| The Clan of Cross
I.
After years of glory and peace,
And we lived with our Gods,
They came in the night to us,
Brought us the dead we lost our trust
They took ours to us believe
They destroyed our houses and fields
Men and children were tormented and killed
With a smile they raped our w |

Немецкие команды довольно долго раскачивались, чтобы подхватить финскую волну разухабистых фолковых плясок и танцев, начатую Finntroll и продолженную Ensiferum, однако сейчас на баварской, да и не только, землях можно найти таких же как и финны, весельчаков. Дебютная работа представителей Баварии Wolfchant вряд ли оставит равнодушными любителей Finntroll и Ensiferum. Их бравурные и задорные паган фолковые мелодии, пусть и звучат не лучшим образом (запись на самом деле больше напоминает кассету с характерным песочком), поднимает настроение на раз и делают именно то, что нужно, а именно бодрят по утрам. Почти каждая из песен более или менее напомнит об Ensiferum ("Mourning Red" по мелодике уж очень похож на "Token Of Time"), некоторые из них вызовут ассоциации с творчеством Suidakra ("Blood For Blood"), а то и Manowar ("Of Honour And Pride"). Ну и настоящей наградой для тех, кто выдержал напор этих бодрых, но несколько однообразных песенок станет концовка диска. Эпичная 7 минутная “Revenge” с очень красивой партией флейты, несколько таинственная инструментальная вещь “Visions Of Death” с шепотом на фоне дождя и гиперпозитивная плясовая “Praise To All” окончательно очаруют слушателя. Вся лирика, базирующаяся на северной мифологии, размещена на специальном сайте, буклет же издания прост – в нем на фоне леса и красивых ручьев, как это водится в таких случаях, с мечами, топорами и страшными лицами представлена вся молодежь Wolfchant. Остается надеяться, что к новым работам они не растеряют задора и чуть ближе подтянуться к уровню финских команд. (Диск предоставлен компанией Mystic Empire) |

Театр начинается с вешалки, а ознакомление с альбомом – с обложки, что ни для никого не секрет! На почти стандартном коверарте немецкой команды, исполняющий фолк-метал Wolfchant нарисованы: лес, озеро, и… и солдатский тесак времен Первой Мировой Войны! Я уж грешным делом подумал, что они как и латыши Skyforger, решили пройтись по местам боевой славы своих дедов, воспев их деяния и доблесть в битве при Сомме и прочие достопамятные события тех лет (вот написал-то!!). Но я жестко обломался! Из буклета на меня мрачно глядели участники группы все как один в ч0рном, в резиновых наручах (не тру:-)) и с Мъолльниром на шеях! Текстов песен они не напечатали, только сюжет альбома, который оказался концептуальным!! Вольный перевод с английского: «Была когда-то сказочная страна, называемая Старыми Полями (Old Fields), с ней граничила страна Клэйм (Claim), королем которой был Узиель (Uziel), работавший по совместительству Магистром Клана Креста (Clan of Cross). Помимо этого он недолюбливал соседей, которые были язычниками. Однажды темной ночью (плохие герои делают все темной ночью, а хорошие – ясным днем)) Узиель напал на Старые Поля и начал убивать местных жителей, он убил почти всех, но сотня людей спаслась и спряталась в горах. По прошествии 10 лет к вождю спасшихся Аахру пришел Один и сказал, что пора дать Узиелю…” За дальнейшей историей – обращайтесь непосредственно к группе, на их страницу в и-нете! Первая мысль, после почтения этой истории – полный ахтунг! Сюжет – банальней некуда! Любой первоклассник такой придумает за 1.5 минуты!
Теперь насчет музыки: В принципе – неплохо, бодро, мелодии – есть, многие песни запоминаются с первого раза, пара песен – почти хиты, неплохой скриминг, но…какая-то пластмассовость в звучании, один мой товарищ послушал и сказал, что они ему чем-то напомнили группу Технология! Да еще какое-то дребезжание, противное такое, непонятной природы! Помимо этого я люблю когда всякие флейты и прочие инструменты исполняются вживую, а не программируются синтезатором, используй они живые инструменты – оценка была бы на пару баллов выше, а так, в совокупности, больше 6 баллов поставить не могу. Да еще позерский имидж! |

For more than 10 years we live like slaves
Suppressed in the own country
Our Gods are so far away
There is no more hope we prayed and prayed
Only I could flee into the mountains
As the last member of the leaders
With my son on my side
And one hundred warriors
Chorus:
Clan of the Cross - you stole my land
Burned ground on which we live
Clan of the Cross – you took our believe
Burned skin decorate my body
Clan of Cross
You are hated
You are feared
But never recognized
II.
