 До сегодняшнего времени я, как и подавляющее большинство меломанов, был весьма поверхностно знаком с мадьярской (венгерской) экстремальной музыкой. Хотя географически венгры являются соседями украинцев и ряда западнославянских народов, но в этническом и культурном аспектах наши народы разделяет громадная пропасть. Дело в том, что венгры - далеко не братские нам славяне и даже не европейцы, а, как это не удивительно звучит, азиаты, т.к. относятся не к большой индо-европейской семье народов, а к уральской, финно-угорской. Таким образом, ближайшими родственниками венгров являются, как ни странно, известные всем виртуозы экстремальной музыки - финны и эстонцы, ну, и менее известные лопари, карелы, марийцы, ханты, коми, манси и прочие малочисленные народы севера.
Музыка Sear Bliss на альбоме "Forsaken Symphony" представляет собой мелодичный, подчас скоростной, а подчас средне темповый atmospheric black, с заметной азиатской этнической окраской. При этом привычный для этого стиля "смазанный" рокот гитар на фоне "задумчивых клавиш" сопровождает полноценная духовая секция, которая придает исполняемой группой музыке эпический и даже героический характер. В итоге вся музыка приобретает явно боевую, но как бы пропущенную через долгие века и космические пространства и, от этого потускневшую, варварскую атмосферу.
Вывод: Оригинальная работа, не имеющая даже приблизительных аналогов в мировой экстремальной музыке. И еще раз отмечу крайне удачное и талантливое применение духовой секции в металлической музыке в отличии от москвичей Rossomahaar. |

I will look you in the eye
Break your will and destroy your weapons
I will bury you under earth and ice
Fire brought heroic inspiration to fight
Unmarked graves will hold our enemies forever.
Demonic fear squeezes hearts
We bring darkness and weaken the soul
But the face of death
Advances on me
Steel or armour
No longer protect me
But no fear in me as we clash!
2. My Journey To The Stars
Am I ruling in hell?
Or is it just a dream so cruel
I have taken the hands
Of the most magnificent doom
Blindly I'm seeking for the wisdom of truth
With persistence untold
I'm standing in a lake of warm blood
Yet my visions are cold
I see cliffs and peaks licking the sky
And deep cold lakes
With the universe their bottoms unite
Cosmic forces gave me the strength
To take my journey
And to be one with the stars
I was a demonfaced man
But now I'm a manfaced demon
Look at me and this face
Bathed in the silvery moonlight
I admire the splendour
But it's getting pale as I leave it behind
Now the sparking stars are the only light
But their shining still as cold as ice
I died a thousand times
Yet I believe in thanatism
So I avoid the realms of bliss
In the search of utter end
May the darkest space be my tomb
And may my blood paint the stars
Lifeless I drift far
But I reborn in the shape of emptiness
3. She Will Return
Through the night
Dreams elude me
Wide eyed, alert and sane
I stare into the heart of darkness
Waiting, inhaling
Exhaling, dying
She will return to me
I live colourless days
The sky lightless and pale
I envy the living
The star-crossed lovers
Of hope and life
Waiting, inhaling
Exhaling, dying
She will return to me
Lying here motionless
My eyes wide open
With a torn and naked heart
I long through the threshold of pain
I left open the gates of hate
Allowed emptiness to come in
Desperation weigh me down
Falling like an angel...
4. The Vanishing
Still I feel lost
In this chaotic world of hypocrisy
The memories still haunting me
And the voices echoing between
The grey walls of my mind
With a bleak smile on my face I feast
As I still mourn the past
I watch as the naked leaves fall
And rigid branches crackle under my feet
I will return to the peace I so long forgot
Regression and progression are the same
In this state of suspended animation
Heartless I lie on the coldest ground
...Night is too bright for me
I learnt much of the lies
I have seen witches burning on stakes
I will never smell the fresh air again
My vision is blurred with fine hoarfrost
The horrendous truth
It blurred my vision
I glance (at you) with empty eyes
As I vanish into thick fog
I realize that
Night is too bright for me...
5. The Forsaken
...In the coldest chamber
Of my mind
A place
Which never saw
The beams of light
Never felt the touch of Sun
I am aware what dwells within
I faced the impossible
Thus an eidolon I became
Transfixed with the blade of immortality
I am inaccessible
Roaming upon aeons
Holding the secrets of ages
And the ageless wisdom of eternity
I take a look at the past
All I feel is bitterness
Emptiness surrounding me
Is this grand destiny?
6. When Death Comes
I beheld an awful sight
With abysmal woe in my heart
Into blackest mystery I dive
Among fools and in despair I lived my life
Now I'm longing for the time to come to depart
The years rolled away
Now my days are numbered
The hours vanishing away
Soon I will visit that place below
Among the living I have nothing more to experience
With profane rites I enhance my longing and willing
Gates are opening in the gathering darkness
I leave this mortal coil to enter the endless depths
I behold a grim sight
Forgetting the taste of pain in my mind
Everything came to an end
All I hate in this world is over
No more lands, religions, kings and boundaries
The battle is for eternity now!
No more years, neither days nor hours
Time has lost its meaning
7. Eternal Battlefields
On the battlefield
The carnage is done
Heroes, broken and dead
Lying in the mud
But I look up to the sky
Ready not to die
The sky above me is gray
My blade is drawn
It's getting dark
I see the shades of my enemies
They gather by the thousands
Darkness encircles us all
My sword is drawn
For the very last time
They're sharpening their claws
Screams and thunder
Their claws ripping my flesh
It is the greatest day
As I won't retreat or surrender
My body falls to the ground
Their teeth tear my flesh
Eyes, burning with madness
Teeth bloody, I've heard
The crunching of my bones
I die!
Enshrouded in fog I'm marching
With great warriors of past
Among the slain I wander
I look up to the sky
Filled with stars
I became one with them
8. Enthralling Mystery
Between two worlds
Here I'm standing in a shower of arrows
Watching as my spirit departs
As though I walked the path of inferno
(You can) Take my soul, take my life
My spirit with the cosmos unites
I feel the blackness devouring me
I see my destiny clearly
I remained all alone
With my odium unfathomable
I soar high on the stellar vault
Towards a mystic vortex I flee
Where I'll be engulfed
By the most sombre gloom I've ever seen
I'm bleeding from a thousand wounds
I cannot hide, I will look you in the eye
My lood gushing forth
The time has come to the last sacrifice
Storm of blood, storm of wrath
There are things no one could understand
I'm facing demons surrounding me
They eat my flesh, eat my soul
I'll be one with them
I see planets with stars collide
The immensity of its power enthralling me
My path has come to an end
Future holds nothing for me
I've seen everything I had to see
I've been everywhere I had to be
9. The Hour Of Burning
Threatening clouds darken my sky
The air is filled with infernal heat
Wicked flames are longing to taste
Her witching body
Ghastly voices echo in the dusk
Faceless demons waiting for their feast to come
When the dark sky is about to open
Despair and horror everywhere
The terrific visions became reality
There's no way to escape
It is the utter end
Memories fade away
Like when mountain disappear
In thick haze
Despair and horror everywhere
The time has come to understand
The lethal wisdom of hell
The angry flames like hungry wolves bite the flesh
They're licking her with ecstatic lust
Time passes slowly when she is devoured by fire
Only fine ashes you leave
But your spirit unseen flies away
Time and space do no more restrain
You step out on the way of stars again
Step out on the way of stars again...
