На этот раз главенствующии позиции Slipknot на сцене агрессивной музыки пошатнутся точно! Не ждите пощады и встречайте второй альбом Otep - House of Secrets. Начну с того, что этот альбом, как и предыдущий (Sevas Tra) издавался на Capitol Records, но вот продюсингом занимался уже другой человек - Грег Уелсc (который работал с The Deftones) и это серьезно повлияло на звук. Теперь гитары имеют звук пчелиного роя (песни "Warhead", "Sepsis" и "Nein"), в песне "Buried Alive" звук слегка "заржавелый". Агрессия в этих композициях достигла своего апогея и дала полностью раскрыться вокалу девушке Отеп, да и гитарист со своим рёвом не подкачал. Лирика носит сильно заэвуалированный характер, но вней всё равно угадыватся ненависть к Дж. Бушу младшему, его политике, да и вообще ко всем либералам. Самые убойные песни - "Warhead", "Buried Alive", "Sepsis", "Hooks and Splinters", "Nein" занимают примерно треть продолжительности диска (тогда как на Sevas Tra - 50/50). Остальная часть - мрачнейшие готико-альтернативные композиции, переполненные суицидальными настроениями. Среди них заслуживают уважения "House of Secrets", "Autopsy Song" и "Self-Made". Ощущения при прослушивании альбома можно представить в виде цепочки агрессия->ненависть->депрессия->опусташенность. Отеп любит загонять слушателя в тупик - выбирай, суицид или геноцид. В песне "T.R.i.C." с альбома Sevas Tra она призналась: "Мы ломаем стили". Если вас заинтересовал альбом, но настораживает соотнашение тяжелых и мрачных песен, мой вам совет - берите Sevas Tra, не прогадаете. Ах да, атмосфера в "Доме Тайн" царит просто уникальная: на заднем фоне едва улавливаются звуки телесных истязаний, криков, стонов, роя мух над сгнившими телами и прочие тихие ужасы... |

Нью метал - кажется так это называется?
Да если бы весь нью метал был таким как Отеп, то я был бы большим поклонником этого стиля, хотя назвал бы это скорее Thrash метал, по мне так больше похоже на это, и куда уважительнее быть в ряду с такими трешерами как Arch Enemy, чем с грандами Нью метала (пффф) Корном или еще хуже того Линкин Парком и Лимп Пизкитом. Команда образованная в 2000 году, если меня не подводит память, пробилась уже довольно таки высоко в знающих кругах, и заслуживает уже сложившееся почетное уважение. Именно на таких командах тяжелого андеграунда как Otep, он еще собственно и жив. Итак, начинаем слушать, трек номер один с трагичным названием "Requiem" - это даже и не музыка, а некое вступление в альбом, передающее его атмосферу, что последнее время стало довольно таки модно, но это не важно. Начинается песня с шепота, с нежного и трясущегося от нервов дыхания, и даже слышно как смыкаются и размыкаются губы - непередаваемое ощущение (обладатели хороших акустических систем меня поймут), дальше слышится нарастающий ужаса голос, скандал, истеричные, отчаянные крики, пересекающиеся с будоражащими плоть звуками, и где-то на заднем фоне мелькают кола-кола, дальше пошла основная часть трека, описать которую мне уже, извините, не под силу. После постепенного затишья идет взрыв звука, забойный и безумный, с типичным для треша режущим звучанием гитарных рифов и плотных барабанов, это пошел второй трек "Warhead". забойная вещь, и сразу ощущается владение голосом этой, на первый взгляд, милой девочки, но это лишь иллюзия, которая растворяется, когда это чудо начинает петь, хотя можно ли назвать это пением: то зверский брутальный рык сменяется приятным голоском, то шепот взрывается истеричным криком, и все это ОНА, девочка с невинными глазками, которая является огромным преимуществом этой команды. По звучанию этих двух песен можно охарактеризовать весь альбом, которые встречаются в нем то вперемешку, то по одиночке.
Но, несмотря на все это, диск является трепетно-депрессивным, в сочетании со зверской злобой и агрессией (как ни странно). И все это, Оtep, несомненно, сумели передать на все пять баллов. Это - эмоциональный кошмар!