Thus we hid us in the mountains high
Over days and years ago
We lost the courage to live
And see our friends dying
Now the time, the time is came
In which we have to do something
We must raise the swords again
In order to go into the fight
My son convinced his soldiers soon
They are ready to go into war again
We prepare everything
To going back in our old land
Bridge:
We must bring our compatriots
To follow us in this fight
Death and pain will expect us
But in the end we all be united
Chorus:
Clan of the Cross - you stole my land
Burned ground on which we live
Clan of the Cross – you took our believe
Burned skin decorate my body
Clan of Cross
You are hated
You are feared
But never recognized
I am War
I.
The years they past and one day follow the next,
We live withdrawn in the forests 10 years now passed
Since we were attacked and had to flee into the mountains
So I cannot live on, like an animal on the escape
And my son I must convince, we must fight this time
Equivalent this evening I will tell him of my plans
Because he spoke ever more to go into war
He was inspired of my suggestion.
Chorus:
I am war – can you see
I am your force – look at me
I am the fear in our enemies’ eyes
I am the Thunderhawk who never dies
Bridge:
Also the soldiers were inspired of this plan
We want to rather die than our country to lose
We must go to Ashwood, here the clan is weakest
We must convince the inhabitants to fight; we are stronger than ever before
The people must know that a member of the elders is still alive
On a hidden place in the forest we want to met.
Here I will speak to all, the falcon on my arm.
I am blessed by Odin and I will show you the way
II.
Now the night had broken in, 1000 men had met
Oh Odin be by my side, they all must follow me
And Odin appeared Aahr in shape of a falcon
For the years in which you were faithful to me, I will now recompense you
I feel it your power is in me, we will be victorious
Befriends the time is come to stop our pain
Again we all should take the weapons
I be blessed by Odin and I will show you the way
Chorus:
I am war – can you see
I am your force – look at me
I am the fear in our enemies’ eyes
I am the thunderer who never dies
Mourning Red
(The first attack)
I.
Finally the time came
In that our revenge is taken
All are coming on this day
More than 1000 swords and spears
We will use the shade of the night
To implement the first attack
We will get them when they sleep
None may survive or escape
Have no fear oh my befriends
I will march ahead at the front
We get which to us belonged
To live in peace, in piece again
And in such a way we reached
The castle of the enemy
In such a silence they do sleep
And now we let the fire burn
These flames will our country clean
With sword and shield we are storming
In the morning red you die
A mournful day for you all
Chorus:
Burning arrows fly by air
We march against the enemy
The air it burns and iron meets on flesh
Our opponents can not resist
Our attack is a full success
We got them in the sleep
We fight for our liberty
Independent again
II.
Now the gates broke through
We are storm the inner court
The against resistance
Of the enemy is weak
We will take no one
No one as a prisoner
The base is taken nearly
The clan and its fellows flee
The sun comes up slowly
The new day bring back us our land
The land we lived so long time
The land we are want to dieing for
Smoke rises on to the clouds
Hundred’s dead bodies lay
Laying down on the ground
The liberty demands its victims
A general is in our hands
He will tell us of their plans
The torture will bring him to speak
And the victory be ours
Chorus:
Burning arrows fly by air
We march against the enemy
The air it burns and iron meets on flesh
Our opponents cannot resist
Our attack is a full success
We got them in the sleep
We fight for our liberty
Independent be again
Of honour and pride
Chorus:
We drink met and beer and wine
Of everything the best and all is fine
We sing today from honour and pride
All friends and brothers are by our side
A story of a battle we will tell you now
A battle we had won – my friends - shout it out loud
We march again when the morning come
With courage in our hearts and the opponents will run
Text:
Saddle our horses we will ride into war – together we fight and we die
Tomorrow will come and will bring a new day and Odin is by our side
We will bring the glory back in this land – we will bring you the peace
Ride To Ruhn
I.
The morning red Is to be seen behind the mountains high
This is called that blood will spilled and some men have to die
Our fate already certain and I’m the chosen one
Now it’s in my hand - prepare everything for war
I must ride to Ruhn to meet with Illnar my old friend
He have to help me organize - the Recondition fight
We must educate new troops for the last attack
Nobody see or recognize us here in Ruhn town
Bridge:
We are riding fast – faster than the wind
Our will is strong - We are not afraid
Not afraid to die - Odins horde arise
See the power - in - my - eyes
Now finally we arrived – Illnahr is by my side
To the other ones we will go – will tell of our victory
Chorus:
Now the time is came and the old fields will awake
We’re united now and so much time has past the lands
In the heart of the clan we hid ourselves these days
And soon we will give you the mortal blow
Now the time is came and the old fields will awake
We’re united now and so much time has past the lands
All together we will strike in 3 month we are free
We send our prays to odin
Ride to Ruhn for victory
We will arise the clan must flee
Ride to Ruhn with power and steel
We are here to fight and kill
II.
