| 1. Blind Faith
Roman Empire, Christian persecution is here
Strongest desire: eradicate the new sectarians
Hunting down those who pray the new words
Awaiting their fall, the thumbs down for the end
The arena is prepared, the crowd awaiting the spectacle
"They think they're not alone - 'God  |

Третий альбом легенды бундес-трэша в очередной раз подтверждает правоту фундаментального философского закона о переходе количества в качество. Причём во всём, ведь именно с “Пугающей уверенности” Kreator стали квартетом (да простят меня апологеты Sodom и Destruction, но я считаю, что настоящий трэшняк можно играть только в 2 гитары). И потраченные Милле сотоварищи часы за репетициями дали свои плоды, так как уровень игры на инструментах Kreator значительно вырос по сравнению с предыдущим альбомом. Начиная с “Terrible Certainty” немцы в своей музыке обрели то, что мне в них всегда нравилось, а именно: чёткий милитаристический ритм, жёсткие, достаточно сложные гитарные риффы, вменяемые соло, а также холодный и беспощадный, как скальпель хирурга, настрой. Качество записи на порядок улучшилось, исчез этот кашеобразный саунд, который портил всё впечатление от “Pleasure to Kill”. Относительно дел лирических тоже стало всё в полном порядке, Милле напряг мозги и насочинял вместо тупых текстов на основе дешёвых ужастиков, умную остросоциальную лирику. В своих текстах герр Петроцца касается проблем загрязнения окружающей среды (“Toxic Trace”), безумия и “внутренних демонов” (“Behind the Mirror”), преследования первых христиан в Римской Империи (“Blind Fate”) и так далее. В общем, нет смысла распинаться дальше, и так всё всем хорошо известно. Одним словом – классика! |

Как же так, блин??? Сколько времени существует данный раздел, и на этот альбом ничего нет? Грустно, старички...
Этот альбом я считаю самым эталонным у трэшевой легенды. Злые рваные риффы, сырой звук, уже на что то похожее владение инструментами, и, главное, МЫСЛЬ!!! Всё это воплощено цельно и слитно в этом неслабом (мягко сказано) творении Созидателей. И вокал, кстати, тоже весьма и весьма не подкачал!!! А, да что там на Классику сильно распаляться. Как говорится слышавший- знает, неслышавший до сих пор- ну и не нужно, всё равно не врубишься... |

В третьем своем альбоме немецкие трэшеры продолжают нарезать отличный трэш. Скорость, агрессия и сильный вокал, который ни с чем не перепутаешь - подчерк раннего творчества группы. Однако звучание все-таки несколько изменилось, по сравнению с двумя предыдущими работами. В общем, музыка несколько сбавила в скорости и свирепости (разумеется, не утратив этих качеств полностью), но стала разнообразней и интересней. Манера пения тоже немного изменилась. Т.е. поет-то Милле точно так же, но теперь он выдает не сплошной поток слов (или обрывков слов), а периодически прерывается и старается разнообразить куплеты и припевы сменой скорости своих криков. Хотя композиции «Blind Faith» и «Toxic Trace» практически полностью сохранили манеру пения с предыдущих альбомов, что их нисколько не портит, композиции хорошие. А вот некоторым песням новая манера пения на пользу не пошла. Самая неудачная, на мой взгляд, композиция - это «As the World Burns», как то уж совсем нескладно ложатся слова на музыку, и не понятно, кто кого подгоняет слова музыку или наоборот, все равно темп выходит средний. «No Escape» хороша куплетами в духе прошлых работ, хотя припев опять же, как то плохо складывается, но за финальную тираду можно простить многое, извините за столь огромную цитату, но:
«When I was young no-one ever cared about me
Treacherous without compassion
You sought expression through them all
Sadistic and perverted urges
Dictated they had to fall
It makes no difference who you...
