| 2. Eternal War
Through man's existance, from the start of time
The fight for survival is our only crime
Those in power, rotten to the core
The ongoing battle of the eternal war
What are you fighting for? Is it worth dying for?
You're held down by your chains, there's no-one but you to

Действительно, альбом потрясный. И хочется заметить - на дворе стоял 1989 год, когда диск увидел свет. Death metal только начал формироваться и поэтому большинство альбомов в это время было сделано из дерьма и свиста, т.к. определенных параметров классификации направления не было. И вследствие этого альбом Bolt Thrower явил собой довольно тяжелый death metal, правда, с трэшевыми риффами. Стиль исполнения у группы очень интересный, потому что основная гитара настроена довольно низко, а другая прорезает воздух какими то невообразимыми короткими мотивчиками. Все это закрепляется довольно неплохими барабанными партиями. Трэшевые риффы, напротив, придают альбому какую-то особенную забористость и агрессию, а определенная немножко гнетущая и мрачная дэтовая атмосфера подкрепляет общую обстановку «военных действий». Вокал очень неплох, хотя я не являюсь большим любителем такой не особо эмоциональной манеры исполнения, однако должен признать, что брутальность его на очень высоком уровне. Это вокал не животного и не загнанного в ловушку зверя, а мощнейший голос человека, который поёт об ужасах войны. Запись альбома произведена довольно качественно, и в принципе диск богат на довольно неплохие аранжировки. Видно, что эта работа сделана с умом и со вкусом, поэтому оценка высокая.
Думаю, диск обязательно удовлетворит всех любителей этого экстремального направления, так что вперед в магазин для того, чтобы объявить соседям небольшую войнушку. |

Второй по счёту альбом легендарных и неповторимых болтов выдался довольно хорошим, даже больше того – отличным. Басистый рёв вокалиста, ожесточённые гитарные риффы вкупе с пулеметными очередями ударных, составляет сверх тяжёлую, но в меру мелодичную, музыку «болтов». Хочу сказать, что альбом получился очень зверский: в нём мягко сочетаются агрессия, тяжесть, и мелодия. На протяжении всего альбома будут звучать короткие, но очень быстрые соло, которые забыть просто невозможно. Так же стоит отметить тематику группы: война. Все их песни сводятся к одному: зачем воевать? Ну, это правильно. Стоит отметить, что группа со времен выхода первого альбома заметно подросла: качество записи, структура композиций, в конце концов, обложка. Оформление пластинки передаёт всю атмосферу этого альбома: страшное месилово. Ну дальше описывать бессмысленно, это надо слушать, слушать и ещё раз слушать, и восхищаться... Мастхэв. |