Illnar told me of his planes to bring the clan to fall
I met some of my old friend they are ready too
More thousands of our old soldiers swear me loyalty
I tell them of my father and that he’s on the way to Ahrren
Another 1000 of our soldiers come from the Ashwood town
In 3 months in the night we have to finish everything
Than we will meet us with all our soldiers here in Ruhn
The same strike like in Ashwood we will come in the night
Now you all know of our planes Illnar is not by my side
Bridge:
We are riding fast – faster than the wind
Our will is strong - We are not afraid
Not afraid to die - Odins horde arise
See the power - in - my - eyes
Now finally we arrived – Illnahr is by my side
To the other ones we will go – will tell of our victory
Chorus:
Now the time is came and the old fields will awake
We’re united now and so much time has past the lands
In the heart of the clan we hid ourselves these days
And soon we will give you the mortal blow
Now the time is came and the old fields will awake
We’re united now and so much time has past the lands
All together we will strike in 3 month we are free
We send our praise to Odin
Ride to Ruhn for victory
We will arise the clan must flee
Ride to Ruhn with power and steel
We are here to fight and kill
The Betrayal
Chorus:
A Betrayal among us - it comes quietly in the night
Iike an illness in my self – wand’s to destroy our plans
And the Clan knows us now – careful we must be
My best friend is the traitor - i can’t that believe
I.
After so many days
With my friends here in Ruhn
Everything is planned now
Meet us again in this night
I see hope in the eyes
In the eyes of my friends
They are not longer alone
Now it is worth to die itself
I will appoint Illnar now
To the new general
He is to state the Rebellion
The Rebellion in Ruhn
But where is my friend - I cannot find him
I fear the worst things
II.
The doors of our hitting place fly up
Soldiers of the clan storm into the room
It comes to the fight – many of us die
A dark shape enters the area
Illnar the traitor – the traitor of our land
Ragnar gets in prison - it is to be used as pledge
The father is to be forced - to lay down the weapons
Sacrifice
I.
Now I sit here in chains - helplessly and alone
Betrayed from the best friend – used as a pledge
Uziel prepares its men – to ride against my father
Oh Odin, I failed and we going to loose
Hopefully the soldiers I sent
Reached my father in time
So that they can warn him
To the carren field we will ride
My fate is decided – i have to die
My fate is decided – i die
Chorus:
Falcons fly high in the sky
Once time still so free like them
Im here so small and alone
Oh father – i will brake out – will brake out
Bridge:
Uziel you damned
I will prevent your plan
You will be surprised
Our land will never be yours
Now we meet us
In the carren fields
I sit on my horse
Guarded the last time
(Ready to die)
II.
Odin – father give me the power
To fight the last time for my land
Into a lance I will fall to kill myself
Everywhere is blood I see the falcons fly
Blackness surrounds me and I feel so cold
My heart stop pounding the last story is told
Every breath is a pain, I close my eyes
I begin to fly and the falcons cry
Blood for Blood
I.
Oh my god – i can’t believe – whats happen now with me
Oh my god – what should i do – my son is dead – the only one
I feel so much – pain in me – my heart is cold – like ice
Uziels look – is full of fear – everywhere is blood - to see
Oh my god – is this the time – i will attack – rigth now
Chorus:
And I will now attack
Blood for Blood – it’s my revenge
Feel my pain feel my sword
Blood for Blood – for my son’s life
And I will now attack
Blood for Blood – it’s my revenge
Feel the rage in my heart
You die for my son
II.