It won't change – you will see
So many lives lost, psychopath
Cured you'll never be»
- это Милле выплевывает за 9 секунд. Кстати «One оf Us» кончается чем-то похожим и это эффектно. Такой же прием использовался в «Death is Your Saviour» с предыдущего альбома. Ну и, на мой взгляд, самые лучшие песни альбома это «Storming with Menace» и «Terrible Certainty». Первая запоминается интересными куплетами и запоминающимся припевом (!), на третьей минуте песня, после гитарного проигрыша, казалось бы завершается, выстукивают последнюю партию барабаны и вдруг… взрывается такое бешенное соло, что аж дух захватывает. А вторая начинается легким стучанием барабанов, затем начинает бормотать бас-гитара, чуть позже подключаются остальные гитары, композиция постепенно разгоняется и выливается в отличный мощный боевик.
В общем, хороший альбом, который можно переслушивать, видно, что группа не стоит на месте. |

Religious figment of your mind
Pacifist you are so blind
Pray to God to send you a miracle
Believe the visions of your brain
As we start sadistic games
You are lost without your miracle - BLIND FAITH!
Feeding the lions with the meat of the christians
Order of the emperor, circus of deluded minds
Women and children, the young and the old
All who are awaiting the new messiah
Bloodlust fills the crowds minds, the massacre has begun
There is no Saviour, you're alone!
Why doesn't God help you now?
Religious figment of your mind
Pacifist you are so blind
Pray to God to send you a miracle
Believe the visions of your brain
As we start sadistic games
You are lost without your miracle - BLIND FAITH!
The Lions come storming in, the spectacle begins
The crowd is as one on their feet - see Christians bleed!
The emperor is standing proud, he satisfies the crowd
Playing games with the damned - they die hand in hand
After it's over, the massacre[Sings "slaughter"] is done
Clearing the arena, the next game will soon come
They sang songs of praise as they died
No Pain on their Faces, only a smile
Prepare the arena again! our work is not yet done
So many are still free and the crowd is soon hungry again
Religious figment of your mind
Pacifist you are so blind
Pray to God to send you a miracle
Believe the visions of your brain
As we start sadistic games
You are lost without your miracle - BLIND FAITH!
2. Storming With Menace
A black cloud hangs over your existence
All of your thoughts dismal and gray
The end of compassion lies in the distance
Your future only falseness and dismay
Storming with menace
Falsehood rules their brains
Storming with menace
Lies Hate and Dismay
Storming with menace
Hatred grows in me
Storming with menace
It rules them ,you will see
You are taught to storm through barricades
Breaking down walls, leaving ruins behind
Your victims cannot be sure of their future
Confused and terrorised are their minds
Storming with menace
Falsehood rules their brains
Storming with menace
Lies Hate and Dismay
Storming with menace
Hatred grows in me
Storming with menace
It rules them ,you will see
Storming with menace
Falsehood rules their brains
Storming with menace
Lies Hate and Dismay
Storming with menace
Hatred grows in me
Storming with menace
It rules them ,you will see
3. Terrible Certainty
Die! Slowly you're dying
From this contagious disease
Once you're infected there's no hope of a cure
Your passing is a sure thing
Your thoughts are empty and hopeless
Nothing is left for you now
Having to live with this terrible certainty
Praying is all you can do
It's vicious and crippling and slowly your life will end
But how long will it take to save us from the plague
With fatal convulsions the plague is reaching for us
God knows! What will it take to save us from the plague
Contracted by blood
The virus can be in us all
You're one of it's victims, but then thousands more
And they won't be the last
So many civilisations before
The mighty, the proud and the brave
The poor, the rich - Indiscriminate
Soon they'll all end in the grave
4. As The World Burns
The war is here
The future stops
Existence ends
Apocalypse will take our lives
One by one
As cities fall
As cultures die
As hope for survival
Turns into nothingness for us
Await your fate
You know there is nothing to save us now
Mankind never learns
Controlled by violent brains
The population has to pay
Doomsday has returned
As the world burns
Try to run, try to scream
It's too late
Megatons of death await to explode
To clear away
Fire and Pain
Now the time has come to destroy the planet Earth
Await your fate
You know there is nothing to save us now
Mankind never learns
Controlled by violent brains
The population has to pay
Doomsday has returned
As the world burns
Await your fate
