| 2. Sine Qua Non
«One thought of loss of what is clear
a unique species, an endless source
without which there is nothing... without which it could not be...»
3. Of Feathers and Flames
Fire!
Mine is this yesterday of the tails of cobras,
that Ennead, beings of the West
Whom Horus has  |

Одна из главных достопримечательностей Брюсселя, известная во всем мире – Атомиум, модель кристаллической решетки железа, увеличенная в 165 миллиардов раз. Какие еще достопримечательности в бельгийской столице вы можете назвать? Так и Enthroned – пожалуй единственная известная блэк-метал группа из Бельгии.
Скоро должен выйти их очередной альбом, так что давайте взглянем на последнюю на сегодняшний день работу.
Строго говоря, «Sovereigns» - типичный альбом Enthroned XXI века, после того, как в группе не осталось ни одного участника оригинального состава (вокалист Lord Sabathan свалил в 2006 году, видимо предпочтя карьеру порноактера :-). Альбом очень ровный в своей мрачной атмосфере – после Интро, вызывающего образы ритуалов вуду, начинаются яростные треки, идушие один за одним. Можно отметить качевую «Lamp of Invisible Lights», почему-то ассоциирующуюся у меня с игрой «Penumbra», «Of Shrines and Sovereigns» с ураганными барабанами и яростным вокалом, да что там говорить, весь альбом слушается на одном дыхании.
Enthroned стараются особо не экспериментировать, стараются избегать чрезмерной усложненности своей музыки, придерживаясь достаточно ортодоксального блэка. Но на самом деле, ничего плохого в этом нет – оставаясь в рамках жанра, на этом альбоме бельгийцы создали целую палитру настроений – от спокойного медитативного до невероятно энергичного. Одна из лучших работ Enthroned и лучший вариант для ожидания нового альбома! |

and who witnesses against Seth
I emerged from the Primeval Waters of Nu
Came into being by My Own
Heru-ra-ha
By My Cry the world got filled
Heru-ra-ha
By all which I had not known
Heru-ra-ha
my house is the Pride
that comes before the fall
I am the Light, the Shining One
And the pyre that devours all
Enter my child with woe, with mirth
I am the Alpha through Omega
Phenex, Binnu Bird
Heru-ra-ha!
Mine is the cycle dividing today from tomorrow,
Ascension and descent, wisdom revealed
for everything great is built upon sorrow
in all that is sweet goes terror concealed.
Thus Spoke Phenex
4. Lamp of Invisible Lights
O you heathens which dwell in the First Aeyre,
the mighty in the parts of the Earth
and execute my judgement!
Behold the face of your God,
whose eyes are the darkness:
O arise, confound her understanding with darkness
O arise, it repented me; I remade Man, cast down such as fall!
The reasonable Creatures (of the Earth) let them vex,
weed out one another and the dwelling places
Let them forget their names:
the work of man, let them be defaced!
Lape zodir IOIAD!
Odo cicale Qaa
od Ozodazodame pelapeli IADANAMADA!
Furnishing you with a power
understand to dispose all things
according to the "providence"
of Him that sitteth on the Holy Throne
and rose up in the beginning saying:
Gi-cahisaje auauago coremepe peda,
dasonuf vi-vau-di-vau?
Odo cicale Qaa,
od Ozodazodame pelapeli IADANAMADA!
O arise, confound her understanding with darkness
O arise, it repented me; I remade Man, cast down such as fall!
Thus spoke Buer
5. Of Shrines and Sovereigns
...preserve me, O Mankind!
For in thee do I put my works
O my left hand, thou hast said unto me
"Thou art my Lord"
my labour extended not to thee
but to the forms that dwells beyond your reach!
Their sorrows shall be multiplied
that hasten after another "god"
Zagon... Zagam...Taurus Rege Cathedram!
"O Lord", as you named me
I am the portion of thy inheritance
I maintain your lot
Prey to me... in this very place
here, anywhere...
I shall bless you with menstrual blood
and by the wretched carcass of Joshua
I shall never be moved.
Zagon... Zagam...Taurus Rege Cathedram!
Thus spoke Zagan
6. The Edge of Agony
Triumph is the first syllabus
I despise your kind
weak, frightened
in the face of reality
do you feel my blade inside your pluck?
You proved your worth, earn my awe
Now shall you call upon the second Mercurial Count,
I shall be obliged, I shall be obliged,
Samaël be my witness...
Do not foul yourself with joy
as victory is not eternal.
The man staring back in the mirrors of old
will always reflect your triumph of failures.
Keep it high and my guidance will be yours
let it go and my blade will kiss your flesh.
You proved your worth, earn my awe
Now shall you call upon the second Mercurial Count,
I shall be obliged, I shall be obliged,
Samaël be my witness...
but thou art toddler and my blood
and until we meet again I'll love and slaughter
your siblings with all my heart and rusted...
...steel!
Thus spoke Botis
7. Divine Coagulation
Forsooth, surely and without doubt
what is below is similar to what is above
and what is above is mirrored with the below
to produce the miracle of one thing
As all things are born from the unique
the meditation of the single
as derivation are born from the unique
when we become "Whole"
Split the Earth from the flames
what is precious from what is rough
and rise what is earthly to the skies
Conquering therefore the light of the white
and feed the light of the shades
Sole reverser of mentalities
...the two faces of the divine
Sole reverser of mentalities
...the two faces of the end
Sole reverser of mentalities
...the two faces of the start
Sole reverser of mentalities
...those two faces of mine
It is the strength amongst strengths
as it is a victorious one
the elusive which fornicates all that is solid
and extraneous to my realm,
a divine coagulation;
the two faces of the divine
Thus spoke Haagenti
8. Baal al-Maut
As the sounds grow distant
I welcome you onto me.
Do not suppress your desires
and let them lead you to me
I'll adorn thy garment of flesh
and you'll see with my immortal sight
Do not fear the rush of thoughts
Taste my words as credulous flavours.
Smell the taste of decay
and let your reflexion materialize
in front of our two eyes... in front of our two eyes!
Thou shall name me Azraa-eel...
I shed tears of light and gather souls in my midst.
Don't hesitate to walk and reach out
for my memories with me, to understand what I feel.
You & I will speak, fantasize
I will show you how to
smelt decay into a Light of Darkness
we shall be a wave that will consume it all,
a wave that will wash away all scourges and innocence.
And like me thou shall be named... Azraël.
Thus spoke Azraël
9. Nerxiarxin Mahathallah
Hear your child!
Born of a voice untimely
the echo of men's ordure
dropped in a wood consciously.
Nurturers!
What do you want from me??
I shall bring thee to honour
when thou dost embrace me.
"Bringest me my due" as thou sayest
I will not bring it to thee!
Ask me not, what thou canst not learn from me.
I am she who reflects unto thee!
I am Deception
I deceive and weave
Thoth-out-Thoth
I whet and excite heresies
Thoth-out-Thoth
"Bringest me my due" as thou sayest
I will not bring it to thee!
Ask me not, for thou canst not learn from me.
I am she who reflects unto thee!
Slithering...
towards a lonely logic truth
I cause you unworthy to scatter and fall
I shall bring you a well deserve misery!
Yk Nerxiarxin Mahathallah!
Thus spoke Machaloth
