Много ли вы знаете групп, в которых помимо быстрой музыки есть быстро поющий вокалист? И особенно если это стиль, который раньше называли NWOBHM? Iron Maiden? Да, поначалу они были весьма быстры, но на последних 7 альбомах быстрого пения я не заметил, и это именно то, из-за чего эта столь уважаемая ранее группа лично для меня вышла из состава “the best”. Ну что же, встречайте Wolf! Самые первые аналогии это именно Iron Maiden и их любимый мною альбом “Powerslave”! Очень быстрые гитары с очень разнообразными гитарными проигрышами, вокалист, не жалеющий свои голосовые связки - такое впечатление, что я перенесся назад на 20лет :) Вот какими должны были быть их идейные вдохновители! Причем до уровня плагиата группа не доходит, просто взято все самое лучшее в плане идеи и в целом звучания, переработано и даже приумножено. Вокалист обладает очень специфичным разнообразным и сильным голосом, аналогий которому нету вообще. Микширование хорошее, отчетливо слышно все инструменты и вокал, но до уровня эталонных записей им чего-то не хватает, наверное, даже по качеству записи хотели приблизиться к эталонам 80-х.
Да, и еще: как когда-то писали в буклете Rage, диск записан без fuc*ng keyboards! |

Through my twisted stare
I hear them voices in my mind
Suggesting evil doings all the time
Release the wolves the moon is full
I feel them bugs crawling inside my skull I'm in reversed
Utopia
Exploring all the dark abandoned sides
Because I am so insane
Utterly insane, yeah
Here in space minds ablaze
Burning frenzy, yeah
You can't see inside of me
Through my twisted stare
Every time I see the light
Clouds begin to gather
All my hopes before my eyes Vanish into smoke
You don't know how much I yearn
To get out from this prison I can hear what's left of me
Calling from inside
Here in space minds ablaze
Burning frenzy, yeah
You can't see inside of me
Through my twisted stare
This is me - insanity
Everything I am
2. Demon Bell
Strolling in solitude the city is asleep
You watch your breath and hear the snow beneath your feet
Then you hear footsteps that cannot be your own
You are afraid but feel the urge to turn around
Living in a dream Well out in space
Floating in a stream Without a trace
You're not perpetual
Forever steel
Trapped inside a deadly wheel
The room is quiet when you wake up in the dark
There's only one sound that's the pounding of your heart
Light a candle and see what's lurking in the night
A breath of death blows out the candle and your life
Living in a dream Well out in space
Floating in a stream
Without a trace
You're not perpetual
Forever steel Trapped inside a deadly wheel
The Reaper comes without warning on his way
His scythe is sharpened and it has your name engraved
You'll never know when there's no way to plan ahead
You'll never know until the moment when you're dead
Living in a dream Well out in space
Floating in a stream Without a trace
You're not perpetual
Forever steel
Trapped inside a deadly wheel
3. I Am The Devil
I wolf the peace inside of you
The nasty way the demons do I exhale my wickedness in you
So when you open up your eyes I'm there to flatter with demise
There's nothing you can do
I am the children of the night
The storm in you that kills the light
Here I come
Charging out through your skull
My reflection in your eyes
You hear me laugh when you die
Evil deeds You satisfy my vicious needs
A wave of terror in your mind
Eats you alive
They laugh at you I swear it's true With blade in hand what will you do?
Kill yourself a fool
Suddenly they're right behind I've got revenge on your mind
You know what to do
Come try and catch me if you can I am the
Devil in a man
Here I come
Charging out through your skull
My reflection in your eyes
You hear me laugh when you die
Evil deeds You satisfy my vicious needs
A wave of terror in your mind
Eats you alive
I am the evening and the dawn
The father to the morning star I teach the art of war
Sweet hate is pumping through your veins
The flame of fury burns inside
Exciter
I am the children of the night
The storm in you that kills the light
Here I come
Charging out through your skull
My reflection in your eyes
You hear me laugh when you die
Evil deeds
You satisfy my vicious needs
A wave of terror in your mind
Eats you alive
4. Venom
Dark as a shadow
Sharp as a knife
An arctic breeze as cold as ice
Deep as an abyss
Sweet as a kiss
A burning hellfire on the rise
You say you don't know my kind
Although I dwell in your mind
Venomous viper
Sinister deeds
An ancient force from a nether world
You love its curse you cannot resist the urge
Addicted blood yields to the need
You say you don't know my kind
Although I dwell in your mind
You have no clue what I am
But I will get you in the end
Dark as a shadow
Sharp as a knife
An arctic breeze as cold as ice
Deep as an abyss Sweet as a kiss
A burning hellfire on the rise
You say you don't know my kind
Although I dwell in your mind
You have no clue what I am
But I will get you...
