 Признаться, я ждал от этого альбома большего, видимо, соблазнившись его культовым статусом уже двадцатилетней выдержки и ориентируясь на свою любовь к диковатой музыке 80-х. Увы, «Strappado», который на момент своего выхода заслужил лестного сравнения с современными ему альбомами Slayer, сейчас не производит должного впечатления ни тяжестью материала, ни, вопреки ожиданиям, его непосредственностью. С этого альбома, в числе прочих, растут ноги у дэт-метала, - так утверждает история, и в это с охотой веришь, слыша отчаянную молотьбу ударника и грязный, «гудящий» звук гитар; однако больше всего классика Slaughter напоминает хардкор/панк, взявший на вооружение достижения наиболее тяжелых метал-команд того времени. Не знаю, слышали ли канадцы иных первопроходцев экстремальной музыки, также начинавших свой путь с попытки скрестить эти стили, однако «Strappado» звучит очень похоже на Repulsion или на еще более грубую вариацию первенца Onslaught. В принципе, сюда же можно добавить и Death, фронтмену которых, недолго погостившему в составе этой группы, посвящена душевная песня «Fuck of Death». Быстрые песни удались Slaughter лучше всего, среднетемповые откровенно утомляют однообразным чесом. Звук слишком уж тяжелый для трэша, а фантазии на что-то больше, чем похожие одна на другую песни-считалочки, у музыкантов не хватило. Для своего времени альбом, вполне возможно, был вехой и одной из ключевых работ. Сейчас же, когда выросло и накопило изрядный творческий багаж поколение, еще тогда, два десятилетия назад, вдохновлявшееся им, для большинства не помешанных на раритетах слушателей он уже ничего не значит. |

gaining on you faster
leaves jet planes standing still
scorch the moon to cinders
melt metal into lakes
Disintegrater likes it
Disintegrater takes Hiroshima was no match
dwarfed by this desolation
the haulocaust was nothing
by Disintegraters salvation
the Earth is smashed to pieces
universal rise and fall
the stars are now a waste land
Disintegraters called
[Incinerator]
Make way for the Incinerator...
In suits they were dressed,when the button was pressed
they fed upon semen,the governments a demon
they left us bleeding and sore,in the hands of the
incinerator
In the bible we looked while our cities all cooked
the mutants didn't learn towards Satan they turned
while the wind ripped and tore from the wrath of the
incinerator
[chorus:]
Incinerator
wood for a feast
Incinerator
when you expect it least
Incinerator
didn't learn from the past
Incinerator
to nuclear war we're cast...
And now the molds cast from mistakes of the past
we're all melting in this hot cauldron of sin
and through all his blood and gore comes the
incinerator
[chorus]
[repeat first verse]
[chorus]
2. Nocturnal Hell
Into the dream world slowly I creep
into the land that I go when I sleep
This time I'm trapped and cannot return there are
certain things a mere mortal can learn
Wildest fantasy at first it feels good
slowly things happen not the way they should
You can control it and your ripped wide apart enter my
nightmare,it's only just a start
Jump out of bed And you're fully awake
feeling a tremor as the bed shakes
you realize it now and you muffle your scream you
awake in the hell we all know as "the dream"...
3. F.O.D. (Fuck Of Death)
Deep in the coffin,death prevails
slowly awaiting rotting entrails
naked cadaver,ready to mount
open the mouth,go down for the count
White and clammy,cold as ice
f*** of death,will suffice
bury my face in her stench of death
kissing those lips without any breath
Drain the blood from the neck
into the macabre,nightly trek
howl of the witch,flight of the bat
screaming from hell like a Siamese cat
4. Tortured Souls
Rampaging through graveyards
you can hear screams
lost souls trapped in hell
and eternal dreams
cursed spirits wander here,trapped in a void
A giant child plays with you like you are his toy
Try hard to reach the light one that don't exist
cross of all the Gods
that failed your faithful list
spit on God,he's the evil,trapping you in time
forget religions of all types, keeping you in line
We are the Tortured Souls...
F*** death,never panic,live for today
life beyond,past the grave,carry me away
in the crypts,bodies lay,souls all shout
into the light,rising up,all Gods stay out
Never find that guiding light it never did exist
crossing off every God that failed your f****** list
spit on the God,he's the evil,locks you in your mind
Forget religion of all types,they'll only make you
blind...
We are the Tortured Souls...
