"Новый опус греческих дьяволиц! 10 превосходных композицый в окружении жесткого блэк-металла. Поэтические мелодии, смешанные со зловещей агрессией! Группа нашла себя, нашла свой звук!!!"
CD-Maximum
Вопреки расхожему мнению о том, что девушкам в блэке делать нечего, разве что подвывать на бэк-вокале или нажимать на клавиши синтезаторов в Греции существует команда полностью состоящая из девушек. Ну, если точнее, то почти полностью, в буклете указан некий Ivar на драмсах, и два приглашенных музыканта Ираклиас из Swan Christy на синтезаторе и Спирос из Septic Flesh на guest-вокале. Три белокурые гречанки с внешностью фотомоделей играют мелодичный средне темповый блэк, который временами тяготеет к симфонизму (благодаря усилиям упомянутого Ираклиса). В целом участницам Astarte удалось сочинить очень интересные мелодии, и, если мне не мерещится, временами они сходят за народные греческие. Вокал тоже что надо, настоящий блэкушный, даже без помощи Спироса, тут сами Иммортал позавидуют. Этому альбому в пору тягаться с большинством творений мужских коллективов, многие из которых он делает по всем статьям. |

Hold the arrows of desire
Reign unfold!
Takes me to the chariot of fire
Find in the night
The deep pulsation of mother earth
2. Inflamed Paradox
Aquatic reflections written by lake's waters
Over the mountain
The sky immerses itself in the liquid shapes
The elements of lake
Awake the beasts of mind
Water shapes the heartbeats
Of the shadow-Lady
Years are bridges of life and death
They carry the curse of the lady
Eyes that rest inside liquid flames
A fragile black eternity will
Rotate inside her madness
Tears spread like rain to wake the calm solid face
Her bright dark hair uplifted from her head
Up to the horizon of the zenith height
Rich with the spoils of time
She rose like ghost to the unwanted passengers
Drifted as doubtful illusion, scary dead spirit
Might prove her grief and rage of her pain
Large fearfully marks of unsettled eye
Shifting all around the lake of doom
A lady comes and goes
Moves, as she was not in pain
Her shadowy silken presence
Is weeping to the surrounding woods
Sights of blazing memories
Memories made of faith
Smokes of pain and sorrow
But the flame has gone through the time
3. Oblivious Darkness
Surface of permanent street forms
Lost moments get impaled my presence fades away
Oblivious surface obscures my eyes
Strong with the desire of hate
As reality and vision united
Communion enlarge my darkness
With multitude of light
The still uncolored circle of seven senses
The visionary wheel of drifting desired shadows
Affections of remained rites
Filled by perfumes of past destination
A distant chaos far beyond
From what our eyes can see
The superhuman side within
A mixed movement of a demolished world
Unlocked narration of key elements
Creates the wall of past and future passing
Let's all wounds be now against our bodies
Release fantasy before the eyes
Runs sudden to the depth of subconscious
Decentness sun of night releases my fate
Half wayside of life and emptiness
Upland in distant night of galaxies
Glass awake the symbol of passage
Reflection demands the quest of existence
Kept upon illusions of fancy gateway
The sound of silence pours my body
Underground pyramid of blood
Creations and destructions of century bone
4. Deep Down The Cosmos
Gaze around, fearful sepulchral shadows
Standing into the earthy depths
Mixture of things without size and color
Images passed along in the most marvelous dark
Copies of the same sand thrust, to be the only creep
Vast wilderness of undiscovered creatures
Present the underworld twice in my eyes
Dimension out of man's site
Out of light, out of shadows
Reality is down beyond seasons and process
Corruptions and forms from objects and life
Excels the life of micro cosmos
The unseen communities within every existence
The inside of the intrinsic life
Nothing beyond underworld's essence
Shall issue to shine their darkness
For their fate lies upon abhorrence
Weak to the sunshine
Strong to resist beneath the blanket of ground
Away they stand of mortal pain
Creatures live along with their shape
Ignorantly are passing through their limits
And life is secure from any pain
Naked spirits all around
Growing into the forever lost dark vale
Settled to behave madly
Hosted to serve the unknown
Gathered to the empty part of earth
To the helliest region of Varathron
5. Astarte
She lies above the earth's sphere
Nothing against her powers
Mother of universe
Standing through the ages carrying the spots of time
The absolute owner of balance, beauty and war
Her teutonic sons built her states
Beyond the approaches of light and darkness
Serpent inside her dreams appeared with blood-dripping skin
Her legs are carrying the honors of her past
Her hands hole the four pagan rivers
Portraits of the majesty of war
Surrounded by the stonewalls of fertility
