DIVARISE (2014)

Primer larga duración para la banda armenia integrada solo por mujeres, cuyo sonido se nutre de la influencia del black sinfónico escandinavo de los años noventa en clara referencia a Dimmu Borgir, impregnado de algo de paganismo y de historia de Armenia, el álbum cumple su cometido. "Divarise" arranca de manera potente con un tema como "Shadows" en donde se dan cita los elementos distintivos del black metal de la banda que no son otros que una buena y contundente base rítmica acompañada de buenos riffs de guitarra un tanto ocultos en la mezcla, voces agresivas y violentas a las que se le añadido algunos elementos sinfónicos con presencia  de un teclado que crea una atmósfera más cargada y majestuosa. Esta fórmula inicial en su música se ve explotada en los demás temas, arrojando un resultado contundente y correcto pero que se va desgastando a medida que caen lo temas no siendo impedimento para que el oyente acabe por disfrutar de un buen álbum de black sinfónico. (7,9).

1. Shadows 05:31

  Humans' eyes have filled with apathy 

Their dead hearts are lost for the light 

Shadows have conquered them 

And shackled the wings of freedom 

My soul releases howls of madness, 

In search for the light it's only lies I find 

My eyes are turned blind or evil in my mind 

The world is like a translucent serpent, 

Turned into shadow, 

And reigns over us 

And fetters the wings of freedom 

My blinded soul is enshrouded in mists, 

The pain has worn down, and the dreams have waned 

Veiled in the shadows 

I became a shadow 

Infinite space 

Hollow and cold 

Infinite space 

I feel so cold, an endless void, 

An endless void… 

My wounds will be mended in black 

My rigid soul will silently scream 

Only through the dark the light may be born 

The piercing lights will cast shadows 

Shadows that lurk deep within us 

Shadows, hidden from us 

Shadows that lurk deep within us 

Shadows, hidden from us 

Shadows within our ashen eyes 

Create an illusion of truth 

A feral fight – goes on and on 

We will go down – but never yield 

We’ll scream in pain – but not become shadows 

Never we’ll become shadows

2. Blindness 05:09

The vision of the world has failed And blinded is the soul Dreadful heartbeat cold and stubborn From within the darkness sounds The world forswore forevermore The admonishments of conscience And th’ innervating rays of light Perished in their livid hearts But yet, the threach’rous veil of frost Pierced not unto your faithful soul And the embracing wings of fog Did not overcloud your sight The blindness creeps into the dens Of deluded frozen souls Mob craves blood with evil gorged And for more victims seeks You witness now the horror of death And the bewilderment of havoc Humanity with sunken hearts In darkness roaming aimlessly Blood boils within your rebel heart Which throbs under your heaving breast It does not yield to the fierce frost Its armored shell is still intact In this uneven, gruesome war Of bloodlust spurting pestilence You shall fight war against the odds Unsparingly, with no remorse Downhearted, pitiful mankind With blinded eyes and sunken hearts Rebel against them and renounce The devouring blinding gloom  

3. Call of the Fire 04:36

Voice is calling, rising from the depth Call of the fire from the endless dark A burning dream let it soar above In the chaos of life burning eyes Runing over drunk fire set ablaze Dying with death’s immortality over and over And I flow through your own heavenly eyes Fire calls me into the heights Fire calls me into the heights Fire, melt down this prison of ice Desperate are our eyes veiled in dusk And ghostly sky will be dispelled And eyes will burn from the sun Call of the fire shall ever resound Call of the fire shall save all of us Fire pours down from the sky And dissolves within my soul Light emits from eons past Onto my enshrouded eyes Fire calls me into the heights Fire calls me into the heights Lo and behold Call of the fire born from the Sun  

4. Alien 06:41

 The sands of time are sweeping over 

The castle of solitude, 

As the present emerges 

From the tale of voiceless life 

A new path is cloven through 

The damp walls of yestereve 

As a harbinger with tidings 

Of another hollow dawn. 

