| 1. Nothing Is True
In a song that can't be sung
I'm the man on the outside looking in
To just the beating of your heart
Just one man beneath the sky
Just two eyes and a word unbroken
And everything's permitted
Nothing is true anymore
Just two hearts and a chain unbroken
When death's sle |

Что же, очередной лав-метальный альбом из Финляндии, только в его составе довольно таки известные личности, это барабанщик Nightwish, вокалист Finntroll, Nightwish, и свой вклад вложил в этот диск, сыграв все клавишные партии сам Тоумас Холопайнен (угадайте из какой группы?). (Как я заметил музыканты Nightwish решили нарубить капусты и с лав-металла, и набрать еще некоторое количество малолетних группис в свою постель). Музыка этой команды ненавязчива, она не особо скоростная, все тот же лав-металл с долей прогрессива и более хэви-метальным звуком. Песни так и сочатся мелодиями, грустью и некоторой тяжестью вкупе с легкостью в звуке, но все же их музыка более позитивна в каком-то плане. Вокал, как и подобает, чистый и распевный. Тексты о тех же проблемах, что и у всех финских меланхоликов, то есть о соплях, неразделимой любви и страданьях, что уже приелось на самом деле. В остальном же, продюсирование, сведение и запись - без комментариев, в Финляндии на этом уровне работы над альбомами всегда было высокое качество. Альбом можно посоветовать всем любителям финских мелодичных лав-метальных команд от To/Die/For до For my pain... Музыка Sethian может вогнать слушателя, порой, правда в тишину и заставит еще раз нажать на кнопку Play, так как пусть весь материал вторичен, но все же приятен на слух. |

Ничем особенным не примечательный хэви с небольшими вкраплениями прогрессива. К сожалению, в композиторском искусстве группа не сильна, на диске очень мало интересных и запоминающихся мелодий, из-за чего он напрочь забывается через 30 секунд после нажатия кнопки «стоп». Будь мелодии поинтереснее, этот альбом никогда бы не затерялся среди себе подобных, благо что исполнительское мастерство участников группы на вполне приличном уровне. Приятные «мягкие» барабаны, внятная гитара и очень неплохой бас. Слабое звено состава банды – вокал. Он абсолютно неоригинален, да и в профессиональном плане оставляет желать лучшего. Положение не спасает даже количество – 5 вокалистов, вместе с сессионщиками. Зачем столько одинаковых голосов, непонятно, все они чистые и не балуют слушателя ни гроулом, ни скримингом, ни дамскими серебристыми распевами… Качество записи довольно профессионально, все звучит четко и ясно. Но сведение подкачало – композиции кажутся сумбурными. На переднем плане звучат барабаны; неплохо, но к концу диска утомляет. Вокал задвинут довольно далеко, и надо сказать, заслуженно. Очень скромный в визуальном плане буклет дает представление о печальной и не слишком заумной лирике, а также о внешности музыкантов, если это кому-нибудь интересно. В целом – совершенно проходной и не оставляющий в душе никакого следа альбом, который еще может сгодиться как фон, но при целенаправленном прослушивании создающий чувство зря потраченного времени. |