7. AUTOPSY SONG
[intro/gutter]
i once,
dreamed of a world ...
without consequences,
without reminders ...
of this
brutal,
gutter
i am collapsed in.
once i dreamed,
but then ... i ... woke ... up.
[song]
...open wide, look inside
at my autopsy
i feel like a woman
i feel like i care
i feel like i shouldn't
i feel like a child of despair
i feel like it's over
i feel like it's coming after me
i feel like it's closer
i feel like this is all i'll ever be
i feel like a failure
i feel like a hungry parasite
i feel like a razor
i feel like a prayer lost in flight
i feel like ...
i'm hopeless
i'm afraid i'm a slave
i'm weak & average
i feel like a hammer
i feel like a nail
i feel like i'm guilty
i feel like the wrist that it impales
i feel like a butcher
i feel like i'm being deceived
i feel like a beautiful loser
i feel like all you sheep are laughing AT ME!!
OPEN WIDE
LOOK INSIDE
AT MY AUTOPSY.
look inside open wide
look inside open wide
i feel i'm a complete waste of time
i feel i'm transparent
i feel like i can't escape my mind.
8. SUICIDE TREES
[1]
i spent my whole life
in love with despair
kept my lungs full
with the breath of their
mute atmosphere
... i became what i hate.
and thus shall i remain
to give birth to a mighty assassin
armed with a weapon of words
to defy the lies
to never compromise
no.
today, my name .... is pain.
[2]
i stood
beyond the world
whispering secret syllables
in the eyeless dark
dancing wildly
round and round on the rotting ground
surrounded by the dead dusts of Hell ...
this is how i delete myself
& this is how i corrupt everyone else
obey
obey
betray
betray
you are not unique.
you do not need to think.
take it, take it!
i will,
i will ... i will.
you succumb, so nicely.
[like an insect staring back, like a dying dove]
my love ..... [no] ..... my love.
[song]
so here we are again
the sheets are stained & bloodied
the animals scratch at my skin
here we are again
my face is scraped & bloodied
i've nothing left to give
- i wasn't there,
- i'm not involved,
- i'm innocent,
- it's not my fault.
- i wasn't there,
- i'm not involved,
- i'm innocent,
- it's not my fault.
.. here in the suicide trees.
.. here in the suicide trees.
[[no. bloody, bloody, bloody, MURDER!]]
AMONG THE EXCREMENT OF MY SINS!!
it's not happening, it can't be happening, it's not happening.
so here we are again
in secret ceremonies
changing shape, amen.
here we are again
pretending not to notice
the illness sneaking in.
- i wasn't there,
- i'm not involved,
- i'm innocent,
- it's not my fault.
- i wasn't there,
- i'm not involved,
- i'm innocent,
- it's not my fault.
.. here in the suicide trees.
.. here in the suicide trees.
toil & labor
hate your neighbor
faith in favor
obey!
toil & labor
hate your neighbor
faith in favor
obey!
OBEY.
OBEY.
HERE, I DO AS I PLEASE!
HERE IN THE SUICIDE TREES!
HERE, I DO AS I PLEASE!
HERE IN THE SUICIDE TREES!!
OBEY!!
HATE YOUR NEIGHBORS!
HATE YOUR NEIGHBORS!!
[the animals scratch at my skin]
it's not happening, it's not happening.
9. NEIN
MY PAIN, MY PRIDE
THESE SCARS ARE MINE
MY PAIN, MY PRIDE
THESE SCARS ARE MINE
i will tell you a story,
that's never been told
i will tell you a secret,
5 lifetimes old ...
my life has been a prison,
a labyrinth built beneath the mountain of Tragedy.
i'm a stain on the cloth.
i'm just an after-thought.
but i
would die
for this ....
but through the veins of decay
i'll remain to betray
to live like Caesar.
to die like Jesus.
to build my own religion,
no gods, no laws
to celebrate pain
forsaken & ashamed
to watch them all,
crawl beneath us ...
on this bed of nails & regret
dying of fevers, betrayal, & sweat
I CRY ...
[chorus]
my organs are rotting,
my enemies are plotting ...
I AM MADE OF PAGES
PARAGRAPHS & INSPIRATIONS
PAPER GIRL, BURN THE WORLD,
I PASS THE FLAME TO YOU!!
MURDER
MAYHEM
HURT HER
HATE HIM
MURDER
MAYHEM
HURT HER
HATE HIM
MURDER MAYHEM
HURT HER HATE HIM

