Эта группа является одним из главных проектов плодовитого гитариста 80-х Дэвида Частэйна. Музыкально это развитие и продолжение идей металл-команды Spyke, то есть результат слияния хэви метала и новомодного тогда гитарного шреда. Что сказать, результат налицо: не прогрессивный, но сложный, очень техничный и жесткий Heavy Metal с резким пилящим звуком гитар, женским полухриплым вокалом, скоростными и громкими, почти трэшевыми ударными и мощным глубоким басом. Саунд нарочито грязноват, но это не мешает назвать мне звук отличным, все инструменты слышно идеально и с разбираемостью проблем не возникнет уж точно. Вокал Лэзер, как всегда, узнаваем и великолепен во всем. Ну а Дэвид здесь точно в ударе! Очень быстрые и мелодичные запилы в сочетании с тяжелыми гитарными риффами сразу же цепляют и не отпускают до конца прослушивания! Ритм-секция тоже достойна похвалы, обеспечивая очень плотную и крепкую поддержку для железобетонной стены гитарного звука Дэйва. Осмелюсь предположить, что эта работа самая тяжелая в дискографии Chastain. Однако не одно это заставляет меня переслушивать сей альбом. Ведь главное здесь - потрясающая мелодика, присущая именно этой группе! Как и в случае со следующим творением "The Voice Of The Cult", здесь не наблюдается проходных или неудачных песен: все хороши как на подбор. Наиболее удачными я бы назвал ломовые притрэшованные "Paradise" и заглавную вещь, хитовые хэви металлические боевики "It's Too Late For Yesterday" и " Feel His Magic", интересную среднетемповую "The Wicked Are Restless" с явными влияниями неоклассики и мрачную, торжественно закрывающую альбом "Forevermore". Пожалуй, период 1987-1988 года выдался наиболее удачным для Chastain (недаром "The Voice Of The Cult" и "7-th Of Never" сейчас зачастую переиздаются на одном диске) Всего за два года выпустить такие сильные, цельные альбомы - это достойно похвалы для всех участников группы и для Дэйва, в частности. И "7-th Of Never" по праву получает от меня высший балл. Нержавеющая золотая классика рока, пусть и не очень известная. |

Неожиданно альбом не самого известного гитарного виртуоза Дэвида Частэйна оказался очень сильной вещью, во многом благодаря активному применению такой техники игры на гитаре, как шреддинг (и в исполнении Дэвида она звучит, на мой взгляд, гораздо интереснее, чем у нео-классиков, и Мальмстина в частности). Еще одной особенностью является чрезвычайно быстрое, мощное и практически трэшевое звучание, которое пронзительным звуком электрогитары Частэйна и дополняется (этот эффект особенно заметен в «Paradise»).
В общем, как можно было уже понять, песни подобраны и исполнены в довольно агрессивном звучании, потому и полны чистого драйва. В композиторском плане альбом почти совершенен: ни одной проходной или просто обычной песни тут нет, только лишь шедевры (в том числе, инструментальная «827»). Совсем другое дело, что избранный стиль не предусматривает наличие баллад и спокойных композиций, поэтому от прослушивания альбома неподготовленное к постоянному thrash heavy-ухо может несколько устать. Но разве это причина, чтобы не поставить 10-тку? |

We must carry on
We don't care what they say
We don't need their senseless ways
We'll carry on
We got the world in our hand
Something they can't understand
We've seen the future
Our enemies shall fall
We must carry on
We have the strenght
The will and the drive
We must carry on
We got the world in our hand
Something they'll never, never understand
We must carry on
2. Paradise
There is a curse growing thru the land
It'll rule your body and your mind, that's the plan
Living a lie, it'll catch up to you
You better hold your ground before you're thru
Every day you lose a little more
You're slowly losing a deadly war
You better wake up, it's getting late
Paradise is not what it seems
Paradise, is just a bad dream
You've heard the reasons so many times
What are you searching for, what can you find
Can't you see you've fallen to the scourge
The numbers grow, what's it all for
Every day you lose a little more
Slowly losing a deadly war
You better wake up, it's getting late
Paradise is not what it seems
Paradise, is just a bad dream
No matter what, it's all in your hands
It's all you decision, you know that you can
There is a curse growing through the land
It'll rule your body and your mind, that's the plan
Every day you lose a little more
You're slowly losing a deadly war
You better wake up, it's getting late
Paradise is not what it seems
Paradise, is just a bad dream
It's just a bad dream
Paradise
Paradise
3. It's Too Late Yesterday
Damn the fates, sweet destiny is lost
There's no escape, we know the final cost
We've forever lost the light
To the stage of the past and it's ways
You can cry out and scream aloud but
It's too late for yesterday
And I'm filled with rage, the fire no longer burns
Helpless shame, there is no return
The long and dangerous road
Seems to take it's toll on us all
You can cry and scream aloud but
It's too late for yesterday
Damn the fates, sweet destiny is lost
There's no escape, we know the final cost
We've forever lost the light
To the stage of the past and it's ways
You can cry out and scream aloud but
It's too late for yesterday