You know there is nothing to save us now
Mankind never learns
Controlled by violent brains
The population has to pay
Doomsday has returned
As the world burns
5. Toxic Trace
Pesticide in torrents, how fast it flows
Total pollution the earth can't stand much longer
Chemical industry brings new diseases
The fear of self-destruction is growing stronger
Nuclear waste in an uncontrolled deluge
Reduces the earth to an airless planet
Reformation lies far away
Now is your only chance to save it
Contamination in every place
Condemn the human race
Everything will decay
Broken down by toxic trace
New plagues have come and soon there'll be more
Apocalypse not for the first time
Suppression is alive and that's for sure
Everyone will be annihilated
Enforcement of the last eclipse
Can't ignore predictions from the past
Ignore the warnings of ancient Prophets
Every minute of your life could be your last
Contamination in every place
Condemn the human race
Everything will decay
Broken down by toxic trace
Metamorphoses of the earth to a lifeless desert
Voracity for richness, ruin of Mankind
Craving more and more, to the world's Requiem
This is the earth's last century
Now depravation from things that count, to make an easier life
for me
Total confusions for the non-believers who ignore the writings
on the wall
Times of suffering for everyone, no-one can hide from reality
Social injustice will be no more, without exception, devastate
all
Times have changed from the past to now
The earth is mankind's subject
Perfect creation stands over all
Experimenting with lethal objects
Domination, submission, demand for more
De-humanizes the brains of the rulers
What gives them the right to menace us all
This time will come but then it will be too late
6. No Escape
Treacherous without compassion
You sought expression through them all
Sadistic and perverted urges
Dictated they had to fall
Spent your youth in reformatories
Where you're hate grew day by day
Molested and subjugated
Satisfying them in their way
Victim of your drives
Personification of insanity
No escape [X2]
You can't control the instincts inside
Never, there is no escape
You feel no guilt for what you've done
You never thought it was a crime
Following you're nature
There was never malice meant that time
Can't understand the hate against you
Can't they see that you were right?
You must obey those powerful feelings
Coming from inside
Victim of your drives
Personification of insanity
No escape [X2]
You can't control the instincts inside
Never, there is no escape
Let me live my own life
Leave me be, let me satisfy my drives
I don't care what they feel
When I was young no-one ever cared about me
Treacherous without compassion
You sought expression through them all
Sadistic and perverted urges
Dictated they had to fall
It makes no difference who you...
It won't change - you will see
So many lives lost, psychopath
Cured you'll never be
7. One Of Us
See the sun for the last time
Remember - make your will before you come to this place
Choose your weapons and I'll take mine
Me or you, no-one knows, we stare into death's face
Hit him right between the eyes
Only one of us will leave this place alone
One of us! [X2]
Beg for mercy and I'll spit at you
Say goodbye to everything and everyone you loved
A violent death is what you have to face
I'm here to terminate, your soul will rise above
Hit him right between the eyes
Only one of us will leave this place alone
One of us! [X2]
Now take ten steps and turn
Today there's no return
You've got only one try
Today one of us will die
Sweat is running down your neck
As you wait for my attack
Your final minute draws near
You won't feel pain as you die
Hit him right between the eyes
Only one of us will leave this place alone [Sings the last line instead]
One of us [X2]
I'm the one who leaves this place alive (Se above...)
8. Behind The Mirror
Entering a part of your mind
Where reality is lost and time stands still
Dreams and nightmares are one
Only hell knows if this is real
No human being has been here before
Not a single soul has seen this before, you are
Entering a new world and you are the first
The mysteries of life becoming clearer
Behind the mirror [X2]
Flying through the black hole
Things look strange in this new dimension
You expected a brave new world
But what is this - only hate and destruction
No love, no hope only weakness and violence
When you return reality carries on for you
Nothing can help you escape from this world
A place of hate and terror
Behind the mirror [X2]
Born in this world of hate
You try to escape through
The dimensions you made, trying and trying (again)
Scared of live you exist in endless fear
[Last part of second verse repeated]