Rest Under Her Silver Wings
If death is a long cold rest
You can lay your burden down on me
See but the chaos of your soul
Just one kiss behind the lie
Just two hearts and a chain unbroken
And everything's permitted
Nothing is true anymore
Just two eyes and a word unbroken
2. Dream Domain
Wander in silence
Walk all alone
The secret thoughts
Touch the unknown
Everything that I hold dear seem so far away:
Holding a candle
For what remains
What they did to me
It cannot be undone
No more lies, I've seen it all just fade away:
Deep in my mind
Deep in my soul
This precious pain I can't let go (I cannot let it show:)
Wait:
For another day
For the vision of truth
In the dream domain
Pray:
For another wave
To wash your sins
To the dream domain
Facing the stranger
In reflecting glass
Touching the flame
Trying to feel alive
Hold my heart as a candle against the freezing wind
Watching the shadows
Dance on my skin
We bleed inside
Dying to feel alive
Happiness is just an illusion, a step into oblivion
3. Love Under Will
Untouched by the sun we tread
As many have before
We are as all things mortal
Left alone to find the light
The trailing echoes of a time
Whispering solemnly
We shine our sun on these darkened skies above
I know:
The winds will take me home tonight
I wanna be where the echoes die
We believe in this truth we found
Underlying
Everlasting
To the cold in the air tonight
Follow the star in the morning sky
The be all
The end all
The single truth
Love under will
There's nothing that can harm us now
As summer turns to fall
Within which all must come undone
Laugh with me by this coming dawn
A scarlet sunrise
And we will see what lies beyond it's reach
4. Epithaph
You are the sole lonely voice
As gods no longer hear
No savior to die for you
To wash away the pain
You are the burning embers
Of a November sunrise
It all was way too sudden
A childish cruel joke
And maybe we took a step too far
The blind shall lead the blind
All is gone, damage done
The edge of sanity we tread on
Bleeding still
All is gone, damage done
The price of infamy we paid full
All is will
Carved with a twisted smile
An epitaph for sorrow
Discard this hollow memory
The past has had it's say
Words rain down like daggers
Turning me into stone
Beware, beware
At the edge of the world
And now there's venom in your head
The blind shall lead the blind
5. Too Far Gone
I'm not the one to show you the way
I'm not worth shedding a tear
These arms will never give you what you're longing for:
There's too many years between us
There lies an ocean of pain
Dark roads I hope you'll never have to walk
I'm Too Far Gone
These stories have no happy endings
So turn away
Before I tear your soul apart
I'm Too Far Gone
These stories have no happy endings
So turn away
Before I steal your dreams:
Burnt by the everlasting sun
I see no soothing rainfall
But bitter tears holding the sweetness of blood
There's too many tears between us
There lies an ocean of pain
Scars I wish you'll never have to wear
6. Purity In Sorrow
How many roads are there to walk?
How many stories to tell?
We are a predatory race
Ready to kill for a sign of weakness
I am a man with too little to give
Alone against the world
Where no one cares about the truth anymore:
When these feelings come alive
Purity in sorrow
We're going nowhere fast
The contradictions last
If I could just see behind the mire
This is the dawn of final days
An open grave
If I could turn back time
If I could explain
If I could take the road I see
Further away:
How many songs must be unsung?
How many tears to cry?
We are a race of ingrates
Clutching at straws at end of our days
I know the meek shall inherit nothing
There's no heaven above
Walk away from the world of pain and sorrow
7. Dead Reckoning
On the seventh hour you came
An Angel with snakes in both hands
It was the dirty end of winter
You took my dreams from me
Yet my foolish heart roams untame
I lost it all, replaced by shame
I dream of angels
Yet I live among the demons
We fly by night
Dead Reckoning
Like moths to the flame we fly in blind devotion
We fly by night
Dead Reckoning
I know this truth is always right
It's time to search behind the lies
You took my thoughts from me
As all the dreams we once embraced
Are lost forever and defaced.
If I can't find my peace
Or solace in the life we share
I'll find my solitude in death
8. Magdalene
I'm sleeping with this sin again
On lucid borders of the night
Watching as everything will fall apart
I know this is for real
The only thing that's left for me
The broken hopes calling from yesterday
I would have such sights to show you now
Let my soul be heard
See me crash and burn
I have seen
My Magdalene
Walk With Thee, Forever in The Cold
As I have seen
My Magdalene
Walk With Thee, Forever, Ever in The Cold
Lie under cold blue stars again
I see all that could have been
Watching as everything has come apart
I know this is for me
The rite of fall to feed the need
The human nature falling on misery
9. Heavens May Fall
Down where air stands still tonight
Where nothing matters anymore
Cold fingers trace the road to the ends of this earth
Drown my sorrows with the past
Forget all that is gone
Your empty words hold nothing more for me:
This is an endless journey
Going nowhere fast
A sanctuary for my restless heart
Sorrow hold me in your arms
Never let me go
Take me down where the skies collide
Where heavens may fall
Come embrase my weary eyes
Lay me down to sleep
Take me down where tears divide
And heavens may fall
Mourn for the wasted times behind
Lost to the world of endless lies
Raise your eyes
And gaze on to the boundless sky above
Come join the choir of the damned
Leave all your pride behind
Shout to the skies "I'm nothing to this world:"
10. Blood Calling
Bringer of light
The Faustian search, envision my primeval self
Sail the vast ocean of lucid darkened eyes
Cast asunder,melting my soul
On this sea of million dreams
Through this first flower
I?m touching the boundaries of evolution itself
Blood calling
Blinded by the light
See beyond the oceans of time
Blood calling
Blinded by the light
Find a path of altered states of life
Search Promethean
Endless quest, to touch an angel of light
Take my soul but give me knowledge at any cost
Torn apart I?ll find the way
A little death to soothe my soul
Way to realisation
Through obliteration of this mortal coil
11. Call Of The Wind
Sitting on the side of a lonely road
Beyond middle of nowhere
"Trace the memories of our times
For the ones who had to fall
You may die before the end
But the end is yet so far"
All around the world the lonely bloodstone
Walks in search of another year
"For there is something new
You will find each passing day
Come together for the way
The life you were born to lead"
Come heed the call of the wild
The east and west are mine
Another chapter in the story
Let's make some history
Down the dirty road I look again
The footprints join and divide
"Ask again for some consolation
Burn these bridges down
You may die before the end
But the end is yet so far"
12. Into The Silence
Tender is the night:
The one that must not be named
A beast within the human skin
I bow before no idol
Craven in my image
The world is made of dreaming
Of misty visions without words
In it you cannot hide
Trust the morning come
Tender is the night
Falling from the light
Against the sky
Into the silence
On these roadways never trodden
For a past and present unforgotten
I draw these bitter words
Sing vengeance for the one
The one who gave me this life
Gave me breath and gave me fire
Emotions without dignity
Life without end
Go to sleep my love...
