gown
Rambling in the verdant valleys of eternity
Vagrant begs for a coin for his depression
Man laughs and goes away
UNITY'S INTERLUDE DYES BLIND TOMORROW
He picks up fragments from the ground
And sells 'em to some ignorant shapes
From tears he builds up brooks
Where lunacy's bark boats sail
He dispels sorrow with recorder
Tones of griefs soar away
Pain and pleasure have involved into one
But the eye of time has faded
Apathy and disgust merged
And seas are divided
Anticipation is over at last
And sunset glow's brilliancy of colours celebrates it
Unity has involved in its cloak
Everybody has disappeared in vanity
Still there's footprints in the snow
And they lead us up to the north...
3. Abstruse Myth
An absolution into futility
For the sake of of stony eyes
We betrayed ourselves
In crystal brightness
The blind... SACRIFICED
The silhouette of faith
The wall of sourness
A vortex in a blazing pitch
A drowning draw
Abysmal... invisible swamp
Abstruse myth
Do you see those trees?
Don't you feel it's true?
Mass of people inside my body
Nerves under my skin
Together we're watching
In the triangular circle
Thrall hangs from his neck
Hempen nose abrades
A tear absorbs the soil
The tear which fell from your cheek
And we just laugh
The lunatic laughter of life
Echoing through lands
Echoing through forests
Flowing so slowly
Black and abysmal
The altar of the earth
The stream of HADES
An amorphous culture
An absurd desert without a coast
Ten darkish mirages
The guardians of MORPHEUS
The blind... SACRIFICED
ABSTRUSE...
Lost entrances
Are dimly seen in the mist
Solitude monuments
Please hear my supplication
Subsidence under the waves
River, raise me up
Before the focus of the sea
... CATCH ME!
4. Obscurity In The Azure
Buried alive
Man amidst the pandemonium
In a trench
Of mud and blood... anticipation
A helmet full of brain
It's forbidden to use 'em
Ear drums spoiled
By pressure
Eyes are gazing at eternity
Among the corpses and smoke
There's no immortality
The order is life
Futility kills
It dominates and affects
One and a thousand
Are a hundred
Anticipation and combat
Waste of all
Those hypocrites
They won't awake
"Hallowed be thy name!"
The ditches of vanity are beyond
The flag is the last guilt
The one...
A gauze for the journey
Through the universe
You're flying
To the land of marble temples
Stories of a monster
And I've waited for my end
Fairy tales of pouring lands
The stench of air petrified
Golden temple
Porcelain stairs
Inheretix, my mistress
I adore your calm mask
Pictures of tomorrow
Obscurity in the azure
Your horizon
Reflects your infernal continence
An aberrant mind above us, a sanctuary
Missing wanderers
Filled by vacuum
The holy centre of universe...
5. The Chasm
6. And Below Lies Infinity
Take a view inside the stranger's eye
A vacuum filled soul, mind petrified
Black fields of mortality
Burned again
Skies turned into deep red
Earth's fist melts down
APPREHENSION
Ominous serpent of time
Bleak entanglement thoughts
NO ENTRANCE
Sickness grows besides boredom
The symptoms of schizophrenia
Sneer echoing into the void
An agonised pressure
AND BELOW LIES ETERNITY
Your soul crucified
You're more sour than death
A widow raped by hatred
A spider in the ruins of consciousness
FOR YOU PEOPLE ARE FLIES...
7. Waves Of Hypocrisy Seas
Darkness growls...
The last day of deranged man
No aim or future
For living on this globe
Tomorrow rises...
Weakened pilgrim gives up
Old man sits down on the glass rock
On the coast of purple sea
Last wizard, the warlord of lives
Has lost his empire of agony
In vain, he faces the truth
And dives into the heart of sea
Under the waves of hypocrisy seas
He finds his favour world
Flashing trees and unknown bees
Empty closets are smiling
8. Debris
9. Immortality's Open Lake
In arid lands
The roots of men are mouldering
In the depth of mud
Surrounded by rotting bulrushes
A black unforeseen lake
It rinses me, sand calls me towards ruins
Immortality's open lake
The kingdom of gulls
Dead fish
As a food of mind
Red eyes gaze
Bleakly at my neck... immortality?
And the rain washes rainbow down
I scrull to it, examinate a net
It twind from your hair
Curls dyed by bottom mud
Only the dead hear
The sigh of the sentenced
Who are inside the rounded rocks
In a mender stream
A day follows another
An engulfing red time
The red has spoiled my hands
And a sign is on my forehead
Maybe lunacy was my force
Buy you knew it
A dismal everyday, endless agony...
Please kill me!
Spin my remains
Burn them inside the circle
Take me away, apprehension
And bury me with cellophane flowers...
10. Transcendental Dimension
