THE DESOLATE (2012)
Segundo trabajo para este combo estadounidense que nos ofrece un sonido potente, denso y explosivo dentro de un estilo que combina el blackened death metal con algunas influencias melódicas. Un trabajo que para el combo de Miami supuso el mayor foco de atención de su carrera y que se abre con un tema que trae a su sonido elementos industriales, y es que si por algo destaca "The Desolate" es por la variedad de registros y estilos que nos ofrece. Un sonido que no duda en incorporar elementos actuales como algunos acercamientos a la electrónico, dejando tiempo también para otros como el heavy o el doom. Este álbum suena potente y directo, una batería muy potente, con un tono un tanto repetitivo, falto de vida, se encarga de mantener por un lado una alta velocidad y por otro una alta violencia en cuanto a sonido. Las guitarras se van solapando en diferentes capas, dejándose unas veces influir por sonido más black, otras por sonidos más death, encontrando su termino medio en la melodía de ambos estilo. Sucede otro tanto con las voces, en general se decanto por la violencia y brutalidad del death, pero también puede sonar crudas y agresivas, más próximas al black. El sonido del álbum se nota muy cuidado, y tal vez el death más USA sea el estilo que toma las riendas en las composiciones, bien es cierto también que algunos elementos ambiet y atmosféricos, logran bajar la intensidad de la propuesta, al mismo tiempo que la experimentación con algunos riffs y la inclusión de estructuras de otros estilos dentro del metal enriquecen la propuesta. En definitiva, un álbum que resulta difícil de encuadrar, que suena potente dentro del death melódico, pero que incorpora diferentes registros que alejaran a los puristas del género. (8,3).
1. Among the Twilight 04:15
The end of light. Oberon, main moon satellite.
Give me light from darkness. Make my journey
real. Shall I abandon God, and burn away my
faith, religion is the cancer left crumbling in
my wake. Divinity. Oberon. Take my gift of fire,
and overthrow your leaders. Oberon the future
burning star. Divinity. Tonight I slumber on the
sun, and slaughter break of day. I control the
cosmos brand new planets in decay.Divinity.
Oberon. Lost among the twilight, like fragments
from the past. Beyond the touch of God is
where my deadly soul will last. Divinity. Oberon.
The brilliant shade of black keeps heaven below
the setting sun.An ounce of blood a drop of
fear, witness the angry planet so near. Know me
as the edge of life with a grasp mere humans
cant obtain in an ocean of adrenaline.
2. Forgotten Ethereal Visions 02:40
Further from the prophets bullshit predictions
lies a future free from the dying trinity. Where
salvation, crucifixion, and divine resurrection,
are images of a forgotten dead-end faith. Deadend
faith. Have we forgot our ethereal visions
there is a hope highly refined, in the intangible
fields of ether. Celestial spheres echo in this
perplex of noise. Where were drunk off pain and
addicted to the somber ecstasy. I see a glimpse,
I see a chance to be a cell highly refined in life
Im flesh but here im ambient
3. It Began with Blood 03:26
It began with blood. Long before the Christian
lies on the wings of distant stars. Came the
blueprints of our blood, our bodies, and our
final destination. Every living thing on this
vessel was born from compassionate anger. We
inherit the seeds of war, the essential chemical.
Without oxygen these cells live in subsonic
darkened walls inside us all. It began with blood
long before the first page of contradiction.
From water to land to air to space then we
reach the next dimension. Every living thing on
this vessel was born from compassionate anger.
Without oxygen these cells live in subsonic
darkened walls inside us all.
4. The Killing Process 04:42
Evil rules this trigger with a malice born from
hate. Half a second to aim and crack a smile,
I wont hesitate to show you the end of the
barrel. The end of the line is the end of your
life. You can pray to God for your sould to be
saved. On second thought this time is mine, to
fill the silence with my twisted laughter. Load
the bringer of vengeance. A worthy extension
of my imagination. A joy far beyond the limits of
comprehension. Its the majesty of a bullet at 200
yards per second to the rhythm of your cracking
flesh and bones. Becoming one with the tissue of
your mind, blood freezes as you die. As you die.