Fighting, destroying, following blind
Crushing, corrupting, enslaving mankind
What's now left - you can't believe
Oppression those in power, send to deceive
Slave to hatred, peace they deplore
Driven by despair, eternal war
Rebuild humanity to create a new society
For there's strength in unity which lies with you
Can't you see
3. Through The Eye Of Terror
Humanity prevails, through the eye of terror
A twisted reality - mutilated eternally
Here now you shall stay to grow in strength return some day
To seek revenge on human prey, mutilated as your mind decays
Choas god took your soul, your destiny they control
Warp your foom with power untold, watch as your life unfolds
A warrior of chaos see, ripped apart internally
Now face unreality, destroy mankind totally
Through the eye of terror, a place no man dare go
Through the eye of terror, worlds of chaos overflow
For in the eye of terror, power of chaos wait
To bring mankind's destruction, they come to seal your fate
Lost now for ageless time, soon your gods shall give you the sign
Unleash the power, vengeful wrath, destroying all within its path
Fall to your knees, and worship me
Your twisted minds - reality
As vengeance takes its deathly hold
Watch as the darkness unfolds
I am your master - you are my son
I'll take your soul - now we'll be as one
Together we can rule the worlds
Watch as the darkness unfolds
The darkness unfolds
4. Dark Millennium
You feel confusion and new torment as your mind decays
Devolution of your life - begins today - begins today
Hear the sircas scream in vain
Despair for your life
Hope is futile as missiles strike
A cruel twist of the knife
Those that dominate, direct their hate
Life obliterate, humans terminate
Hope for a future, is what you say
With your world in ruins, what a price to pay
As you crawl through the wreckage - you can't believe
Could mankind really be so naive
This world now twisted, brought to its knees
With the people in power left to oversee
A world totally deformed, no hope of being reborn
The heart from it now torn, this world now we all mourn
Look to the future, on your knees now pray
With this world in ruins, what a price to pay
Your world's now in ruins
What a price you paid
5. All That Remains
All that remains
Of your dying world
Lies crumbling, twisted ruins
From the ashes - none will return
Die
Shattered dreams forgotten
Body writhes in agony
Death bringing release now
From futile destiny
Through wreckage still burning
You look for signs of life
Find only rotting bodies
Scream in despair for mankind
Die
Realise it's no illusion
Only you remain
Smashed and torn reality
Now face unbearable pain
As the sun sets you are alone
In this world of destruction
Alone you must face this grim reality
Of life, or death
6. Lost Souls Domain
Driven now by fetid winds, we came to this place of despair
Fresh visions of death filled my mind with disgust
Yet still we stood here and stared
A world steeped in torment
Where agony prevails
With cruel sadistic torture
All hope of life now fades
The time has come, you have no choice, now you face your death
Choke at your last breath
Your mind now screams
Could it be you're insane
To live your life
Within the lost souls domain
Lost souls domain
Plead for mercy
To your gods now pray
For in this place
You now shall stay
No way out
Tripped within
This reign of terror
Shall now begin
Shall now begin
City of the damned - hear the screams cry out
The agony within - untold without a doubt
Feel your life - slipping through your hands
A new reality - held now by this land
7. Plague Bearer
Contamination - spreads throughout the world
Contagious evil - now that chaos takes its hold
Sadistic torture - warps your earthly form
Your blood now curdles - now to be reborn
You scream in pain - yet no-one hears a sound
Plead for redemtion - now by chaos you are bound
By chaos you are bound
Infectious disease
Feel your body rot
Your final lament
Will soon be forgot
Slow painful death
Dementing your brain
The tribulation
Driving you insane
8. World Eater
As silence roars through gathered masses
You stared waiting eagerly
Approaching darkness decreasing your life expectancy
The tension is now rising
The calm before the storm
See your life flash before you
Will you live to see the dawn?
The enemy is now approaching
With bloodlust in their eyes
Intense fear is overcoming
For now death - you will defy
As the battle raged all dead and wounded
Bodies, carnage all you see
The white hot blast - melting flesh
The screaming pain in agony
You stand alone
The final parody
As you realise - your mortality
For you cannot change your destiny
To die at the hands - of the unknown enemy
Your death - you can't deter
As the silence - returns
World-eater
9. Drowned In Torment
Pray in your dreams that tomorrow won't wake you
Plead for the darkness of life to forsake you
From death to new life the path that awaits you
You can't begin to start to bear the taste, the morning after dark
Close your eyes so that you can't see
The reality of your tormented agony
Drowned in torment your will shall break you
The scars of war remains to haunt you
Fell the cold hands of death grasping for you
As you drown in torment... drown
10. Realm Of Chaos
Enter the realm of chaos, your nightmare has just begun
You may wake up screaming, but there's no place left to run
The ancient prophecy of dominant supremacy
Find strength through your salvation, the need for domination
Past life you deplore, present life abhor
Future life is so unreal, intense despair now you feel
Mutated creatures round you stare, at your limbs they all tear
It's too late now to say a prayer, for your gods have no care
Welcome incursions of chaos, you know you cannot resist
To serve, worship, obey them - in the only way to exist
Your foretold destiny of perpetual lunacy
The final requisition is no longer your decision
The obscure deprivity blinds you, now you cannot see
What they've made of your world as your blood is turning cold
Now it's time to pay your pirce - the ultimate sacrifice
Gasp at your final breath - cleansed now in your death
Your death
