| 2. Secondary Effects
Shadows of irrational dread
Sensing worms in lust, blood eyed
The source of my cold existence
Forming, completing my dark side
Overwhelmed by self compassion
A symphony in chaos to no ones ears
The sound of laughter in suffering
And unmourning tears
My thoughts, witho |

Альбом является логическим продолжением предшественника "Expanding Senses". Апокалиптическая смесь из трэша и мелодик-дэта с элементами прогрессива. Из новшеств - пара инструменталов в лучших традициях того самого прогрессива. Группа имеет собственное неповторимое лицо, в чем большая заслуга Кристофера Мальмстрема (гитара) и Питера Вильдоера (ударные), музыкантов со своим фирменным почерком и филигранной техникой, перу которых принадлежит большинство композиций. |

Неоклассическое начало нового диска шведов навело на мысли, что здесь я услышу скорее блэк или дум, нежели традиционный для группы дэт/трэш. Но второй трек развеял эти сомнения. Все необходимые составляющие в виде ядреной смеси, приправленной порцией прогрессива и хардкора, в наличии имеются, так что фэны группы непременно должны остаться довольными. Композиции только на первый взгляд кажутся простыми и незатейливыми, на самом же деле при более внимательном прослушивании становится ясно, что за каждой нотой стоит огромная работа музыкантов. Множество переплетающихся мелодий, хитроумные соло, неожиданные сочетания партий инструментов, уровень игры, свидетельствующий о недюжинном опыте – все это показывает, что в группе собрались настоящие профессионалы. Задорные ритмы и хулиганский вокал придают этой довольно сложной музыке оттенок несерьезности, тем самым облегчая и облагораживая восприятие. Отменного качества запись, мягкая и очень четкая, еще более способствует комфортному прослушиванию. Несмотря на такое изобилие положительных моментов, музыка кажется несколько сумбурной и какой-то неопределенной, что-ли… Может быть, иному слушателю это будет доставлять отдельное удовольствие, но лично меня хардкоровые фишки после соляка в духе прог-метала немного дезориентируют. Но в целом – вполне приятная работа, которую иногда будет интересно переслушать и над которой трудились явно не новички в своем деле. (Диск предоставлен компанией Irond) |

Шведы Darkane давно стоят особняком на мировой дэтовой сцене, с каждым годом становясь на новый уровень развития. Их скоростной мелодичный трэш/дэт, как всегда, очень техничен, красив и сложен, а новое в музыку привнесли клавишные, правда, используются они чаще в припевах, да и то как атмосфера. Неподражаемый вокал делает и без того быструю музыку ещё динамичней, и он теперь стал похож ещё и на The Exploited'овский(!) ор (кроме сходства с Dark Tranquillity и In Flames). Иногда вокалист громко кричит, проклиная весь мир, иногда кажется, что он с нами просто разговаривает, а порой проскальзывает такая задушевность в этом хрипловатом прокуренном голосе, что ваше свинцовое сердце тает, как сливочное мороженое в разгар июльского дня... |

Прослушав альбом сразу 3 раза подряд, я понял что не умерли еще настоящие металисты. Музыка шведов сложна, их мелодичный дэт/трэш смешан с индустриальными, хардкоровыми ритмами и проходами, а иногда очень мелодичными переходами. Плотные гитарные риффы и мелодичные соло гитаристов, бешеная ритм секция барабанщика и басиста, и форсированный вокал. Продуманные психоделические тексты о жизни. И все это вместе дает то, что имеется на диске, то есть запоминающиеся мелодии, недюжий драйв и энергия, которые прут из каждой композиции. Хотя в некоторых моментах хорошо бы вывести соло гитару вперед, а не задвигать ее назад, но такова, наверное, задумка музыкантов. В итоге получается сложная и не тупая музыка для металических эстетов. 10/10 |