Lion crowed standing upon her towers
Her image surpasses the goddess's beauty
None can avoid her presence
None can win her crown
Feel the ecstasy of her astonished eyes
Feed her last with the juice of eternal beauty
Goddess of eternity, her passion to create
There, alone in the center of universe
Formed of the progression of sphere
Have written the secrets of reproduction
She awakes the winds under her dominions
Furious circles round her knowledge
6. Incarnate Legend Of Mummy Queen
To every thing there is a reason
To all destruction there is an answer
In the past lands of underneath wounds
A curse was meant to awake
It was planed to step upon the culture of enigma
Egyptian heritage rise in the surface of nowadays
A land dressed in its divine tranquility
Now stigmatized by man's ideology
Access to the dust f turning weeps
There the mummy queen rests her glory
A forgotten unharmed flesh made by blood
Purificated in the pulse of icy ages
Her ice grave has melted the freshness
A heart respirator's between past and future
The black gates have now open
Man's greed opens the curse of queen
Desecration of her grave
Coppery breath frizzes the dry corridor
Passing from delirium to the perfectly
Revenge of holly silence
Holly face, caught in a diamond of unaccustomed light
She looked twice before raise up from her frozen bed
The features in their private dark
Are formed sharpness becomes visible
The mummy cloths expose an ancient beast
Kill for the human desecration of my body
Doomed from the wrath of holly sarcophagus
Lustrate comes as the deaths raised
Present to take my pride
And then disappear for eternal rest
7. In Velvet Slumber
Flow of time turn into emptiness
Ends to the place that the earth appears
He, who reads the shadows
Flows to oblivion like the dust on the air
As the eyes reflects the eternal chaos
The man fades out his pestilence
Corpses are poisoned in the dust
And souls, shadow the unreachable endless
He stands upon the faces that dies forever
Undefeated wound that cut the tree of life
I am traveling through snakes
Through corpses, through time!
Dark passage to the abyss of my mind!
My day-night, my heaven-hell
The land of cry, the soul of sinner
Around my everything a transparent end
A crystallized soul broken, my self
Death unharmed for the body
Aim flow to the inward of sins
And this is just the beginning
The augment guidance of gnostic lust
Placed forever in my pagan fever
No proof walks upon the earth's existence
Helpless in front universe's dominion
A velvet slumber sick fate upon me
Death is so sweet, it cease all annoy
Life is a lake that drowns all pain
War makes everything happen
It is not the infinities that can be seen
Future will be left behind our unlived tomorrow
Sustained to the real present
Which is conquered by time
Disgraced leftovers from centuries
Abandoned and turned into dust
8. Sickness
[Instrumental]
9. Quod Superius Sicut Inferius
Before him, a red light
Flames from fire set in benighted wildness
Natural resemblance made from the meeting
Devoted to the crowed mighty one
Go under the dark swales of earth
To the mournful chambers of sad hell
Cross the un-harvested sea of pulsing with lights
Under our roots
Years were banished
From the deep continent
Our home on Acheron's shore
Gaze the black Tartaros
Out of our roots
Our bodies gaze the stars
How long the beauty last!
Till soul fall down
The "rock" of the life-chain
Branches are the heavens
Around our limbs
We embrace the unchain universe
10. Crossing The Wounded Mirror Of Death
(Lady's strong death made a dark sorrow
Breaking piece by piece her man's existence
And he came up helpless to open her silent eyes
Meaningless fight with death's doors
Where his beloved passed to the unrest eternity
He lost her life and she lost his!
A conclusion of a life story will open
A new book written by blood)
None can call back to him the woman
To enlarge the freedom of his pain
He commits suicide
For the trip of their deadly freedom
Devoted himself to a sleep
Of backward eternity
At once a voice sought
Pains from hell fires
Time erase the wheel of light
abandoned in a new zero hour
Die without awakening
Hostile to the freedom of his possession
Mind and dust had left
The order of chaos made him rest
[Man:]
The hours sharpen their blades
In my eyes, I am lost
Unreachable as I touch your shape
Touching you with my eyes
Watching you with my hands
I can never meet
I will find you, never fear
Out of breath, out of body
To trap us and give us birth
Turn back, is a way not found
I follow and shake within the very depth
Of my most imperfect being
Unconscious in front of Gods punishment
To the indelible scriptures of my testament
The reveal of my sin leads me towards
To a space with no beginning
[Man:]
Doomed insanity, trapped in my abyss
Among the same punishment
I will wander forever free
Slayer of Gods and sinner of love
I will never reach you!!