5. The Wicked Are Restless
I've told you all the things that nobody knows
This part of me is where you'll grow
No rest for you, a trial to see
They have come here with me
The wicked are restless, they're calling out for you
The wicked are restless, they have to have you
They've conquered my boundaries of firm disbelief
Stuck me to the wall, life's so brief
They smiled in waiting, offering a hand
They seem to know just where you stand
The wicked are watching, they're waiting just for you
The wicked are watching, they're planning for you
So stand tall
Don't take the fall
If you're against fate
The wicked wants one and all
You think you're ready to stand your own ground
They stalked you, your secrets they've found
Their power is endless, controlled by the sea
Now you will become me
The wicked are restless, thet're calling out for you
The wicked are restless, they want you, they rule
In the deep of the night they wil send for you
The wicked are restless, they have to have you
6. The 7th Of Never
We're resiliant, we'll defy
The evil cast upon us
We organize the strategy
For the force that we face
By the light we defend the right
We see the odds against us
The rise and grace of vicious thought
Must die within this place
We can't turn back, we'll hold our ground
Our mission is supreme
We'll find a way
For we shall purge the evil from the world
By the dawn, we feel the sun
Will guide us thru the combat
The battlefield is filled with troops
Of men of long ago
The sword is raised high, the cry is long
From a voice within the distance
Armaggedon, here at last
It is the final show
We'll never turn back, we'll hold our ground
Our mission is supreme
We'll find a way for we shall end
The world of their curse
The 7th of never, the 7th of never
We carry the torch for the future of the right
The 7th of never
The war to end all the wars
Must be brought before us
And what's at stake is far to great
To lose in disgrace
We will fade, if the need
Or the cause demends it
The rise and grace of vicious throught
Must die within this place
For the good shall reign from this day on
Our mission is supreme
We'll find a way
And we shall purge purge the evil from this world
7. Take Me Back In Time
I've seen today but the reason's there no more
Tomorrow brings the same, something I can't ignore
All will return from all that we have learned
All that will be we shall never see
Take me back in time
I feel the anger I've seen the madness
I've felt the rain, we've all been the sadness
All will return from all that we've learned
All that will be we shall never see
Take me back in time
Look into the far light
For that's where all will be
I've seen today but the reason's there no more
Tomorrow brings the same, what I want is there before
All must return from all that we have learned
All that will be we will never see
Take me back in time
Take me back in time
Take me back in time
Back in time
Take me back in time
8. Feel His Magic
He lives away alone, in a space no one has been
His wisdom is great, a gift, born from within
He knows all and sees everything
Feel his magic
He reads what you think and he knows just what you'll do
He's lived thru the years, he's changed all whom he knew
Wise men seek out his words
Feel his magic
Feel his magic
The stories he knows and the marvels that he has made
Miracles can be but there must always be a trade
The desperate call out his name
Feel his magic
Feel his magic
Miracles can be but there must be a trade
Feel his magic
9. Foreveremore
We are the wind and the rain from above
We cast no shadows as we face the sun
In the morning I'll be there with you
We have conquered, the world is at our feet
We have the answers for all that we have ever dreamed
We will be forevermore
We watch the stars and touch the warmth that thay bring
We see the waters reflect all that it sees
We've seen the tears come from all around
They just dont know what it is we've found
We have the answers for all that we have ever dreamed
We will be forevermore
We will be as one for that's what we've become
And we will stand alone as far as time is known
Silence all around, peace is what we've found
We will be forevermore
We are the wind and the rain from above
We cast no shadows as we face the sun
In the morning I'll be there with you
We have conquered, the world is at our feet
We have the answers for all that we have ever dreamed
We will be forevermore