[verse]
my pain, my pride
these scars are mine
my pain .....
MY MISERY HAS BEEN FORMULATED
INTO AN EQUATION OF NIEN
MY SANITY WROTE
A SUICIDE NOTE
BUT ONE OF US IS ILLITERATE
AND THE OTHER ... IS BLIND
MY 1st ACT OF TREASON
WAS PICKING UP A PEN
MY 1st ACT OF LOVE
WAS FINDING MYSELF AGAIN
THE HARDEST THING TO DO
WAS STANDING UP TO YOU
NOW I'M OFF MY KNEES
NOW YOU'RE BEGGING ME "PLEASE"
I'M THE WOUND & THE WEAPON
THE FRACTURE & THE FIST
[chorus]
my organs are rotting,
my enemies are plotting ...
I AM MADE OF PAGES
PARAGRAPHS & INSPIRATIONS
PAPER GIRL, BURN THE WORLD,
I PASS THE FLAME TO YOU!!
MURDER

HURT HER

and this is how the world died
and this is how the world died
...i can hear you judging me.

ALONE, SHIVERING IN THE DARK
[place your face between my thighs]
3 CENTIMETERS TALL
[& talk to God...]
EATING IT'S HEART
.. but you will not feast on me today.
this is how the world died.
WHO WILL SLAY THIS THING?
[i forgive you]
WHO WILL PLAY THE BUTCHER & END MY SUFFERING?
[i forgive you]
... i fucked the minds of the masses with the fingers of liberty.
THIS IS NOT A THREAT. [this is not a threat]
i'm not perfect, i'm not a beauty queen, i'm just me.
[no one escapes this life alive]
WE ARE ALL,
PRISONERS HERE.
[all shapes & sizes]
... i scream for all the women i've never been but i hoped i would be.
[i'm proud of who i am]
FOREVER, CHASING THE SUN.

AND THIS IS IT .. [i've tasted hell, & it tastes just like you]
MY FINAL PLEA.
NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE ME.
NO ONE IS GOING TO CHANGE THINGS.
THE ANSWERS WILL NOT DROP FROM THE SKY.
I WILL NOT ONEDAY WAKE WITH A DIFFERENT DISGUISE.
THE ONLY SOLUTION ... IS REVOLUTION.
[art is war ... fight, fight]
[[pain makes me safe]]
.. the odds were always against me.
[lose weight/clearly think]
I EXIST.
I AM BROKEN.
I EXIST.
I AM BROKEN.
.. if god is my father then i am an orphan.
I AM BROKEN.
I'M NOT A MISTAKE
[my ancestry is a ghost story]
I'M A PROPHECY
[my love life is a crime scene]
I'M AN OMEN
[my self-esteem is a string of unsolved murders]
THE RADIO IS BRAINWASHING ME,
FILLING MY HEAD WITH THESE SELF-CONSPIRACIES.

I CAN'T HIDE THE PAIN INSIDE
[builder of my own mythology]
JUST TELL ME ... YOU'RE LISTENING.