Absorbed by a painless heat
Spreading through my swelling veins
Like million creatures trying to defeat
The organic structure of my human flesh
Orgasmic smell of blood, a new born beast
I have become, I have arrived to join this feast
Born a beast
[Lead: Malmstrцm]
Wrath boiling under the surface of my brain
With the thrilling sense from a reptile chase
Crawling from the genetic deep chain
A buried memory of an ancient race
[Lead: Malmstrцm / Ideberg]
Shadows of irrational dread
Sensing worms in lust, blood eyed
Insanity fills my thoughts
A frightful urge to complete my desires
I won't imitate my atmosphere
Opened blind eyes, frozen breath
Laughter's surrounding everywhere
Waking up from apparent death
The eternal well of inner rejection
3. Organic Canvas
I live for what you would call filth and disgust
Someone's loss of blood will power and light my veins
I will paint the colour red all over your pitiful world
I have the knowledge of making art of your pathetic body
A precise stab in your spine and you body is paralysed
But your vision still works, you can witness the pain
You only see it as cut wounds, I consider it art, painted in the flesh
A quick snap and the lights are out.
The absence of skin and the tearing of flesh
People will be chocked by my new exhibition
Ten different pieces of agonising death
I'm in position, I'll re-create what's left.
You think my work is done with rage and hatred,
But you're so wrong: it's done with passion
I carefully select what will be my organic canvas
Mankind need to discover the beauty of agony.
What am I becoming?
What have I become?
Here I am, becoming the final work
A burning self-portrait
Why am I becoming what I am?
[Lead: Ideberg]
[Noise: Malmstrцm]
You seem to find my expressive art so chocking
Those who discover my work never really seem to appreciate them
Watch me perform this masterpiece. Nothing gets more real
A signature written in fresh blood
What am I becoming?
What have I become?
Here I am, becoming the final work
A burning self-portrait
Why am I becoming what I am?
4. Fading Dimensions
Captured in this domain of flesh and blood
An implant of illusions before closed eyes
Forced into the moving shadows
Reality challenges the most vivid imagination
The mind needs to discover for itself
Awake from this dream, living a nightmare
Controlled imagination
Washed away in the waves of insanity
The face of reality is twisted without a form
Placed in this given, yet unwanted madness
Pushing all rational thoughts aside
Reopen the closed doors to infinity
Walking this delusive path
Fantasies more true than life itself
Controlled imagination
Washed away in the waves of insanity
A growing equation of fading dimensions
Thirst exceeding the oceans
[1st lead: Ideberg]
[2nd lead: Malmstrцm]
All access to devoted lust
Are only visions of passionate flesh
Forced into the moving shadows
Reality challenges the most vivid imagination
The mind needs to discover for itself
Awake from this dream, living a nightmare
Controlled imagination
Washed away in the waves of insanity
A growing equation of fading dimensions
Thirst exceeding the oceans
5. Layers Of Lies
A dull perception of an ever-shrinking world
The desire to live outside the given sphere
Set aside the free will and human emotion
How it hurts to know that freedom is gone forever
Lies, layers of lies, layers of lies
Piece of a puzzle, a pawn in a game
Lies, layers of lies, laers of lies
That never will be solved
Thick layers of lies
Is there a choice, or is it in the hands of destiny
No such things as faith, everything is predestined
The presence of all, and the perception of every feeling
Is just a dream that follows a written script
Lies, layers of lies, layers of lies
Piece of a puzzle, a pawn in a game
Lies, layers of lies, laers of lies
That never will be solved
Thick layers of lies
Use the flesh to breed artficial machinery
Bend the time, the past ahead of us
A well kept secret revealed in an instance
Cut through the thick layers of lies
A piece of a puzzle, a pawn in a game
A piece of a puzzle, Cut through the thick layers of
Lies, layers of lies, layers of lies
Piece of a puzzle, a pawn in a game
Lies, layers of lies, laers of lies
That never will be solved
Thick layers of lies
[Lead: Malmstrцm]
6. Godforsaken Universe
Look into my eyes and get a glimpse of annihilation
Seek deep within me, but you will find no pity
You have entered my dominion. Nobody belongs here but me
Once you're here the portal behind you is closed
I'll guide you to agony
I'll make you detest
I'll bring you depravity
This is my quest
No one survives a visit in my hell
Sit back and enjoy your own demise
Feel free to explore, but you will find only wrath
You will dwell in torment and affliction for eternity