I am the dawning of a thousand million years
I am the falling of a thousand million tears
Though you are not aware I'm present all the time
I dwell inside your mind transcendent dark sublime
5. A World Bewitched
Dark ages and a shadow of death
Swiped across the land
A man of his time and a man of the law
Spread fear among the masses
On and on, from place to place
His mission carried on
In medieval madness
Destroy all witchcraft
Pain - I need your pain
The mark of your blood will tell me
Confess the truth Pain - taste my pain
No use to resist, make it easy
Confess my truth
No one is innocent no one is pure
Those words we do not know
Let God's will be done, there's no time to waste
Get on with the test make haste
We got methods to make you talk
Prepare the burning stake
The heat of the fire reveals the liar
Pain - I need your pain
The mark of your blood will tell me
Confess the truth Pain - taste my pain
No use to resist, make it easy
Confess my truth
Come fire, come blood Wash the sin away
Purified in purgatory
My holy law justifies my greed
Men's taste for blood
Justifies my deeds
The work is done no one has won
But an arbitrary law
With a peculiar pride and a guinea smile
Collect your silver and go
Travel on with your holy fire
But bear these words in mind
The truth meets the liar
You'll reap what you saw
Pain - I need your pain
The mark of your blood will tell me
Confess the truth
Pain - taste my pain
No use to resist, make it easy
Confess my truth
Black witches burn
You all will burn
Now witches burn In pain
6. The Curse
I can see the dead
All the time I feel their chilling presence
Constantly afraid
Why was I born cursed with this penance?
All the time
Day and night In my head
Haunting me I can see The living dead
I can't turn my face away
The spirits forcing me to stay
I can see their eyes
Desperately their pale hands reaching for me
Drugs can't set it right
There is not a thing the doctors can do for me
All the time
Day and night
In my head
Haunting me I can see
The living dead
I can't turn my face away
The spirits forcing me to stay
People that I meet
It's hard to tell weather they are for real
Secrets that I keep I cannot tell a soul of what I've seen
All the time
Day and night
In my head
Haunting me I can see
The living dead
I can't turn my face away
The spirits forcing me to stay
If they do not stop to mess with my mind
I will cross the line to the other side
7. Unholy Night
The mist was thick and cold in the last night of this year
The sun had all burned out and the church was locked and sealed
A dark figure staggered at the graves
The moon hid behind the clouds & darkness slowly spread
Yeah, an unholy night
The staggering figure moved like a shadow the church bell started to chime
In the graves the dead began to writhe and twist their bones
The wind whispered in the trees along with their wining moans
The town, so old and tired, was sleeping the night away
Safely tucked in bed not knowing of any threat
But peaceful dreams faded to black and the warming fires died
Grown men shivered in fear and sweat and children woke and up and cried
Little did the town know of reprisal from the tomb
The church bell was ringing the raven was singing a song about their doom
Maybe they shouldn't have left him burned and buried alive
Maybe they shouldn't have cursed his name and been so sure that he died
Evil avenger with fire in his hands
The nasty smell of paraffin oil and fear from the damned
Soon the curse was back on them and set them all ablaze
Devouring flames turned groans into ashes
The smell of death blended with the haze
8. Genocide
The warlords of mayhem
Rises out of cursed soil
Deceived ignorant men
Become the pawns of flesh and blood
Violate Dominate
Slaughter and exterminate
Fireflies In the night
Carry out the genocide
The rotten seed of hate
Grows in those who never learn
While blood seals their fate
Beyond the point of no return
Violate Dominate Slaughter and exterminate
Fireflies In the night
Carry out the genocide
The screams from afar
Will die in a silent sigh
For those who are doomed
Await their fate in the dead of night
Violate
Dominate
Slaughter and exterminate
Fireflies
In the night
Carry out the genocide
Rain of napalm
The earth bleed and heaven burns
Reign of terror
We're all going to die
This is total genocide
9. A Dangerous Meeting
Shermann, King Diamond
Tonight the circle is meeting again
Who will be the first to fall in trance
In here nobody is sensing the rain
Tonight a spirit will glance
So as they're approaching ghostly hour
Seven people here are joining hands
They think they know the spirit to appear
Contact, the table starts to dance
Time is standing still
It's a dangerous meeting
They're gonna get themselves killed
[Solo: Nick]
Tonight the circle is broken forever
Seven people dead within a trance
In here nobody is sensing the rain
Tonight seven souls are reaching hell
Time was standing still
The meeting is over
Their journey is on
Oh, they should have known
Not to play with the powers of hell
Some people have lost their way
Some people have lost their mind