5. Parasites
Like cancer he can kill from within
penetrates with evil and sin
hunts like a vulture for skin
slowly he infiltrates in
[chorus:]
Parasite legions-sucking your blood
parasite demons-drain plasma flood
parasite leeches-you'll never know when
parasite legions-sucked dry again
Like a snake he creeps in without sound
picks up your scent on the ground
infecting your weaknesses now
infiltrates sweating brow
[chorus]
Like a rapist forcing you all the way
like a parasite feasting on prey
weakens until you collapse
like a fool you fell into his traps
[chorus]
6. The Curse
To summon up the Gods of wrath
into forests,Satanists chant
to bring forth the beast in flesh
to spread the curse is our quest
The total sin
of the worst
witness vengeance
of my curse To read the books of ancient lore
of spells that worked and tried before
reap the wind of medieval sects
written down so no one forgets
the total spell
of the worst
witness vengeance
of the curse
7. Strappado
Prepare yourself for torture
Prepare yourself to scream
this is no bloody story,ain't no f****** dream
Arms are tied behind your back
hands tight in a rope
suddenly your hoisted up,
shoulder blades get broke... Strappado
Put on a pair of Spanish boots
time to soak your feet
plunge them into boiling oil,
fried alive in your seat
Dangle up on sky hooks
Strappado drives you mad
Arms rip off,you slam to the ground,
pains the latest fad...
Strappado
8. Maim To Please
Shaking badly from your fear
Sweating madly, death is near
Time to die, your time has come
Now I got you on the run
Our to kill, I maim to please
Gonna drive you to your knees
Total killoff, life subside
I won't stop until you've died
Reach plateau of horrid fear
Attack, no mercy, shed no tear
Leave you flipping in the mud
Maim to please, I taste your blood
Sink my blades into the sweet flesh
Skin you slowly, bleeding mess
Total bloodsport, maim to kill
Die to please, your blood will spill
Shaking badly from your fear
Sweating madly, death is near
Time to die, your time has come
Now I got you on the run
Our to kill, I maim to please
Gonna drive you to your knees
Total killoff, life subside
I won't stop until you've died
9. One Foot In The Grave
One foot in the grave
Now you're almost dead
Close the lid on your face
Nails pierce through your head
Straight down you will fall
Into the black hole
Dirt surround your face
So take your last breath
Time to take control
Tear the lid of this box
Gasping for some air
Climb out of this hole
Fill in the wretched pit
Time to run like hell
Climb those fucking gates
At last I am now free
10. Tyrant Of Hell
Lord of the underworld
Plotting all your deaths
Set ablaze the gates of Hades
Fire in his breath
Rapes the sky of all the thunder
Mighty is his hand
Grand tormentor, iron king
Ruling hell's hot land
Tyrant of Hell
Torturing you slow
Tyrant of Hell
Extracting what you know
Tyrant of Hell
You're on the brink on doom
Tyrant of Hell
Is coming for you soon
King of the labyrinths
God of death and pain
Blood it flows free of vengeance
Fire in the rain
Christian god is so helpless
Taunted by the sins
Disembodied, holy spirits
The wicked always win
Tyrant of Hell
Torturing you slow
Tyrant of Hell
Extracting what you know
Tyrant of Hell
You're on the brink on doom
Tyrant of Hell
Is coming for you soon
Lord of the underworld
Plotting all your deaths
Set ablaze the gates of Hades
Fire in his breath
Rapes the sky of all the thunder
Mighty is his hand
Grand tormentor, iron king
Ruling hell's hot land
Tyrant of Hell
Torturing you slow
Tyrant of Hell
Extracting what you know
Tyrant of Hell
You're on the brink on doom
Tyrant of Hell
Is coming for you soon
11. Death Dealer
I am death, here's my deal
I've chosen your carcass for my meal
Necrocannibal feast of flesh
I'm the dealer give me death
Death dealer
Death dealer
Deep in your brain I will infest
Parasite feasting on your flesh
Necrocannibal eats dead cunt
Death's not the end, it's just a front
Death dealer
Death dealer
12. Tales Of The Macabre
Listen to my tales of mayhem
that my mouth does spew
a horrid tale of gruesome hell
that's in the future for you
Twisting,turning,mind on fire
a fate you can't escape
hear my tales of the macabre
your f****** souls shall be raped
A few are willing to do my killing
a mindless,zombie race
laced with poisons,packed with guns
I bare all swords and mace
Decapitation will not be swift
I'm gonna deal the wretched blow
Hades assassin,killer supreme
lurk in the shadow of the crow
Tales of the macabre
Tales of the macabre
Tales of the macabre
Tales of the macabre
1, 2, fuck you
YEEEEEYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...
