| 1. Infected Nation
[Music by Evile, lyrics by Matt Drake]
From the skies I see a rising storm
A problem breed of thoughtless born
Aggression runs along the lines
Influence pushes the mass design
Infected nation
A faulted creation
Show us salvation
Infected nation
I see our freedom take |

Любимцы Earache Records стали веселее на новом альбоме – должен признаться, меня Evile убеждают где-то лишь до половины «Infected Nations». Плотный звук, отличное композиторское чувство, техника исполнения – но чувство, выражаемое как «Wow!», держится не очень долго, да и вызвано, в первую очередь, такой метал-оргией заглавного трека. Не стану утверждать, что всё отстой и гумус: альбом сделан очень вкусно, возможно и обрадует многих поклонников этого жанра. К продукции не придраться вообще. Не столько понимание, что Evile не были бы возможны без Metallica и Testament, сколько ощущение чего-то типизированного, пробирочного, как и в случае с хвалёнными Warbringer, мешает отдаться этому урагану. Оченно рекомендую боевики с альбома: «Infected Nations», «Devoid of Thought», «Time No More», самая интересная композиция – это, пожалуй, «Metamorphasis». В завершение слушателей и слушательниц ожидает длинный инструментал (чем нынче мало кто из трэшеров балуется), но из любви к правде надо сказать, что «Позвоните в Тулу» у ранней Metallica было и того драматичней. Хотя судить об этом нужно всё-таки каждому и каждой для себя, тем более, что малоизвестная банда вызвала к себе интерес в тру-кругах, обзаведясь своим персональным великомучеником – Майком Александром (да будет Аллах к нему милостив).
Отличные соло, харизматичная манера пения у Мэта Дрэка. Симпатичный альбом, несмотря на все косяки, вызванные ревайвалом трэш-метала. |

Первый альбом Evile мной был незаслуженно обласкан - очень приятно было слушать старомодный трэш-метал от молодёжи, и поэтому, думаю, не я один накинул ему балл-другой. Но второй альбом - это уже время новых свершений, нахождения своего собственного звучания и стиля.
Если на "Enter the Grave" англичане разрывались сразу между всеми монстрами стиля, то на "Infected Nations" ориентир был выбран более конкретно. "Йаметаллико!" - решили братья Дрейки и бросились соответствовать. Бодрые риффы в стиле молодого жеребчика были разбавлены медленными и среднетемповыми ходами, мелодий стало больше, вокал стал очень похож на голос Хэтфилда периода "Justice", ребята попытались добавить музыке разнообразия и глубины. Получилось ли у них? Лишь местами. Аранжировкам не хватает изысканности и сложности, иногда Evile просто не знают, чем заполнить переходы между риффами, фирменной "металликовской" дотошности и изысканности просто нет. Впрочем, думаю, грех предъявлять подобные претензии, ведь нет среди англичан композитора уровня Хэтфилда и музыкального гения, подобного Бёртону. Кёрка Хэммета тоже нет, так что соляки особой притягательностью похвастаться тоже не могут.
Здесь есть свои хиты: это и заглавная вещь, и "Plague to End All Plagues", и инструментал. Звук записан вполне неплохо, хоть компрессия и могла бы быть менее злобной. Хороший альбом, где-то между шестёркой и семёркой, но за старательность можно и натянуть до 4+. |

