В свое время бюджет этого альбома составил всего одну тысячу долларов США, что и стало причиной совершенно ужасающего саунда. Из-за кашеобразного гитарного звука потерялась часть мелодий. Но даже вышеупомянутое безобразие не смогло заглушить замечательный вокал бразильца Джона Сайрииса и свести на нет композиторские способности Хуана Гарсии. Именно поэтому альбом "Skeptic Apocalypse", посвященный такой животрепещущей теме, как борьба с инопланетными захватчиками, стал классикой стиля спид-трэш. Бесспорно, самая удачная композиция - подозрительно напоминающая антраксовскую "Deathrider", открывающая альбом "Agents of Steel". Остальные композиции выполнены в схожей манере: быстрые гитары, высокий пронзительный вокал. "144,000 Gone"- следующая удача релиза. Эту песню отличает интересный риффинг дуэта гитаристов и практически полное отсутствие вокала, который заменяет загадочное бормотание. Пусть немного сырая, но очень интересная концептуальная работа калифорнийских трэшеров. |

Итак, перед нами яркий пример стиля speed metal без примеси трэша. Сейчас так уже никто не играет, поэтому объясню: стиль Agent Steel образца 1985 года - это предельно жестко и быстро, но не в ущерб мелодии, сыгранный пауэр. В те далекие времена лос-анджелесские металлисты позиционировались на одном уровне с Anthrax и Over Kill. Фирменный знак группы - вокал Джона Сирииса, высокий и пронзительный. Не зря Джона тогда признали вокалистом года. Что же касается музыки, то выделяются открывающая альбом "Agents Of Steel" - своего рода гимн стиля, и нестандартная, с очень запоминающимся риффингом "144.000 Gone". Остальные композиции крепкого среднего уровня: не хиты, как у Anthrax в "Among The Living" и Over Kill в "Taking Over", но остальным конкурентам типа Laaz Rockit , Flotsam & Jetsam и Metal Church не проигрывающие. Классика жанра. |

They're all perfectly alive and well.
It is only area to which the Council can communicate with this planet.
Agents of Steel
Back in the days we first sighted
Their shields gleaming bright in the sky
The light that was brighter than fire
Forced cowards to run out of spite
Masters of metal, agents of steel
Masters of metal, agents of steel
Masters of metal, agents of steel
Masters of metal, agents of steel...
Feel the day getting closer
They'll return for the masses to see
I shed a tear when they left us
My heart now bleeds for their coming...
Masters of metal, agents of steel
Masters of metal, agents of steel
Masters of metal, agents of steel
Masters of metal, agents of steel...
The signs prepare for their coming
Now you know that it's clear
You know that we'll be returning
Once more, but not for too long
Masters of metal, agents of steel
Masters of metal, agents of steel
Masters of metal, agents of steel
Masters of metal, agents of steel...
Taken by Force
Bonded in leather
Pumping blood through my veins
Sweet virgins sacrificed
Screaming with pain
Drifting through night air
Life's so insane
Dark scattered figures
Shooting steel thru my brains!
Taken by force, showing no mercy
Taken by force, lay your life on the line
Taken by force, your life's so dirty
Taken by force, save your soul while there's time
Living a nightlife
Life's living low
Low hearted beasts
Leaving tracks in the snow
Numbers are searching
Searching the light
Just to be crushed
In the dark of the night
Taken by force, showing no mercy
Taken by force, lay your life on the line
Taken by force, your life's so dirty
Taken by force, save your soul while there's time
Shattered and hopeless
You've poisoned your mind
Cast of your worries
You'll leave'em behind
Drowning in sorrows
Tomorrow's not seen
Never know where you're going
Or cared where you've been...
Taken by force, showing no mercy
Taken by force, lay your life on the line
Taken by force, your life's so dirty
Taken by force, save your soul while there's time
Evil Eye/Evil Minds
The night sheads it's cold mist on luminous streets
The revenge that you seek will all come back to you
Do you know what you've done?
No justice was won
Exaulted will be who were trampled upon
There will come a time when judgement is near
The black cloud above you is clear
Love for your enemies, forgiveness you must
Instead you want locusts and plagues
A better world we can build for us all
The simple factor is life
Search for the answer it's inside of you
Your heart should anchor the rest
Evil eye...
Evil minds!
Now Armageddon is bringing you down to you knees
Fighting the ways of the truth there's no way to win
Hypocrisy festers in those who believe but decieved
What you do unto others, others will do unto you
Accepting my paybacks how long will it take
To show my intention was real
This world that we walk in is full os mistreaters
Who strip your heart, mind and soul
Your lust for revenge selfishness right
You're doing it all of spite
The things that are taken without justfull reasons
Will someday come back to me
Evil eye...