Offspring of the Demons. Hatred ammunition.
A joy far beyond the limits of comprehension.
A worthy extension of my imagination. Its the
majesty of a bullet at 200 yards per second to
the rhythm of your cracking flesh and bones.
Becoming one with the tissue of your mind,
blood freezes as you die. As you die.
5. Moment of Anger 04:20
These nails in this flesh what a work of art.
Who are you to justify yourself for people who
dont care. Their hate for you runs deeper than
the oceans. One moment of anger a lifetime
free from chains. One moment of anger. Dont
comeback explore the astral plains. Find a
greater meaning than just causing misery.
Lacerate your ties to this world. Lacerate your
bonds with our race. Lacerate your meaning
and existence. Lacerate your mother and the
holy trinity. Hail the violent intuition buried in
our blood. Peace did not create this race so
fuck your psalms and your sacred words. One
moment of anger a lifetime free from chains.
One moment of anger. We burn away our faith.
Somehow through the threats of life, well finda
way. To control the stars and adjust the heavens
in our grasp. Well find a way,well find a way.
6. Numerous Lacerations 03:47 instrumental
7. Purest Evil 04:44
Into the depths of Desire. Well bathe in the
burning fire. Release the seals that bind the
gates. These flames will always come to me.
Release the purest evil. Prophesized by one.
The black eternal sun. Into oblivion. Great
Gods convene truce of power obscene come
forth my demon. Into the darkest domain. I feel
like theres three dimensions to name. Ones of
hate, ones of shame, and ones of pain. Now
release the chains that bind the gates. Forever
more hate, forever more pain, forever I hold all
this disdain. I want you to forget me. Into the
depths of Desire. Well bathe in the burning fire.
Release the seals that bind the gates. These
flames will always come to me. Partake in this
noble cause. Your insolence. I walk a path of
destruction, and never look back. Condemned
you who would stand before me. Fall to your
knees.Release the purest evil. Prophesized by
one. The black eternal sun. Into oblivion. Great
Gods convene truce of power obscene come
forth my demon. Hear the call of burning power
reborn again this day. Hear the call of burning
power. Hear the call within this hour. Reborn
again this day.
8. Underlife 05:12
Beneath this life, a world beyond. A limited
space where you hide your fears. A state of
mind where you lose control, and realize that
your fears are real. Dont deny whats in mans
nature. Forever, walk beneath shades of doubt.
The underlife awakening. As you feel your fears
beckoning. The underlife a hell of a place. Your
fears are real. Dont deny whats in mans nature.
Forever, walk beneath shades of doubt. No
religious deities. Just hatred and uncertainty
of this land inside your fears. Lock terror away.
Like a wild animal. Soon the day will come,
when the beast sets itself free.
9. Withering Dieties 05:06
This is the hour, for urgent faith in Gods.
Embrace the young the times are desperate
now. You said you hate your God. Now you
pray for your lives. Those withering deities, that
come from heaven and hell. To find some peace
within, the beast within me. You said fuck faith
in God now your choking on the rosary beads.
The deadliest shade of black. Cloaks the earth
with an iceage blast. Exhausted, from all the
drugs. Bring your children God-damned in
chains. As you make them bear and carry your
shame. Beneath the final moments. When were
just about ready to die. Your a piece of shit
human being youve earned the crown of thorns.
You said fuck faith in God now your choking on
the rosary beads. Too late to call Mars our new
home. We all had the right idea, looking up at
the skies for salvation, just couldnt see past our
Gods. The separation of atoms. Our childrens
tears turn to vapor. Dead and buried with the
hypocrisy. Under the moons gravity. Destined
for failure. Theres something in the atmosphere
we breathe, that brings us so close to failure.
Give yourself to the end this is the end of the
line. Abolish demons and saints in a last breath
of air. The second plane awaits. Gather your soul
and leave this earth behind.
