В то время как старая гвардия ржавеет и хиреет (UDO, Gamma Ray, Manowar и т.п.) иногда появляются ТАКИЕ молодые коллективы, от которых веет и сталью, и пауэром за километр. Так и появляются новые, молодые надежды.
Шведские призывники из Sabaton явно помешаны на военной истории. "Attero Dominatus" - это карта кровавых сражений в летописи ХХ века (хотя они не стесняются вспоминать и более давние годы). В отличии от предыдущего (сыроватого) "Primo Victoria", данный альбом представляет ураганный звук, невероятную мощь и плотность. Могу с уверенностью сказать: это один из наилучшим образом записанных дисков в жанре метала.
Взятие Берлина в "Attero Dominatus", крестовые походы в "In the Name of God" и "маленькая, победоносная война" в Фолклендах в "Back in Control". Апогей - приход Рейха в "Rise of Evil": взрывающий мозги рифф, лирика и маршевая дробь ударных - это эталон хэви в XXI веке.
С таким альбомом как "Attero Dominatus" (вместе с последующим "Art of War") Sabaton имеет все шансы стать лидером хэви-метала в наше время. Надеюсь, они не упустят свой шанс. |

Начну с оформления диска, так как оно произвело на меня большое впечатление - очень мужественно, изысканно "металлерно" и по-военному сдержанно. Когда держишь в руках такой диск, возникает чувство, что он действительно сделан из хромированной стали, а не из пластика. Теперь о содержимом: открывает занавес заглавная песня "Attero Dominatus", и после командного и тяжелого призыва вокалиста: "attero!", она сразу же привлекает к себе все внимание и не отпускает на протяжении всей песни, как и альбом, в целом!
Всего на пластинке 9 треков о реальных (а не фэнтезийных, что немаловажно) войнах, в т.ч. и о Великой Отечественной, ядерных атаках, о заложниках и терроре, о мужской силе, чести и мужестве, патриотизме, о борьбе за мир, стратегических решениях и командах сильных мира сего (не случайно на обложке альбома написана цитата W. Churchill`я).
Вступление к песне "Angels Calling", марширующей под шестым номером, немного расслабляет, но не ослабляет внимание, а затем, словно взрывная волна, тяжелые гитарные риффы наносят мощнейший хэви-удар... очень эффектно! Последняя песня "Metal Crüe" посвящана всем Богам Металлического Олимпа, а именно Venom, Accept, Nazareth, Rainbow, Iron Maiden, Gamma Ray, Destruction, Rage, Status quo и т.д., всех и не перечислишь, причем все это переплетено в такой забавной рифме с обалденным подтекстом, к сожалению, чтобы действительно уловить этот "сабатоновский" прикол и респект старикам-металлерам, нужно хорошо знать английский язык (вот и появился отличный повод, чтобы его выучить!) Хочу еще отметить, что практически всю музыку и стихи к альбому написал вокалист группы Joakim Broden, который также одно время выполнял функции клавишника, судя по всему - мужик просто гениальный!
В заключение, хочу сказать, что, безусловно, альбом "Attero Dominatus" (да и Sabaton в целом), заслуживает внимания со стороны всех поклонников хэви-металл! Слушая эту группу, с радостью понимаешь, что хэви не умрет НИКОГДА, несмотря на повальный загон молодежи по готике, альтернативе и прочих веяний. Долой сопли-слюни, да здравствует HEAVY METAL, тяжелые риффы, протяжные, свистящие соло, бьющие в самое сердце и заставляющие его ликовать!
P.S. "Attero Dominatus" выпущен в России на лейбле "Арт Мюзик Групп", так что покупайте и наслаждайтесь! |

The nazis must pay for their crimes
The wings of the eagle has been broken
Marshall Zhukov's orders:
Serve me Berlin on a plate!
Disregard the losses
The city is ours to take
The price of a war must be payed
Millions of lives has been lost
The price must be paid by the men
That started the war in the 30's
The spring of the year 45'
The year when the nazis will fall
We're inside the gates of Berlin
The beak of the eagle is broken
Comrade Stalins orders:
Serve me it's head on a plate
Disregard the losses
The eagle's land is ours to take
March!
Fight!
Die!
In Berlin!
March!
Fight!
Conquer!
Berlin!
2. Nuclear Attack
Dropped from Enola, a city erased, threat of the future displayed
A power unheard of a power unseen
Flash out of nowhere, the sky is burning
At 8:16 AM Tokyo control realized something was wrong
Reports of explosions, destruction and pain
Air raid from hell city gone in a blaze
August in black, B-29's coming back
Prepare for nuclear attack
Warned but did not heed
Prepare for nuclear attack
Extermination
Strike back
Chose not to believe
Another nuclear attack
From the southeast came the second attack, threat of tomorrow unveiled
11:02 on the 9th of August
Over the valley, like ball lightning
The bomb detonates and the land turns to waste, barren for decades to come
The factories burning, the steelworks destroyed
Surrender your war else you'll perish in flames
Second attack, B-29's turning back.