Oh my god – Uziel can’t believe – whats happen now with him
Oh my god – he has no chance – our swords will hit – his mans
He was not calm – he is surprised – against our attack
Uziels look – is full of fear – everywhere is blood - to see
Oh my god – his soldiers run – hundrets are dead – we won
Bridge:
Wind and storm are by my side – The troops of Odin won
Our wilderness is like an animal – the false king has to run
Feel my coldness – feel my sword
We still alive - and we still strike
Feel my agony – my pain
Look in my eyes – you have to die
Clankiller
The next important battle we had won
But to many of the clan could flee
Uziel is back in his headquarter
He will call his soldiers to defend us
I can’t mourn for my dead son
And now we should fight again
This time is to less for me
But I demand the revenge
I will send some messengers
To the towns Ashwood and Ruhn
They have to tell our allies
That we meet us in 7 days
Chorus:
Strong we stand together
We know the next days are crucial
Nobody knows what the morning will bring
Or if he is still alive
This is our Revenge
We have to go our way
This is our destiny
The darkest time in our life
I hope the messengers will arrive soon
I don’t have enough soldiers and men
We need more swords and spears
To have a chance to win
Now today it is time for us
Our hard journey will start today
I can see the fear in the faces
Of my friends my soldiers my heart
Bridge:
Death and pain will pave my way
Blood and flesh on broken bones
Agony and mourn are in my heart
This is the only reason why I have to fight
Chorus:
Strong we stand together
We know the next days are crucial
Nobody knows what the morning will bring
Or if he is still alive
This is our Revenge
We have to go our way
This is our destiny
The darkest time in our life
Revenge
Chorus:
Wind and Storm will follow
Us in this glory night
The clan will fall today
The Victory of gods
Wind and Storm will follow
Us in this glory night
And nobody can stop us
Glory of the gods
I.
The night began and full moon is to see
The wind he blows us in this fight
Our flags we holding in the hands
The coat of arms is liberty
The Ashwood soldiers already are there
I can see thousands burning torches
It has begun to raining and to thunders
Lightning’s are to be seen in the sky
King Uziel and the Clan of Cross
Withdrew themselves behind the city wall
But these will not be able to withstand us
Because we built up this walls sometime
Yes, now the instant finally is came
Our fate will fulfil itself on this day
I can smell the fear of our enemies
But nobody can save them - no more
I stretch my hand into the air
And keep firmly clasped my sword
Now I instruct the attack on the city
And a powerful storm begins to blow
II.
The night in gales and full moon is to see
The storm he carries us in this night
Our flags we holding in the hands
The coat of arms is liberty
Thousands of stones fly against the walls
Against the mighty walls of Ruhn town
Arrows and Spears hit the enemies
I can smell blood and fear
The horses trample with the hooves
Everywhere you can hear the cries of death
But we do not know pity today
Because this will be our last battle
The combat capability of the clan is destroyed
They cannot resistance us any longer
But we do not let any of them flee
Today they will die by our hands
Some of our mans catched Illnar the traitor
The traitor of my son and the land
I instruct to burn him before the city
And he should not get a sword
Bridge:
I run to the middle of the city
To the old fields now Uziels palace
There our soldiers had catched him
Now we will fight man against man
Uziel prays for his life
I strike with my fist in his bloody face
And instructs him to stand up
Now fights for your ridiculous life
The swords meet each other
My rage increase continues
My blade meets the opponent heart
He makes his last breaths – over and out!
We won the land is free - we won victory !!!
Brother and sister we are free – we won victory
Odin’s heathen army won - we are the clan killer
The night in Blood and full moon is to see
The fire of liberty carries us in this night
The old fields flag we holding in the hands
The coat of arms now is victory
Visions of Death
Aahr my son today your mission now ends
The Land and the people are free and the victory is ours
The christian enemy is banned and destructed from
This holy place
The old gods come back in there mighty halls
Now take place beside me and your son
It is time to fulfil your promise to me
Cross the rainbow bridge as one of my warriors
Your last task is to celebrate with your friends and family
And than come in my arms – my son!!!!
Oh Godfather I will come to Walhalla
My fate is already certain and I clutched my sword
From now on I will fight on your side
Free like the wind and the eagles in the sky!
Praise to all
Chorus:
Today is the one day, the land now is free
We have back our homes and new hope we can see.
To Odin we pray to have freedom again
In trust of him we live and all enemies are bend
I.
My dear friends our Mission is done
The Land is free and the enemy is beat
My brother and sisters – Now I have to go
Before us is a new future – use it carefully
My dear friend this is the end of my way
The time is coming goodbye I have to say
My soldiers and friend which fought by my side
The gods will bless you and to Walhalla I ride
We want to celebrate up to the morning
We want to drink up to the next day
We want to celebrate up to the morning
We want to drink as if there are none tomorrow
Chorus:
II.
To all the gods our Mission is finished now
The Land will grow up strive for new power
To my son which is waiting in Walhalla
After the next morning red we are united again
To all of you, to all which died in this war
Lifts the glasses and drink out the beer
A new morning is coming our fate is certain
Stay strong together, we meet us again
We want to celebrate up to the morning
We want to drink up to the next day
We want to celebrate up to the morning
We want to drink as if there are none tomorrow
Bridge:
Wind and fire bring me up to Odin’s mighty hall
The rainbow bridge I have to pass now
The Falcon fly in front of me and I will follow him
I will watch over you all
