Этот первый полноразмерный альбом наших румынских братьев начинается с среднетемпового блэкового интро с классным заглавным риффом. Интро сразу задает нужную атмосферу - сырых, мрачных подземелий и трансильванских лесов.
Та же атмосфера выдерживается на протяжении всего диска, но уже со второй песни (единственной, исполненной на родном языке группы - румынском) начинается типичная быстрая долбежка, правда частенько перемежающаяся неплохими риффами, вызывающими в памяти лучшие времена Immortal. Хотя это только риффы - тут нет никакого намека на «grim, winter...» и прочих атрибутов Севера от их норвежских коллег - только грязь, мрак и сатанизм.
Как всякие порядочные люди, Vokodlok (что, как несложно догадаться, значит с румынского – “Вервульф”) в середине альбома дают отдохнуть слушателю красивой и мрачной инструменталкой «Smile in the Face of Death», а после до конца альбома обрушивают на него все тоже мясо с неплохими риффами. Отдельно стоит отметить здешнего вокалиста - очень и очень неплохой скриминг, редко такой наблюдаю.
Запись сведена в их собственной студии “Beauty of Pain Productions” и, в общем, довольно неплоха, разве что перкуссия немного задвинута на задний план. Вообще, альбом напоминает старые времена Immortal и Darkthrone; он ровный и немного однообразный, что, впрочем, не мешает мне выделить несколько неплохих песен. Это заглавное интро, «Blestem» (тоже классный рифф), «Decay» и «Infinity Path of Reality».
В общем, довольно неплохой образец raw-блэка, вполне «слушабелен». Впрочем, тот, кто пройдет мимо него, ничего не потеряет.

Ce cu sange cald
Se rasfata sub clar de luna.
O victima plapanda
A carui suflare a incetat
Odata ce coltii bestiei
Carnea frageda i-a despicat.
Rau al lunii
Rau al noptii
Rau al blestemelor
Necurat si plin de amaraciune
Doar focul te imblanzeste,
Samanta ta ce locuieste
Ingropata in puterea timpului
Si leac nu-si gaseste,
Doar sufletul inraieste
Milostenia o goneste.
Bantuind prin padure
Spirite ratacite
De blesteme unite,
Vor chinui in noapte
Pe toate cele vii.
Preamarite tie
Mare intuneric.
Rau al noptii
Rau al lunii
Ce de secole intregi
Veghezi taramul mortii
Aerul ingreunand
Lumina alungand.
3. Silent Disturbance
The story begins,
In a legendary land,
From mountains from the sea,
In a cold winter day
When wind whispers, silently.
The birds are afraid
Of what they see
Of what will be.
No one knows,
The horror, hidden,
An eye of the beholder
Watching in the gloomy sky
No one knows,
The story of hidden evil,
Prophets are dead
Saints are forgotten.
Flashing look of the devourer
Hungry for meat
Of pure angels,
The sea in blood red,
Mountains are screaming
From the skirmish resulted.
An angel crucified
Above the clouds
Splide wide open
With guts falls.
Blinded by darkness
Seeking light in vein
Helpless couldn't move
His wings are in flames.
Scavenger demon
Eat the soulless carcass.
Mournful demon laugh
The End is here:
A fireball in the water
The trast of crushed skulls,
Living creature's departure,
No one knows the fate of mankind:
4. Conjurer of Suffocation
Banished from my tomb,
From the silent darkness,
I came on dirt,
To make the innocent cry!
My scream is a howl
Of mournful hatred!
Mangy grin - savage torment.
When the petrified moon
Arise on the nightly sky,
Like the reaper - starring eyes,
Within them - pits of hell,
Mirror - reflecting temptation.
Haunted by past lives,
I commit murder without sorry,
Stick the claws and teeth,
In the throat of victims,
I feel they're agony roaring.
How nice the look
Drowned in a blood puddle.
Disappearing in the shadows,
I care the curse of immortality,
Trapped in a half-wolf body.
Instigating and malicious.
5. Decay
Decay is moment of pray,
Decay is moment of pain,
Decay in time to die,
Decay is god's final day,
The fall of god, the fall of times, the fall in agony.
Materialized in flesh and has no remorse,
A face so good, behind diabolical smile.
He's the sin in body of serpent
Spitting on the cross
Desecrate the goodness.
Proud he's the leader of men
That led to Christ's death
Prayers of hatred invade the head
When howling wolves
Acclaim his arrival.
Prince of doom
Bringer of damnation
Breathless bodies
Falling beneath your touch.
Perverted creatures of hell
Dethroned the heaven's purity.
Baptized all unholy souls with blood
From open wound in the skies.
This is the fall of God, the fall of times
This is the fall of God and rotted ideals.
Raise armies from below, invocate
The horny beings of death
With wings that cover the light of day.
In the endless dawn of victory
Show again that strength is one.
Love and mercy is no worth
Only blood from Christian throat,
Armageddon is unleashed
Under the sign of tormenting.
6. A Smile in the Face of Death
7. Crawling in Red Ashes
Revolution, evolution
All the slime,
On the cross you will die,
To keep the true spirit alive,
In sorrow and hatred,
Putrefaction in the sky
In the fire you will die.
Bring the pagan cycle
To eternal sparks
Degradation of the light
Keep ancient hail alive
Murder the holy swine
Torture with nails
Envenomed with pains.
Rape sisters of mercy
Their songs in womb to die
Feel the true warrior alive
Maniac with burning desire
Rages like unholy fire
Ashes of the enemy
Fly through oblivion
And suffocate the bastards
Who made prostitution of mind
In another time.
8. Tormenting Spirit
My seed swear vengeance
Written with blood from carved flesh
Making rage and evilness
To destroy all merciful kind.
Like a bloody revelation
In a most desirable dream
Soon becoming real (throw away the doubts)
We see the true end
Of Christian mass dementia.
Embraced by unholy strength
The Trinity is broken forever
Resurrection of lust and pride.
The era of infinite wrath
Scum is defeated forever,
Flag of hate, cutting the wind
Pagan touch, venomous presence
Cold spirit, heart of serpent
Slaughter sans mercy (the soft minds)
Bloodbath or new beginning.
Our never ending flame
Bound in chains, free at last
A bow we made and kiss
The healing hand of death
Old order come back, stronger than ever.
9. Infinite Path of Unreality
Traveling alone in this
Cosmic and mystic fog
Feeling a strange presence
In front me all darkness.
Master of the universe
I follow your paths
Show me the sense
The meaning of eternal life.
Diabolic creatures,
Floating in shape of shadows,
Leading me to the secret
That has always been there
Beyond mind perception
Inside, deep within, stolen
Only darkness, surrounded me
Only the stars are shining.
A splendid view over the Earth
But new dimensions open
To touch his cold realm
To know the pure essence,
There where only immortals
Feed with knowledge
Somewhere out from this world
In the crimson land.
10. Names on the Pyre
Condemned to burn
On the funeral pyre
No room for trail
Murder, murder, only thing to know.
Mortal sins to follow
Deadly grow to hear
The Armageddon's call
The joy of redemption
Preachers of the holiness
Purest sorrow bringers.
Names, names, to hate
Persons to vanish
For the sake of goodness.
Old believes forgotten
In the name of God and Jesus.
Death row, no protection
Sentenced to die,
In the mystic fire,
Wearing a pathetic mask,
No one to know, the anger,
Chained to a life of misery
In the most superstitious circle,
Jury of disgrace.
