 Под непримечательной обложкой кроется отличный шведский Melodic Death в духе Dark Tranquillity с добавлением американского трэша аля Exodus. Работа очень атмосферная, мастерски сыгранная и отлично записанная. Вся пластинка представляет собой скоростные боевики, за исключением двух композиций. Такие вещи, как "The Confession" и "Three Of One", представляют собой чистейший Melodic Death с вкраплениями Thrash`a, в то время как в большинстве остальных номеров, например, в "Bound Of Bleed", "T.P.S." и "Dark Clousure", очень сильно пахнут трэшем, заметно влияние таких групп, как Exodus и Metallica. Ну и, конечно же, Slayer, чья главная составляющая пробралась в композиции "Everlasting Punishment" и "Purifed By Fire". А вот заглавная композиция вышла очень интересной, этакое развитие идеи знаменитой песни культовой группы Black Sabbath - "Black Sabbath", очень атмосферная композиция, нагоняющая некую меланхолию своим звучанием. Ну и не обошли стороной группу и модные влияния - в песне "Death On Floor 44" явно прослеживается тенденция последних работ In Flames. Лирика альбома представляет собой концептуальный рассказ о борьбе обычного человека с проклятием, нависшим над его семьёй. В общем, качественная, грамотная работа, с жёсткими гитарными риффами, глубоким и сочным гроулингом, качающими драмами, бласт битами, всё по стандарту. Ничего нового здесь не ищите, но если хотите послушать качественное исполнение всего лучшего в смешении стилей Thrash и Melodic Death - это то, что доктор прописал. |

To guide me through hell,
And to give me the strength I need
For I must prevail!
So send me an angel,
My shelter from heaven.
My line of sinners I must end.
May god forgive me
For what is to come.
I confess to you,
My darkest secret path
For years and years of pain
Deep despair and full of hate,
I saw no light.
Forgive me father
For I will sin.
I kill as Jesus
To save us all
Send me an angel
To guide me through hell,
And to give me the strength I need
For I must prevail!
So send me an angel,
My shelter from heaven.
My line of
Sinners I must end.
May god forgive me
Father,
I confess to you.
So hear me father,
There's nothing else to do!
Forgive me father
For I will sin.
I kill as Jesus
To save us all
Send me an angel
To guide me through hell,
And to give me the strength I need
For I must prevail!
So send me an angel,
My shelter from heaven.
My line of sinners I must end.
2. Bound To Bleed (For A Sacred Need)
The hunt is on in the early dawn.
A wicked saint in vein.
A peaceful night is soon to end.
Let's fucking kill!
Raging madness!
Now death lies ahead!
Trapped with panic!
No getting away!
Standing alone with fear.
Bound to bleed for a sinner's feast.
Standing alone with fear.
Bound to bleed for a sacred need.
A victim running for his life
Racing against death.
A knife engraving in the neck
Marked as number 8.
Raging madness!
Now death lies ahead!
Trapped with panic!
No getting away!
Standing alone with fear.
Bound to bleed for a sinner's feast.
Standing alone with fear.
Bound to bleed for a sacred need.
With the mandatory mask
Of Christ in place nothing is sin
A sudden stab coming from behind
Piercing flesh -- Ending life.
Standing alone with fear.
Bound to bleed for a sinner's feast.
Standing alone with fear.
Bound to bleed for a sacred need.

