| 1. Austral Spectrum
Iris reflects, your focus on beauty.
Instant burning of stratosphere and ground.
Visually harsh, the spectral extremes.
Tempt you with shade, drawing you in.
Don't be fooled by placid appearance,
Like a colossal planetary vulva consumes.
She tempts us with aqua, bu |

В последний год предыдущего тысячелетия у коллектива Alchemist вышел альбом, явно свидетельствующий о больших переменах в их музыке. В первую очередь, изменения коснулись звучания. Больше всего меня расстроили "пластмассовые" ударные, скорее всего, записанные в миди. Гитарный звук стал более альтернативноориентированным, но более чистым, нежели на ранних альбомах. В общем, от стиля Technical Death остались лишь жалкие крупицы. Максимально упрощая, в итоге имеем прогрессивный металл с элементами психоделии, дэта и альтернативной музыки. В целом, альбом получился весьма хитовым и запоминающимся, что не может не радовать. Вокалист теперь все больше поет, иногда срываясь на хрип и скриминг (весьма сильный, кстати говоря). Влияние таких групп, как King Crimson и Pink Floyd все так же заметно, и это радует. Композиции, как всегда, разнообразны: от восточных зарисовок до австралийских племенных плясок, сменяющихся дэтовым "чесом" и альтернативными "запилами". В принципе, любители группы вряд ли разочаруются, так как красивых мелодий и смелых ходов в музыке австралийцев пруд пруди. Мелодически данная работа меня тоже устраивает, минус один балл только за звук. |

Вот и добрался я до рецензирования горячо любимой мною банды и ее нового (последнего) альбома. Если учесть, что Atheist & Cynic вылетели из турнирной таблицы, а Sadist, с недавнего времени, нарезает непотребщину кислотно-прогрессивного характера (хорошая была команда, Аминь!) Австралийские металхэды автоматически занимают устойчивое первое место на арене techno-death`а. И Organasm лишний раз подтверждает "кто в доме хозяин".
Безупречный в техническом плане (если не сказать больше), как всегда море психоделии (a-la Pink Floid), сей продукт способен оторвать любую намертво пришитую башню и улетит она, паскуда, далеко в космос, к другим планетам и звездам, и будет летать там пока не кончится диск. Вобщем, что там говорить это надо слушать. И не один раз. И может быть тогда ты услышишь.