Your lust for revenge selfishness right
You're doing it all out of apite
The things that are taken without justfull reasons
Will someday come back to me
Evil eye...
Evil minds!
Bleed for the Godz
Mid-day heat is low
Sun torches victims skin
Priests rise to command
Blood spills the altar stairs
Sacrifice to their gods
Sun sets the slaves all die
The hearts of humans left to dry
Burnt offerings to the sky
Temples built for priests with high
Messages and desperate dries
A message from a higher place
Condemning all your human race
Cowards run the rest await
Pious-virgin congragate
Offered to their godz from space
Watching on their human race
Looking into the darkness
From towers awaiting their signs
With fire they draw on our mountains
Their calendar tells us it's time
Bleed for the godz
Suddenly lightning about us
Outside a vanishing light
Looking around for the traitors
The seeds that will be left behind
Sacrifice to their godz
Sun sets the slaves all die
The hearts of humans left to dry
Burnt offerings to the sky
Looking into the darkness
From towers awaiting their signs
With fire they draw on our mountains
Their calendar tells us it's time
Bleed for the godz
Looking into the darkness
From towers awaiting their signs
With fire they draw on our mountains
Their calendar tells us it's time
Bleed for the godz
Bleed for the godz
Children of the Sun
In the mist of a windswept plain
We carried the gifts that our priests had restrained
Chanting awaiting the gods of the sun
We're children of sorrow captors of none
A hole in the sky
And a tear in the eye
Of the god of the gate of the sun
From far away lands we escaped all the plans
Of deserters who are left to decay
The gifts we obtain are placed in the hands
Of abductors to lift us away
They wept for our race
For the seed was misplaced
Their science was left to decree
Children of the sun the gate was etched in stone...
Children of the sun the time is her for them to come...
Children of the sun seeking the enlighted ones...
Children of the sun be prepared don't run...
They're watching from their sensors above
They lifted us up and they taught us to grow
Ignorance runs from destruction in time
From distant signs now Armageddon's alligned
A hole in the sky
And a tear in the eye
Of the god of the gate of the sun
Now their mark shows the white from the black
Soon the seed is in my mind
So when the comets they rip through the sky
Nevermore to see the light
Now their mark shows the white from the black
Nevermore to see the light
In the mist of a windswept plain
We carried the gifts that our priests had restrained
Chanting awaiting the gods of the sun
We're children of sorrow captors of none
144,000 Gone
As the bleak of dusk ordains the eve
For the chosen
Intensified magnetism blares
In through the night
Echoed whispers of patience led by no refusals
And all that remained were the leeches scratching for space...
Lift us up take us away
Leave us not behind to decay
Let us see the ascension
To know departure is sure
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
Colossals reap the skeptics muddy cyclones turn a blissfully
Awaiting fate with bitter taste life goes on just the same
All of sudden sorrow builds with no escape in view
Your time here is through
And the master of deception keep the secret
To the clue from me and you
How do we know where do we look to find
A way out from tormented territories
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
All of sudden sorrow builds with no escape in view
Your time here is through
And the master of deception keep the secret
To the clue from me and you
How do we know where do we look to find
A way out from tormented territories
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
144 await the opening
Opening of the door
Guilty as Charged
Sono l'inganno che non vuoi scorpire. qui per te
I mutamenti sono dei servi
Ed u un grande padrone che ora vuole il tuo nome
Inocula Inocula
Inocula il mio germe
Forse se smetto di respirare se ne va via da su
Cos'u? Cos'u? Cos'u? Si riproduce vivo in me
Conflitti interni che lasci a macerare
Perchu e la tua realta che ti fa inumidire
Puoi non vedere, puoi rifiutare
Ma le serpi di oggi sono i vostri bambini
Inocula Inocula
Inocula il mio germe
Scorpi che il bene e che il male
non hanno effetto
Cos'u? [Etc.]
Back to Reign
Seven bowls cast on the land
Sinners walk proud show their private lives
Depict deception the wrath is on
Kiss of a queen bite of a snake
Deadly poison venomous fate
Feeling down and out
Felling there is no doubt
Some will pay for this pain
Justice picks you out of the game
In the cup from the water is black
I can't believe you'd stab me in the back
Living life tomorrow you'll know
Hate and anger poured of your soul
Now it's time, time to begin
In the end the humble will win
Feeling up and proud
Feeling there is no doubt
No remorse I tried to explain
When I rise I'll come back to reign
I'll come back to reign
Seven bowls cast on the land
Sinners walk proud hand in hand
Painful sores show their private lives
Depict deception the wrath is on
Kiss of a queen bite of a snake
Deadly poison venomous fate
Feeling up and proud
Feeling there is no doubt
No remorse I tried to explain
When I rise I'll come back to reign
I'll come back to reign