Powers that be have lost ascension
People buried in the walls
Knowledge will hold no power at all
Infected nation
A faulted creation
Show us salvation
Infected nation
All these creatures
Are blind to reason
Fear the day when
No one can stop them
Stop them
Infected nation
Infected nation
Infected nation
2. Now Demolition
On the path to lose his mind
His punishment in sight
Face the man on the other side
Keep hidden thought with rhyme
Take vengeance where all the guilty you find
Demolition
Demolition
Now demolition
Demolition now
Searching blind for answers near
Nightmares reveal to thee
Scores of watchers over see
Where secrets dare not be
Look behind the eyes that see past time
Take vengeance where all the guilty you find
Demolition
Demolition
Now demolition
Demolition now
From the void they take the stars
They rip and tear him down
In his eyes they steal the sky
He'll never wear his crown
Take vengeance where all the guilty you find
Demolition
Demolition
Now demolition
Demolition now
Demolition
Demolition
3. Nosophoros
Far beyond our grasp
Within eyes burn with hate
Blinding appetite
With a lust to separate
Striking at the line
Preaching from a hollow throne
Scarring humankind upon poisoned words they've grown
Strength we need
Seeking peace
Denied of the choice
Of who they are to become
Need to educate
So all the wrongs can be undone
Hiding underground
Face deep in disguise
Misguiding all the young
Seems that elders aren't so wise
Strength we need
Seeking peace
Strong will be our pride
Pushing on without divide
Look how far we've come
Ever closer to one mind
Strong we'd be
No divide
Ever closer
To one mind
Are we caught in madness?
Still no complete union
Some are walking madness
Stood in the way of progress
Strong we'd be
No divide
Ever closer to one mind
4. Genocide
Drag me down
Depths I dread
Where I pass million dead
Conflict wraps me in waves
To show kings and slaves
Sinking deep as I find
Just was lurks in there minds
Let me go as I rise
I hold no more life inside
I have seen through others eyes
Such things I fear to see with mine
Vision of a future denied
Pull me away from genocide
Staring down the face of time
Far I drift through the lines
More I see morbid ways
Down I cannot stay
Try and surface from the truth
As it's pulling down on you
All these demons we detest
The demons are
These demons are only men
I have seen through others eyes
Such things I fear to see with mine
Vision of a future denied
Pull me away from genocide
I held my breath I was pulled below
From the earth that I wanted for
These hands that hold
Press me to the past
Are the same that bring
Me back from the dead
I have seen through others eyes
Such things I fear to see with mine
Vision of a future denied
Pull me away from genocide
Genocide
Genocide
Genocide
Genocide
These demons are only men
5. Plague To End All Plagues
Take the world by the throat for pleasure
Ask forgiveness not once
Are you sat on enough possession
Living with what tempts you
Would you give for the mountains you made
Wealth is all in your eyes
From here I see even in peace
You find a way to war
Plague to end all plagues
Plague to end all plagues
The plague to end all
Turning fast far below the skin
Greed demands that you rise
Never trust the man who seeks power
Loyalty comes at a price
As you gain from another's misfortune
More ideals turn to sand
Try deny power breeds corruption
With the stains on your hands
Plague to end all plagues
Plague to end all plagues
The plague to end all
Plague to end all
Plague to end all plagues
Plague to end all plagues
Plague to end all plagues
Plague to end all plagues
The plague to end all
The plague to end all
6. Devoid Of Thought
Changing out the face you wear
Turning from the guilty stares
Listen to the fables you tell
You're giving the game away
Aren't you ever man enough
To face your consequence
Did the fire burn too bright
So you launch more offence
Thought
Devoid of thought
Devoid of thought
Fiction crossing in with fact
Caught up in creation's frame
Honestly, the greater act
You're too far to go back
Wanting not the world you walk
Living in the one that's made
Negative a positive
For your weak masquerade
Thought
Devoid of thought
Devoid of thought
Devoid of thought
Devoid of thought
Come forth with the truth
Come forth
Be who you are
Not who you want
Be who you are
Not who you want
Devoid of thought
7. Time No More
This haunted longing soul
Keep under lock and key
A straight line walked upon
passed over for his needs
Where finding nothing real
Wanting for nothing more
This mirror beckons closer
To show himself ignored
Brave the fall
Wolf you call
Time no more
This way you could take it all
Others climb to the sky
While monsters grip him tight
Chance is a faith unknown
It's driven deep from sight
Given a thousand keys
To open many doors
They could have healed his soul
There is no other cure
Brave the fall
Wolf you call
Time no more
This way you could take it all
Look into the staring void
Wake and curse yourself
Time to start another page
Chance may gift you change
Wasting all the breath you save
You lose it while you know
Life can heal every pain
Friend it's time you grow
Brave the fall
Wolf you call
Time no more
This way you could
Brave the fall
Wolf you call
Time no more
This way you could take it all
8. Metamorphosis
I search among the layers
Reaching beyond what lives out there
These trials I have to take
I tread the wild lands awake
I've been where others dwell
They know not where I go
Possessed by deeper sense
Eternal life a quest intense
So follow me
Far off the line
I'll lead you all
Into the light
Unending life
Throw yourself to the sun
Where you find you've become
Infinite eternal
Unknown land
Under the earth it sleeps
Tempting for those that it keeps
Inside the void it drives
Rising to open up and take alive
Throw yourself to the sun
Where you find you've become
Infinite eternal
Unknown land
Leave the cold hands of the past
Pressing strong and fast
Free myself from their hold
In warming light unfold
Turn, leave the line
Take the wheel, living
Breathing
Walk where no one stands guard
Fire walk with me
Further through, growing
Being
From roots we touch the sky
9. Hundred Wrathful Deities
[Instrumental]
10. My Parasite
[Bonus track]
Scower helping hands
The aid in chase I crave
Remedy the prowl for
A hindrance of due grace
Living bounded
Shifting enduring guard
Follower, evasion absurd
Hunt for the fight
To kill my parasite
Demon eternal
Anticipate
In danger
Myself I concentrate
Living bounded
Shifting enduring guard
Follower, evasion absurd
Hunt for the fight
To kill my parasite
Parasite
If dies the keeper
Parasite
The sycophant's demise
Living bounded
Shifting enduring guard
Follower, evasion absurd
Hunt for the fight
To kill my parasite
Parasite
Parasite
Parasite
Kill my parasite