She shows her aggression, while remaining placid,
And we exploit all that she gives.
Burnt...Charred, yet continuous birth remains.
Iris reflects, your focus on beauty.
Intense blending of green and brown.
Widen the spectrum.
Colours the visual expression of nature,
Visually harsh are the spectral extremes,
Widen the spectrum.
2. Bio Approach
Molten rock lays dormant, around a tiny star,
As microscopic life forms, approaches from afar.
Traveling infinity, the rock and ice collides,
Hostile possibilities, destruction bringing life.
Hurling through the cosmos, a frozen world of ice Macro amino acids,
the building blocks of life,
Contained in basic compounds.
The plan for life persists,
To start the evolution,
The world where we exist.
[CHORUS] Build our world, from this dust.
Elements and molecules, why we exist today.
Speed toward our system, a million miles a day.
Suspended in a frozen form, macrobiotics sleep.
Colliding with our mother, evolution's free.
So free your evolution, Is this how we came to be?
Bio-approach is the only reason we live.
[CHORUS]
3. Rampant Micro Life
Slowly cells mutate, reform, degenerate.
Reposes our stolen fate.
Nuclei tears it's self in two.
Reproduction breaking through,
Confirming what is true.
[REPEAT] This womb is warm, so life must form.
Unaware of living, continue to divide.
Through aeons of mutation, variety of life.
Breaking through the masses,
A form of life is born.
Destruction in it's nature,
Humanity is spawned.
Rampant Micro Life.
Rampant Micro Life.
Cells join and divide,
New forms of life they seek,
Destruction at it's peak.
Rampant Micro Life.
Rampant Micro Life.
Rampant Micro Life.
Rampant Micro Life.
Unaware of living, continue to divide.
Through aeons of mutation, variety of life.
Breaking through the masses,
A form of life is born.
Destruction in it's nature,
Humanity is spawned.
4. Warring Tribes (Eventual Demise)
Human beings congregate.
Difference within this race.
Take control to rule the world,
Slowly as our fate unfurls.
Human beings segregate,
Self destruction is our fate.
Destroy each other for control,
Naturally destructive souls.
Hear the call of warring tribes,
See eventual demise.
Tear humanity apart.
Die and heal our mothers heart.
We live, we breathe, we hear we see,
Humanity.
We tear ourselves apart, total insanity.
We live, we breathe, we hear we see,
Humanity.
We tear ourselves apart, total insanity.
The warring tribes, and our demise,
A tragedy.
Is there a purpose to life?
Have we reached, our evolutionary peak?
Can we create a world that we will seek to find?
Evolution within our minds eye,
From devolution we die.
5. Single Sided
Forced to hear your words, though they might be true.
Say what you will,
others have different points of view.
I’m hearing all that you say.
You forgot no one’s the same.
This cannot be, you rant and rave.
Open your mind, yourself you’ll save.
There comes a time in everyone’s life.
Where we choose to question our times,
In the end it’s all the same.
You believe you have certain rights.
It’s just a factor of human plight,
You’re just one side of the game.
Don’t pretend to hear what I say,
And it’s not the truth you relay,
But my mind you’ll never change.
Different thoughts go on in our heads.
There is truth in all that is said,
We should be careful where we tread.
Seek to find the causes that evade you.
Try to like the people that resent you,
Clear your mind of fog,
So you can see through,
Don’t forget that no one is the same.
Seek to find the causes that evade you.
Try to like the people that resent you,
Clear your mind of fog,
So you can see through,
Don’t forget that no one is the same.
A coin that’s single sided,
Must have the odds unbalanced.
I call for heads,
You call for tails.
Nothing is won, nothing prevails.
A coin that’s single sided,
Must have the odds unbalanced.
There are two sides to balance your mind,
Look deep inside it’s there that you’ll find it,
Spend all your life tying to hide it,
Don’t criticize until you have tried it,
You’re single sided.
6. Surreality
I can't believe existence, is confined to this life.
And I can't tell the difference, between the truth and lies.
[CHORUS:] Surreality, surreal, reality.
Is this really me, or just an idea in my mind?
Sometimes it seems that being,
Is all within my mind,
In truth I'm seeking comfort,
To difficult to find.
Infernal lobe resistance, fact and fiction are the same.
Please let all the answers be unleashed from my brain.
Surreality, surreal, reality.
Is this really me, or just an idea in my mind?
7. New Beginning
There's a new uprising coming for us.
A new beginning from the difficult past.
A smarter way for us to live out our dreams,
And every move we make is better than it seems.
It's a new beginning.
A new beginning and it's starting right now.
It's a new beginning and may all our deeds be done.
There's a new uprising coming for us.
A new beginning from the difficult past.
A smarter way for us to live out our dreams,
And every move we make is better than it seems.
We've been through all of it, the good and the bad.
We just get over it, we know the best is yet to come.
We deal with every type, the exploiters and the true,
We don't rely on hype, quality always pulls us through.
Sometimes it seems shrouded,
Like we will never break through.
On other times, the sun it shines, on all that we do.
No matter what were dealt, were staying true to the cause.
Breaking down the misconceptions, make our own laws.
Today - Right now.
8. Tide In, Mind Out
All that I see, enhanced chemically.
Watch the sea, and feel your thoughts,
They pass by.
See the way the sky and sea become one.
Chemicals within mind and the sea.
Makes me wonder if this really is me.
[CHORUS:]
Stare in, reach out,
Tide in, mind out.
Reach in, stare out,
Stare in, reach out.
Tide in, mind out.
All that I see, enhanced chemically.
Watch the sea, and feel your thoughts,
They pass by.
See the way the sky and sea become one.
Chemicals within m mind and the sea.
Makes me wonder if this really is me.
[Chorus]
Plentiful, awe inspiring.
Endless energy, never tiring.
9. Eclectic
[Instrumental]
10. Escape From The Black Hole
Drawn towards, pull away.
Mass compressed, and escape.
Not knowing what the
threat has instore,
Don't ignore the warnings they gave.
It will try to tear us apart.
But in unity we are saved.
Ignorant and blind,
It threatens from afar.
No sense within it's mind,
It's seeking ways to justify.
And there's no cause to find.
It let's us know it's plans.
It's programmed to destroy.
It's torn apart with it's own hands.
Try to crush the seek that must grow.
Wishing on a strongers demise.
Thinking that you know all you know.
Encrypting the truth in it's lies.
[CHORUS:]
Poised on the edge of your mindless plans,
Does the fear inside make the threat seem real.
Attractive, destructive, resist the gravitational force.
Appear as a lamb, revealed as a wolf,
Enticed by promises true and false,
Reactive, seductive,
Fate is simply running it's course.
Ignorant and blind, It threatens from afar.
No sense within it's mind,
It's seeking ways to justify.
And there's no cause to find.
It let's us know it's plans.
It's programmed to destroy.
It's torn apart with it's own hands.
Try to crush the seek that must grow.
Wishing on a strongers demise.
Thinking that you know all you know.
Encrypting the truth in it's lies.
[Chorus]
