WRITTEN BY THE DEVIL (2024)

Amen Corner tal vez hay pasado demasiado desapercibida dentro de la escena a pesar de llevar más de treinta años en activo y mantenerse fiel a un sonido primitivo dentro del black, que le debe mucho sobre todo al heavy metal. Manteniendo como seña de identidad en su sonido el lograr un ritmo comedido, y lo que es más importante saber jugar con el para dotar a su propuesta de un dinamismo más que importante. Hay que destacar el enfoque que se le ha dado tanto a las guitarras como al bajo, por un lado los riffs están llenos de musicalidad, sin caer en una melodía excesiva, pero impregnados de un aroma a rock clásico la mayoría de las veces, todo ello pasando por una interpretación del bajo densa y no no exenta de cierta profundidad que otorga al sonido un carácter más denso, profundo y oscuro. Por su parte el trabajo de batería parece sacado de la década de las ochenta, con un buen dominio tanto de las intensidad como de sutiles cambios de ritmo que permiten que los temas transiten por terrenos muy clásicos, acercándolos peligrosamente muchas veces a un sonido muy rock. Las voces saben mostrarse profundas y perfectamente engarzadas con el plano musical en una faceta black/thrash, llenas de oscuridad y profundidad. Está claro que Amen Corner logran revivir el espíritu de sus primeros años, manteniéndose fiel al sonido que los dio a conocer, con algunos aportes más actuales, pero dominando ese sonido proto black que le debía tanto a estilos como el rock o el heavy.

1. Intro 01:24   instrumental

2. The War of the Antichrist 05:38

Over the centuries we’ve seen The running for power and conquerings Endless war, ideological wars Using a name of a god Using fucking Jesus Christ’s name Blood and easy money Wolves in sheep skin Endless war, ideological wars The war of the antichrist People believe in lies Manipulation and order Destroyed forests Dead nature The great work destroyed Death is imminent The war of the antichrist

3. The Protectors 05:28

   The screams echo through the house

Horror and frightening screams

Running in panic through the stairs

Someone asks what has happened

The old Mrs is in panic

Crying and screaming

Sitting on the bed

Who’s in the bedroom? Who?

The protectors

The protectors from inferno

Sitting on the bed

Smoking, drinking and mocking

They said they’re your protectors

I couldn’t stand looking at them

They said you belong to them

The protectors from inferno

That’s the way they’re called

4. Fall and Ascension 07:27

  The infinity, the infinity

I can’t see the end

So high, so high

Impossible see the end

So deep, deepest

Nothing goes that deep

A fatal fall

An impossible elevation

Nothing survives this descending

Oh Lucifer offer your blessings

Save me from this long fall

Take me to your kingdom

The infinity, the infinity

The test of devotion to Lucifer

The pain of falling

The elevation pleasure

Living in heights

For eternity, eternity...

Fall and Ascension

5. Signal from Beyond 05:34

   In the whisper of the night

Candles are lit

Tributes to relatives and friends

Who went to another dimension

We gather with the night

Waves of the sea are like voices

Bright light

I see faces and figures

Something approaches silently

Who are you spirit?

Tell your name

Light brights just like limitless fire

The figure is lit like a bonfire

Lucifer

Deusdemoteme

Touching the body

Holding your hand

Signal from beyond

6. Inferno 03:10

   My eyes, my eyes, I can’t see

My eyes burn, where I am

Inferno

My skin burns, my soul burns in flames

My hearts is frozen, where I am

My bones are torn apart, my soul melts

An endless pain

Horror, agony, despair, where I am

Screams and whispers

I feel pain emptiness and agony

Jesus doesn’t save

Where I am

In Satan’s land

7. Written by the Devil 06:45

  Always by our side, always inspiring us

Always protecting us, always showing the truth

Written by the devil

Always by our side

Written by the devil

He is our friend, He is our master

In dreams the revelation

Showing the vision, choosing the way

On the devil’s road, that takes us forward

Without fear and determination

Nothing will stop us

On the devil’s road Jesus has no time

With energy and strength

The power of the pentagram

The earth is on fire

Death and destruction

Written by the devil

Always by our side

Written by the devil

He is our friend, He is our master

9. Lúcifer, a Suprema Luz da Manhã 04:45

Ó luz que que vem da escuridão Ilumina o meu caminho Ó Estrela que anuncia um novo dia, conduze-me Sois a luz que cega os incapazes de verem com meus olhos Tu és a Estrela Primeira A que caiu para que nos levantássemos A que foi banida do céu pela busca de conhecimento E como punição cursas as noites e os dias Em um ciclo interminável de aprendizado Tu eres Lúcifer A Estrela da Manhã que ascende aos céus Para que nós não soframos a queda na escuridão sem luz Sem sabedoria, sem conhecimento. Ó luz que que vem da escuridão Ilumina o meu caminho Ó Estrela que anuncia um novo dia, conduze-me Tu eres o Protetor Supremo Aquele a quem entrego meu caminho, Meu destino, minha vida E a quem busco quando quero a verdade. Não busco a verdade dos tolos Mas sim a Suprema Proteção Quando na ausência de certezas Tu sejas o Adversário, A dúvida, A questão incompleta Àquele a quem dedico a escuridão do meu coração