7. Slaughtertown Report
(..in this peaceful town. It appears like last night's killings could be
the work of a serial killer on the loose. And yet another horrible
murder occurred earlier today. Officials say that the police are still
investigating most of the crime scenes, but have no main suspects at
this point. Yesterday the resident of Portertown went to sleep like any
other night, but woke up today in what appears to be "Slaughtertown".
People in this town are scared and mostly chocked by all...)
(Freaks...They know nothing. And even if they did, they wouldn't understand)
8. Three Of One
Oblivious in high spirits like any other day.
Masked man waiting at the doorstep
For three of one to slay.
Welcome home,
Welcome back.
Welcome to your brutal end.
A violent force sweeps over them.
In a second all turns black.
Three of one! Three of one!
One alive and three undone.
Two on the wall, third on the floor.
For they are three of one!
Three Of One!
Terrorizing slaughterhouse
When executing three of one.
Dear lord what is this madness?
Am I still alive?!
Poor bastard stuck in hell --
A fate much worse than death.
Horrified -- Terrified.
Dead bodies all around.
Confusion and nausea
Like needles to the brain.
Three of one! Three of one!
One alive and three undone.
Two on the wall, third on the floor.
For they are three of one!
Three Of One!
Terrorizing slaughterhouse
When executing three of one.
Nailed to the wall,
Ripped upside down
Strapped on the floor,
Not making a sound...
Not a sound
Three of one! Three of one!
One alive and three undone.
Two on the wall, third on the floor.
For they are three of one!
Three Of One!
Terrorizing slaughterhouse
When executing three of one.
9. Everlasting Punishment
To clean the house of those who desecrate.
Full of rage -- Empty of compassion
Killing -- Reaping
Hearing the call of voices
Screaming to kill them fucking all.
A feeling of disgust
Pounding hard while starring at the wall.
Everlasting Punishment.
Facing god and asking for his blessing
To slay as Jesus -- A masquerade of death
Killing -- Reaping
Hearing the call of voices
Screaming to kill them fucking all.
A feeling of disgust
Pounding hard while starring at the wall.
Everlasting Punishment.
Liberator -- The only chosen one
Behind the mask to cover all disgrace.

Everlasting Punishment!
Everlasting Punishment!

10. Purified By Fire
Burn you piece of shit,
You worthless spawn of Hell!
A human torch is lit to light me
The sacred Path.
One day of suffering forever rest in peace.
Death's cold hand is here, to set you free.
Strapped! Gasoline! Fire!
Leashed and paralyzed.
The countdown must go on.
Must carry on!
Burning you enter my empire.
Burning you're purified by fire.
In seconds the flames arte high
Burning red infernal.
Frantic screams of pain.
A sacrifice!
Burning you enter my empire.
Burning you're purified by fire.
Burn you piece of shit,
You worthless spawn of Hell!
A human torch is lit to light me
The sacred Path.
One day of suffering forever rest in peace.
Death's cold hand is here, to set you free.
As the flames reap the flesh blazing heat devours.
Endless pain defined. Pain Divine!
Burning you enter my empire.
Burning you're purified by fire.
Burning you enter my empire.
Burning you're purified by fire.
Burning! Burning! Burning! Burning! Burning!
11. Dark Closure
Torture -- A life in despair
Filled with hate and atrocity.
Long time ago, a vision so clear.
One by one, infecting the human race.
The masquerade is done!
The end of a holy war.
I'm no longer astray.
Forever I've been lost in pain.
But the masquerade is done by now!
I have fulfilled my call
A bloodline has come to an end.
Erased the sinners and blissful within.
All undone by heavenly sin
One by one they all disappeared.
The masquerade is done!
The end of a holy war.
I'm no longer astray.
Forever I've been lost in pain.
But the masquerade is done by now!
I have fulfilled my call
Father, I've been sinning as well
Wearing the face of Jesus to forgive myself.
Father, please let me know, have I done wrong?
Once and for all I feel whole again.
The masquerade is done!
The end of a holy war.
I'm no longer astray.
Forever I've been lost in pain.
But the masquerade is done by now!
I have fulfilled my call
The masquerade is done!
The end of a holy war.
I'm no longer astray.
Forever I've been lost in pain.
But the masquerade is done by now!
I have fulfilled my call
Father, I have finally triumphed over evil
By erasing a bloodline infected by it.
My own bloodline...
One by one I watched them die!
Seeing their eyes filled with fear
And wonder while slowly leaving
This life as we know it.
How can you be sure the bloodline is evil?
Sounds like your own sick delusion...
Like a twisted excuse for murder.
And if you are going to end the bloodline,
What about yourself then?
Well...