You’re a silent, sullen soul 

A lonesome grave amid the dark 

An endless grief, with no relief 

Bleak existence’s dim abode 

The castle of solitude 

Columns, rooted in the rocks 

Impenetrable dungeon 

Prison of a thousand souls 

You’re a choked shriek of silence 

Fading ‘mid a funeral dirge 

You’re a faded blaze of sublimes 

A daemon soaring high 

The sands of time are swept all over 

The castle of your solitude 

As the present emerges 

From the tale of voiceless life 

You will be an Alien to all of them 

You’ll bear the name – DivahaR 

You will be an Alien and till the end 

You’ll walk the path of DivahaR

5. Ravenstone 05:01

Spurting light from heart of dimness You have burnt your soul like phoenix To enlighten the shadowed mob Never worth of might and glory Endless crowds enslaved by nullity Age’s stream depressed souls Won’t be ignited by your inner blaze You plunged yourself into abysmal maw You won’t revive like phoenix did You’ve become a Ravenstone You sorely weep with grief Clad in the robe of twilights Oblivion becomes your master Your thoughts are your own executioners Bridgeways leading to demise Bend under passenger’s crowds Barren souls that have lost their essence In the smoking ashes of own future No luminary vivid in their eyes No path of atonement they have You’ve become a Ravenstone You sorely weep with grief Clad in the robe of twilights Oblivion becomes your master Your thoughts are your own executioners Anointed with unquenchable blaze The pillars, as miraculous tales Perished into the maw of eternal darkness 

6. Into the Heights 05:18

 One day my heart shall heavy fires rain 

And in my veins relentless flames shall burst, 

No longer shall my blood under my skin 

With leaden languor tediously flow 

Soar up high 

O my soul 

Soar up high 

Fly aloft 

Soar up high 

O my soul 

Into the heights 

Far above 

One day my heart shall set ablaze again, 

Rekindle ashes which within it rest 

Rejuvenation’s spirit shall bestow 

The vigor of a new dawn on my soul 

Soar up high 

O my soul 

Soar up high 

Fly aloft 

Soar up high 

O my soul 

Into the heights 

Far above 

I shall take the lifted paths and I shall follow 

The glowing trails of smoldering ancient Sun 

I shall regain the dreams so long-forgotten, 

And see the birth of new resplendent dawn 

Soar up high 

O my soul 

Soar up high 

Fly aloft 

Soar up high 

O my soul 

Into the heights 

Far above

7. Areakan 05:10

 The might of my proud ancestors 

Bestowed upon me by the Gods 

The glorious blood within my veins 

Bred from the living seeds of Ar 

I am the Armen, Eagle-born 

The heir of the victorious Hayk 

The son of Ar, the lion-born 

Armenia’s unconquered core 

I am one with your timelessness 

My Highland Realm of Ever-Sun 

My native soil, my motherland 

My age-worn land of Armenia 

My mighty nation born of sun 

The Bearer of the cosmic Truth 

Refulgent with the righteous flame 

The Dragon-Slayer’s glorious breed 

Զի մենք, հանուն Սերին, Սերմին, քո հին ցեղիդ 

Մարմարեն կույս, 

Մենք, զավակներդ օգոստափառ, պիտի կերտենք 

Նո՛ր Արշալույս: 

Ye sons of Ar, unwavering against the evil 

Spirit of fire, war-hardened warrior of flame 

Ye sons of Ar, unwavering against the evil 

Spirit of fire, war-hardened warrior of flame 

Arise and crush the vicious hordes of enemies 

Arise and lead the Fatherland onto ascent, 

... onto ascent

8. Insane Silence 06:28

Hearts that are frozen forever to silence are condemned The silence into chaos transforms It swirls in the air and in madness roils Furious shrieks – the silence, it wails, Overcast nightly skies – the silence crumbles… How ruthless is the voice of pain which never calms How lifeless is the light of silence so heliacal Humankind entangled in a web of lies We are all entangled in a dark, silent maze Insane silence Shall derange And enslave The humankind Insane silence Shall enslave The unwashed mob Forevermore… How ruthless is the voice of pain which never calms How lifeless is the light of silence so heliacal Humankind entangled in a web of lies We are all entangled in a dark, silent maze Mankind’s guilty conscience is still silent…