I control this godforsaken universe
A passionate sensation, being superior to God
Vanished, nothing left
Perished, no one survive
Do you share my passion for death?
I will serve you a dinner of vengeance
I'll guide you to agony
I'll make you detest
I'll bring you depravity
This is my quest
As your soul is torn with surgical precision
And the void that is left is filled with darkened oblivion
Left is an empty shell, erased egraded
An inexplicable fear of what dread waits
Vanished, nothing left
Perished, no one survive
7. Klastrophobic Hibernation
[Instrumental]
8. Vision Of Degradation
[Lead: Malmstrцm]
Born in filth, with no future in sight
Living of nothing
What chances for survival exists? Is this the way to live?
Death is a choice
Walk among zombies of everyday life
Each day is a war against starvation
Leftovers is the bliss of the day
Hail the god of transparent life
Hail the god that rules the weak
Hail the god, see through the waste
Hail the god, degradation is the way
Razor void crumbles inside
Curves flatter the spine
The surrounding people express their hate
No warmth, no compassion
A never-ending battle each day
Enslaved, compiled, degraded
Empowered by the paper thin ruler
Hail thee for no demise
The god of transparent living
Takes away all visions of life
[Lead: Ideberg]
Chemical indulgence
Master of all misery
Imprisoned by the lord of deceit
Entwined in a world of chaos
Enslaved, compiled, degraded
Death is a choice
Hail thee for no demise
Leftovers is the bliss of the day
9. Contaminated
Forgotten memories that touches our minds
Painful splinters of a cold relief
A humble bow in front of a war to come
Species allied from the dawn of time
Lie scattered on the brinks of hell
Not more then a whisper, a sigh of faith
Ascending hate outlines our path
Into the precipitous oblivion
Glorified acts of violence produces
The foundation to our ruin
Conditions are right
Exclusively yours, not more than a whisper
A sigh of a forgotten faith
Contaminated mind
Creator of the growing feud
Contaminated soul
Creator of a conclusive war
Forgotten memories that touches our minds
Painful splinters of a cold relief
A humble bow in front of a war to come
Species allied from the dawn of time
Lie scattered on the brinks of hell
Not more then a whisper, a sigh of faith
Desolate planes, human destructive glory
Lingers in the hollow remains
Of a slowly penetrating anger
We're tied up in darkness, helplessly bound
Exclusively yours, not more than a whisper
A sigh of a forgotten faith
Contaminated mind
Creator of the growing feud
Contaminated soul
Creator of a conclusive war
[Lead: Ideberg]
10. Maelstrom Crisis
[Instrumental]
[Lead: Malmstrom]
11. Decadent Messiah
Castaways on anguish island
Haunted by a thousand ghosts
Tortured to complete denial
Threatened by the truth
Propagate in bitter anger
Multiply in clone like twins
Serve, obey, believe
Kneel down
Bow before his feet
The master of deceit
Bloodstained, raging liar
Rule with death and fire
Decadent Messiah
Throw yourself into darkness
God invented you to be
The saviour of mankind
Dive into the well of hatred
Turn away all sense of guilt
Drive yourself through fire and pain
[Lead: Malmstrцm]
Have no fear, have no thought
The less you know the more you gain
Ignorance complete the madness
Pledge allegiance to the flame
In sickness and in death
'Till Hell do you part.
12. The Creation Insane
Falling through the heart of darkness
Your nightmare has just begun
Reflections of personal experiences
Has forever darkened the sun
Being in a terrifying state of mind
Desperately trying to get open the eyes
Absorbing with fear, this horrific world
Observing when the last of my soul dies
Displayed in grotesque ways
A hell for those who are there
Hiding in a personal dark place
Why do you even care?
No - No one really want to
Know - We're turning our backs
To - evil reality
So - we live our secure
Lives - not aware of what happens on the
Outside - In the true world that we will live and
Die - With no contribution at all!
Disbelieving in the sense of compassion
Living in a lie that is build by ourselves
Caring for each other is out of fashion
Destroying what's good is an easy escape
Our minds forever eaten by
The world as we know it
The lame attempts, the creation insane.
There's no difference between you and me
Blood on our hands will never set us free
Watching a violent act from a distance
With no intension to put it to an end
A victim in fear begging for existence
But you are not there for him to defend
While walking away you can hear his screams
It doesn't move your heart of stone
But the cowardly decision will follow your dreams
And the smell of fear is always your own.
[Lead: Malmstrцm]
13. Subliminal Seduction