3. Rise Of Evil
A nation in despair, weakened by war, defeated
Lost their pride in Versailles
A former prisoner, with a vision or a grand delusion
Rise to power in the reich
Rebuilding an army
Make the nation proud
Disregarding the treaty
Secret plans for "lebensraum"
Start the holocaust
The reich will rise
Propaganda, the reich will rise
To last a thousand years
Burning books to spread, anti-semite propaganda
Who will stop the madman's reign?
Night of broken glass, send the Jews to Dachau death camp
On a path to certain death
The "anschluss" completed
On the brink of war
Act brutal with no pity
Be harsh, show no remorse
Start the warmachine
In the last days of peace
Europe holding it's breath
An invasion is coming but when will it start?
Who will be first to fall? who will be last to stand?
Who will stop all this madness that has consequences no man understand?
No man, no land!
4. In The Name Of God
Hide from the public eye, choose to appear when it suits you
Claim you're just, killing women and children
Fight, when you choose to fight, hide in a cave when you're hunted
Like a beast spawned from hell, utilizing fear
Chosen by god or a coward insane?
Stand up and show me your face!
Suicidal, in a trance
A religious army
Fight without a uniform and hide in the crowd
Call it holy, call it just
Authorized by heaven
Leave your wounded as they die, and call it gods will
Run when its time to pay, fear consequence of your action
Reappear, when you're almost forgotten
Dream of a world in peace, yet you cause pain and destruction
Kill your own, a response of your actions
Captured in all you lies, fear is in your eyes
Creature who's gone insane, your war is in vain
Trapped in a cage of stone, we'll destroy your home
Consequence of your action
5. We Burn
I've had a vision its clear to me now
I know what has to be done
Different religions cannot share a land
A plague and I have the cure
Chase them down, let them suffer in pain
Dig them down, theyґll be gone for a while
Evidence lost
We burn
Plunder and rape
Show them no mercy, just burn
Flesh turn to ash
Inspired by deeds that were done long ago
I know what has to be done
Filth of my land must be washed clean and pure
Now let the cleansing begin
Genocide?
Who will drag me to court?
Thereґs no crime if you do not get caught
I am the law. We burn
Privates, sergeants and generals hear
It's our chance we've been waiting too long
Your orders are: to start to burn
6. Angels Calling
Sent to kill, to watch no man's land
Snipers are moving unseen
Fight for land, to lose it again
Shrapnel is filling the air
Hell on earth, the trenches mean death, better keep your head down low
Charge their lines, the ultimate test it's a synchronized sacrifice
Get the wounded after dark
Left alone in no man's land
Maddening chaos at the front
Dream of heaven
Angels are calling your name
Shells and guns, a rifle and scope
Bullets are wearing your name
Losing track of time and of space
Midnight at sanity's edge
Losing friends to artillery shells, at the break of dawn
Break their will, as yours has been broken, they're here alone, dream of home
Charge at dawn to gain a yard
Scout at night to guard their lines
Leave your life in fortunes hand
When the bullet hits it's mark
Know your time in hell has been served
You won't return to home
7. Back In Control
Sent to the islands to secure what is ours
Marching ashore in the cover of night
Hide until dawn and attack in the twilight
Shake them awake with the thunder of guns
Orders from the iron maiden, get the islands back
Failure will not be accepted, call for artillery strike, launch attack
We are Back in control, force them to surrender
Take what is ours, restore law and order
Back in control, push them further out to sea
Falklands in our hands, back under British reign
Push them back further and out from the islands
Into our fleet that will stop their retreat
Mark their positions and call in the airforce
Harriers and Vulcans strikes at our command
8. A Light In The Black
A cry for help, a distant whisper
A foreign nation calling our name
Sent to hell, to reach for heaven
To serve in dark, as light in the black
Sent into battle to aid strangers in need
Gain independence, our forces will lead
Final solution when all others have failed
Liberation is coming our path has been laid
We remember the fields, where our tanks held the line
We remember our brothers in arms
When the war, has been won
And our march home begins
What awaits has not yet been revealed
What was won? what was lost?
Will our deeds be remembered?
Are they written on stone or in sand?
Marching ashore, our target awaits
Facing resistance, forces driven by hate
Protecting civilians, while fired upon
Rules of engagement, our restrictions are gone
We remember the sea, where our ships broke the waves
We remember our brothers in arms
Leaving home, set to sea
Was this really meant to be?
See the shore of our home fade away
Facing blood, facing pain
Have our brothers died in vain?
Many lives has been lost on the way
9. Metal Crьe
Take some venom and accept
That you won't see Nazareth
The rainbow leads you home
Warrior sent to milky way
UFO shooting gamma ray
A riot of destruction
Watch the rockbitch go down, vixen spread
When the priest killed a maiden in the metal church
Armored saints and warlocks watched the slaughter
Rage of the slayer forced the pretty maids
To kiss the Queen in crimson glory
You were born a motorhead
Bike's in flames you race ahead
U do the Kansas rush
Racing with the motley crew
Annihilator chasing you
With guns and burning roses
Status quo has been reached, wasps unleashed
Take a skyride with me, then you'll see
