Massacra недостаточно штучного «Pleasure to Kill» - им подавай массовый «Final Holocaust», и не меньше! Имя Kreator всплывает в памяти при прослушивании этой работы так же явственно, как Celtic Frost – в случае с Winter или Possessed – с дебютником Morbid Angel. Это упоминание приведено, чтобы лишний раз подчеркнуть равное великолепие двух отличных альбомов, а вовсе не упрекнуть французскую команду во вторичности. Монолитная мощь и ломаные ритмические структуры обошли группу стороной: пусть квартет и недотягивает до звания дэтстеров в категории тяжести или навороченности, из трэшевых пеленок его за уши вытягивает ярость. В весе Massacra прибавляла, понемногу теряя былой задор: от нагретой поверхности этой пластинки могли бы прикурить не только большинство соседей по стилю, но и они же сами, на считающемся эталонным «Enjoy the Violence» (не говоря уже о скучноватом третьем альбоме). Самое удивительное, что подобного эффекта французы добиваются, не используя ни бластбита, ни гротескно-низкой настройки инструментов. Звук у гитары даже слишком резкий, повизгивающий, и иногда приближается к бензопильному. Ударные – очень прямолинейны, хотя и в меру разнообразны. Собственно, барабанщик – единственный, кто как-то сдерживает команду в рамках приличия: кажется, что его отчаянный стук - попытка удержать в пределах разумных скоростей рассыпающуюся от несдерживаемых эмоций работу коллег. В концентрате едкой злобы нет ни одного лишнего ингредиента; но отрывистый, порыкивающий лай вокалиста – несомненно, один из приятнейших анахронизмов экстрима 80-х, доведенный до гротеска.
Это не какой-то там «Обыкновенный холокост» - он самый что ни на есть окончательный, после такого искать по норвежским лесам грибы бесполезно – ухо привыкает к другому масштабу. Немецкий трэш, достигший своего предела и беснующийся в тесных рамках стиля; альбом, не уступающий более известному собрату 1991 года. Единственный недостаток диска – к концу он слегка надоедает, что не отменяет ценности каждой композиции самой по себе… |
