TOBA (2024)

El primer álbum de los chilenos llega después de unos cuantos años en lo cuales se han dedicado a editar lanzamientos menores, como manda la tradición dentro del metal extremo, hasta eclosionar en los ocho temas que componen este "Toba", inspirado en la erupción volcánica de hace 70000 años. Desde el comienzo Mayhemic se nutre de influencias clásicas dentro del metal extremo, sabiendo combinar a la perfección un thrash de corte ochentero en la linea de bandas como Sodom o Desaster, pero en donde también se deja atisbar sonidos que a la larga derivaron en black metal. Con un ritmo implacable desde el inicio, repleto de blast beat directos que logan sumergirnos en un mundo de oscuridad y podredumbre, logrando sonar orgánico eso si, sobre todo con un sonido de guitarra también implacable, pero que muchas veces dejan entrever sus aristas en forma de riffs llenos de crudeza que son capaces en determinadas secciones de aportar un cierto tono melódico. Las voces se muestran oscuras y crudas, perfectamente encuadradas dentro de esos sonidos thrash primitivos, sin olvidarnos por supuesto de una producción equilibrada entre las rugosidad más primitiva y un aporte más actual. Sin lugar a dudas un álbum sin ningún tipo de fisuras, que arremete con un black/trhash clásico, trasladándonos a los ochenta, con un sonido implacable que no es obstáculo para que algún corte más melódico asome en la mezcla. (7,7).

1. Kollarbone Crushed Neanderthal 05:48

On the still cold eve of a global hecatomb Precipitating the twilight of the eternal paleolithic An unsuspecting crowd, as with any other herd of goats The hunt will begin at the command of the entrails Whip the marrow with the club Let's see if he can stand Crush his skull with a rock Try to be seen by his peers Shoot with your sling to blind Better suffer before the fall Win this evolution war Use violence, it will be with you forever Feet as small as those of men Footprints as big as those of majestic Mammoths, woolly rhinoceros or megatheriums A legacy crushed by the supreme human force Whip the marrow with the club Let's see if he can stand Crush his skull with a rock Try to be seen by his peers Shoot with your sling to blind Better suffer before the fall Win this evolution war Possessed by violence Kollarbone Crushed Neanderthal Rivalry for land and meat Survival of the strong and the wise Wild as the horrifying nature Violence, rape, cave virtues Short legs for no escaping, huge heads for striking Submissive behavior for overwhelming The viscerality of corpses disfigured by stones Insecurity and fear for die alone Whip the marrow with the club Let's see if he can stand Crush his skull with a rock Try to be seen by his peers Shoot with your sling to blind Better suffer before the fall Win this evolution war Possessed by violence Kollarbone Crushed Neanderthal  

2. Extinction & Mystery 02:29

  A legend is told of the greatest cataclysm of all time

From an age before the terrestrial giants and gods

Sudden death, unknown causes, Olympic extinctions

Gloomy mysteries, crazy theories, oneiric scenarios

Robust astral invaders of unbreathable cloaks of nickel

Extinction, distant traveler… Oh, mighty death!

Mysteries from before time… Oh, mighty death!

Living mortality from above… Oh, mighty death!

Extinction & Mystery

Traces of the father of hell, powers superior to Toba

Same death sentence, as in slow supernova

Extinction, distant traveler… Oh, mighty death!

Mysteries from before time… Oh, mighty death!

Living mortality from above… Oh, mighty death!

Extinction & Mystery

A legend is told of the greatest cataclysm of all time

From an age before the terrestrial giants and gods

Sudden death, unknown causes, Olympic extinctions

Gloomy mysteries, crazy theories, oneiric scenarios

3. Valley of the Tundra 03:38

Between ancient isthmuses, beyond the forests

Odorless cemeteries deformed by the wind

Vestiges of death under the permafrost

Frozen swamps, stormy hailstones and mirages

Scared by darkness

Stalking neanderthals

We were the survivors

Of the terror of the land of… Tundra

Walking through frozen valleys aimlessly

As westerly winds and storm tracks lash the end

Scared by darkness

Stalking neanderthals

We were the survivors

Of the terror of the land of... Tundra

With the ears, nose and lips shattered by the cold

Extreme survival, dead fingers on the body

Climbing, tasting rats in the land of hunger

Scared by darkness

Stalking neanderthals

We were the survivors

Of the terror of the land of… Tundra

4. Triumph Portrait 04:54

Captured Captured through pens and brushes, in a known time death scoffers, Testified by chroniclers, The terror of the middle ages, the unknown personified a deja-vu behind the door Sweeping over Sweeping over the fields, cities and settlements Segregations under the command of elemental instinct Quarantines and collective hysteria, god's justice Guided by the winds of hell Bodies piled up, Triumph Portrait Feast of skeletons, Triumph Portrait Rotten creatures, Triumph Portrait Nightmare visions, Triumph Portrait Stains on Stains on the skin, cough, gangrene and prominent bleeding A death sentence after feeling the smell contained In the black buboes, the pestilence of an uncertain future by the raven-masked beast Bodies piled up, Triumph Portrait Feast of skeletons, Triumph Portrait Rotten creatures, Triumph Portrait Nightmare visions, Triumph Portrait A powerful plague like never seen before spreading across the continents Spread by rats and other agents still discussed, entrusted to exterminate Souls Souls in despair, tortured in agonizing but short pains Charred bodies waiting to rest next to the guilty Mothers and children, butchers and sinners praying loud all facing what is due Sweeping over Sweeping over the fields, cities and settlements Segregations under the command of elemental instinct Quarantines and collective hysteria, god's justice Guided by the winds of hell

