Начало начал! Именно этот альбом и эта группа положила начало победному шествию дэт-метала к трону короля металлической музыки. Само название стиля происходит от последнего трека этого альбома. Т.е. вопреки широко распространенному мнению о создании стиля дэт-метал группой Death, именно Possessed являются отцами этого стиля с альбомом Seven Churches, выпущенным на 2 года ранее Scream Bloody Gore. Теперь, собственно, о музыке. Естественно, в 1985-м году трудно ожидать от заново зародившегося стиля чудес техники исполнения. Нет, перед нами классический дэт а-ля Obituary и ранний Death, с примитивными спид-трэшевыми риффами, очень тяжелым саундом и характерным для классического дэта душераздирающим вокалом (схожим с вокалом Тарди из Obituary). Бласт-биты, естественно, отсутствуют ввиду того, что Napalm Death популяризируют их только год спустя после выхода этого альбома. Песни мало отличимые друг от друга, но надо учесть, что в 85-м году такого еще не играл никто. Разве что Sepultura на Bestial Devastations. Таким образом, альбом с точки зрения техники игры не представляет ценности для музыкантов, но имеет колоссальное историческое значение, как краеугольный камень жанра дэт-метал. |

Вот это ДА-А! Вот уж я не ожидал! Почему еще нет рецензии на этот почти эпохальный альбом не менее значимой группы, название которой - POSSESSED?
Ну ладно, буду первым, так сказать, первопроходцем. "Seven Churches", я считаю, утвердил каноны всего стиля death metal. Именно Possessed начали играть болле агрессивную, быструю и тяжелую музыку, в отличии от тех же Metallica и Megadeth. Разве что Slayer мог тогда посоперничать с ними. Слушается на одном дыхании с заглавной до последней песни. Кстати, именно из последнего трека возник термин - "Death-Metal". Ревущий и хриплый вокал Майка Торрао просто убивает наповал. Изумительные скоростные гитарные риффы с классными соляками и сокрушительные барабанные партии дают возможность окунуться в ту ностальгическую атмосферу. Неплохая работа продюссера Рэнди Бернса обеспечила альбому хорошую продаваемость. Жаль, что в последующих альбомах группа уйдет от дэтового звучания в сторону трэша, а на последнем ЕР-шнике вообще перестала присутствовать фирменная фишка группы - сатанизм, и именно это (как считают многие) стало причиной распада команды. Но все равно забывать о нем нельзя потому, что это истоки и базис. "Семь Церквей" - это классический альбом классической группы. А классика - БЕССМЕРТНА!!! Отсюда и оценка - 10 б. |

Hatred hell within
Sinners hate will die
The Exorcist
I can see the light
I don't want to burn
Help me save my soul
Let me live
Your curse is not my fear
Demons within me hear
I will escape your wrath
666
This is not my way,
Doom, sorrow for eternity
Lights shine below in hell
Forever burning
Words of insanity
Scream out the final plea
Evil voices scream out
Help me!
Demons in my body gone
Sicken thoughts left beyond
Haunted by evil memories
Nightmares and sin
My mind is burnt and black
Shadowed, no way back
Fear of living in hell
Axed my mind
Memories held within
Satan's gone in sin
Grasping to relieve the pain
Scarred for life
Exorcism takes control
Beneath my body help my soul
Save my soul from evil hell
Your spell is lost
Pentagram
There's a sacred city not far from here
Where the Earth is bare and the sky is black
Tormented souls are stricken with fear
And the sinners all know there's no way back
Fly into the Pentagram
There's a lot you'll want to see
Sacrifice the crying ram
And drink the blood with me
Giant kingdom down below
Where the lord of darkness sits and waits
For a poor lost mortal to come in
When he lowers down his gates
Prison of death where time stands still
Forever life of pain
Walking dead assault and kill
The people will be slain
There's a sacred city not far from here
Where the Earth is bare and the sky is black
Tormented souls are stricken with fear
And the sinners all know there's no way back
Giant kingdom down below
Where the lord of darkness sits and waits
For a poor lost mortal to come in
When he lowers down his gates
You can't escape your destiny
So take my hand and fly
To an evil land of fantasy
Inside of Satan's eye
Burning in Hell
Death has beckoned you to hell
You can't escape my evil spell
Past the gates, evil fate
Into the depths cast to burn
Unseen terror life of doom
Tragic, black magic
Sorrow in your afterlife
Victim of your sins tonight
My grasp will last
Nightmares of eternity
Forgotten souls and tyranny
You lived, now die
No life no death no future here
Infinite horror screams of fear
Your flesh, decayed
Run and hide there's no relief
Pounding hearts is full of grief
Screams, dreams
No one hears you scream at night
Demons own your soul with might
Illusions, delusions
Roasted in the flames of hell
Beware the cast the evil spell
Burning, yearning
Dreams become reality
You can't outlive infinity
Burning in Hell
Prowling through the night
Like a bad dream
Stalking out your prey
Hear the victims scream
Driven by the vision
Ruling your domain
Lurking in the shadows
Driving you insane
Know that you're not crazy
Nothing you remember
Mind is so blank
And your thoughts become a hinder
Know there's something evil
Hiding in your mind
Waiting for the moment
To sneak up from behind
Death has beckoned you to hell
You can't escape my evil spell
Past the gates, evil fate
Into the depths cast to burn
Unseen terror life of doom
Tragic, black magic
Sorrow in your afterlife
Victim of your sins tonight