5. Eschatological Symphony 04:19   instrumental

6. Hazardous Prowler 04:47

Dizzying non-living Going through nothingness Like a harmonious dance of forces And also meaningless Many beings and races, A single language And just like Apophis Chaos is their pleasure An announcement of despair What a beauty for the end There will be no time to receive The hazardous astral prowler And as it happened in ancient times As the legend of the Cretaceous-Paleogene tells The terror that one day scourged the world Will come for us again Hidden by sunlight, as if waiting for the moment While the great serpent waits For the battle in the duat An announcement of despair What a beauty for the end There will be no time to receive The hazardous astral prowler The wise are panicked by the uncertainty of when it will befall Defense is a double-edged sword to radioactive remains A lot of dreams crushed by a colossus from space And the survivors slowly tortured by a toxic unbreathable cloak The expected end The expected end Not only in the shadows Does the horror hide Perhaps the light will not Let them see The enemy When he is in front The final day Haunting and mysterious There is an asteroid outside With our name written on it Many beings and races Death is their language Unless there are no corpses to leave An announcement of despair What a beauty for the end There will be no time to receive The hazardous astral prowler

7. Olduvai’s Lullaby 03:51  

Make a circle around the fire, make yourself comfortable

Tonight we are going to tell

Tell you the story of an extinct civilization

Men just like you and me, they were here too

The night is cold

But it seems so beautiful

Under the light of the moon

The atmosphere becomes

It’s maximum perfection

Even with the threat of the beasts, be careful

Listen!

The ancient ones populated all the places long before us

The sea, the land and the air

Controlled the designs of nature and became gods

Erected straight mountains

And flew on strange birds

Turn your gaze to the stars

And to the moon, how it shines tonight

We’ll fly back to that pearl in the sky

As told in Olduvai

The gods continued copulating and inventing strange objects

One day, they lost control

There were wars and many diseases, nobody was satisfied

So they tried to transcend, beyond the firmament

They sent their bodies to the moon

Leaving in it a small clue

Whims that we can’t understand

A desire for immortality and protagonism

Listen!

The source of power of the gods now had begun to fade

The ancient ones was despaired

Waters diverted their paths, landscapes lost their sharpness

Civilization stopped growing

They was on decay

Turn your gaze to the stars

And to the moon, how it shines tonight

We’ll fly back to that pearl in the sky

As told in Olduvai

Life continued and the gods left their hiding places

They returned to live as mortals

Our tribe is the granddaughter of the one who said:

One small step for man, one giant leap for “mankind”

Turn your gaze to the stars

And to the moon, how it shines tonight

We’ll fly back to that pearl in the sky

As told in Olduvai

Turn your gaze to the stars

And to the moon, how it shines tonight

We’ll fly back to that pearl in the sky

As told in Olduvai

8. Toba 06:49

A prosperous land of new dwellers

Living a promising heyday

Near the cradle of the humans

A premature Armageddon rises

Largest vomit known from the bowels

Of the earth that men witnessed

The most colossal force in our world

Would crush us, even today

Mother Chaos!

Father Dust!

Appearing instantly and leaving in it’s place the chasm

Strips the airs of the noblest powers

Poisons the seas, cauterizes the soils

Shake the world, torture and destroy mankind

TOBA

Cries, prayers and confusion

A vision worthy of the end

Burned and pulverized bodies

First victims of the volcanic blast

And for the unfortunate carriers of life

Unbreathable agony awaits

Full of ashes, mystery and darkness

Slow, inescapable and horrendous death

Mother Chaos!

Father Dust!

Appearing instantly and leaving in it’s place the chasm

Strips the airs of the noblest powers

Poisons the seas, cauterizes the soils

Shake the world, torture and destroy mankind

TOBA

Overshadowed by cold torment

Passing into the embers of hellfire on earth

Steps deprived of the guide of sunlight

Going through an apocalyptic volcanic winter

Depressing scenarios, like interstellar nightmare

Reminiscences of wandering worlds obliterated by time

Outbreak you, Toba

Any hope of civilization has gone

Beastly crater, wandering souls

In a desert of fire and magma that will endure

Outbreak you, Toba

Any hope of civilization has gone

Beastly crater, wandering souls

In a desert of fire and magma that will endure

A chaotic land of victims

Dying in collective decay

Near the cradle of the humans

A premature Armageddon rises

Cries, prayers and confusion

A vision worthy of the end

Far away, the few survivors

They will wait for it return

Mother Chaos!

Father Dust!

Appearing instantly and leaving in it’s place the chasm

Strips the airs of the noblest powers

Poisons the seas, cauterizes the soils

Shake the world, torture and destroy mankind

TOBA