My grasp will last
Nightmares of eternity
Forgotten souls and tyranny
You lived, now die
No life no death no future here
Infinite horror screams of fear
Your flesh, decayed
Run and hide there's no relief
Pounding hearts is full of grief
Burning in Hell
Evil Warriors
When you wake up in the night
And you stare into the dark
Your eyes will scream for sight
Evil left its mark
You'll be looking all above
Looking all around
But if you want to see them
You'll have to look down
Tortured by thoughts
Stricken by fear
Blasted to Hell
The end is near
As you wait upon your fate
Your throat is full of pain
And when you try to scream
You know it's all in vain
Nothing you can change
Destiny is complete
Silence seems so strange
And you start to feel the heat
Forever to burn
Infinite pain
Demons of darkness
Warriors domain
[Solo: Larry]
You think you're so secure
Protected from above
Gaze into the hell fire
I know you'll fall in love
They'll hunt you down at night
Your flesh is what they want
Your eyes will scream for sight
When evil comes to haunt
Cursed by nightmares
When you sleep
They'll cut your throat
And blood will seep
Fighting through the mist
Forever trapped in Hell
Crushed with Satan's fist
You can't escape his spell
Sanity will pass
Reality is just a word
Evil does its task
With its mighty sword
Open your eyes and die
By the hand of mass
Escape and you'll defy
My long awaited grasp
They want to steal your soul
Death will steal away
Your wrongs will take their toll
Below the crust you'll lay
Spell has cast no hope
Forgotten thoughts of good
Your neck awaits a rope
And things go like they should
Enslaved in forever torment
Blood drips from your eyes
There is no way to repent
From your wicked lies
Blades of steel
Cut off your head
Served as a meal
Satan is fed
Masters of evil
Blasters of Hell
No one can stop them
We're under their spell
Red eyes are glowing
With you in sight
And if you're knowing
Scream out in fright
Seven Churches
Seven churches down in hell
In the land where Satan fell
Vows of Satan's sacred scripts
Bring out the evil from its crypts
Seven churches
Seven priests
Seven hearts on which they feast
Watch the gods take revenge
Rot in hell for your sins
Sacrifice, to the sky
Terror strikes, you will die
Taste the blood of the dead
As the sky turns to red
Rot in heaven, rot in hell
Reach for the land from which he fell
Seven bibles
Seven crosses
Seven saints mourn for their losses
Watch the gods take revenge
Rot in hell for your sins
Sacrifice, to the sky
Terror strikes, you will die
Holy water turned to blood
Destroy the earth devil's flood
Pounding death from my hands
Spreading Satan through the lands
Seven prayers
Seven bells
Seven churches rise from hell
Watch the gods take revenge
Rot in hell for your sins
Sacrifice, to the sky
Terror strikes, you will die
Satan's Curse
Hell, evil, Satan's curse
From the sky it falls
Metal burns my fucking brain
Satan took the fall
Deceased men from hell and hatred
Pollution to mankind
Antichrist my son from hell
I will make you mine
You'll die there's no time to run from hell
You lied the witch has cast her spell
Your sins will be paid for and sacrificed
This is the price - Satan's curse
Sin, hate, eternal death
Decayed my flesh I rot
Running below Satan's home
Lord of Hell he's not
Lust for evil, son of Hell
Beneath the smoke I rise
Flames torch my body
A sinner's solar eyes
Sacrifice your soul will be doomed
Your evil friends who have deceived you
Satan's curse enters your soul
Beneath you'll burn - Satan's curse
Sky fades to black
As the heavens diminish
Evil takes over
The world is finished
Hell, evil, Satan's curse
From the sky it falls
Metal burns my fucking brain
Satan took the fall
Deceased men from hell and hatred
Pollution to mankind
Antichrist my son from hell
I will make you mine
You'll die there's no time to run from hell
You lied the witch has cast her spell
Your sins will be paid for and sacrificed
This is the price - Satan's curse
Holy Hell
Holy Hell, death to us
Satan's fell, unholy lust
Devil's water starts to flood
God is slaughtered, drink his blood
Our bonding, trust is at hand
Go we must, to Satan's land
Pray for death, and cry for life
Reaper's breath will breathe new life
Satan's child, he is born
And to death he is sworn
Days of hate, and days of pain
Endless term of Satan's reign
Endless dreams, in the night
Eternal sleep, eternal fright
Defiled crosses, oh black mass
Satan's reigns, me at last
All of Heaven, all of earth
You'll meet your god
Chained to torment, chained to pain
Like a dog
Evil days and evil nights
Are black as death
Hearts of sinners, hearts of stone
Reaper's breath
There was blood and there was pain
Ecstacy
Rage of magic, rage of witches
Sorcery
Feel the power, feel the heat
Down Below
Kill the people, kill them dead
Take their soul
Blackened masses, blackened crosses
Ritual
Cut the heads, cut the throats
Take the fall
Twisted Minds
Twisting my mind, insane
Ripping our your brain, you're slain
Grieving the sunset, terror
And your last breath is nearer
Revenge
Draining your soul out, bloodless
Awaiting the final sentence
Grasping your last piece of mind
Slip into madness, our kind
Revenge
Life is strange, it's one big game
Live or dead, it's all the same
Hidden secrets inside my head
Decaying bodies, my blade is red
Rotting world, so full of clones
Sickening feeling inside my bones
Madness creeps up from behind
Sanity is drained, my state of mind
Mentally insane
Maladjusted minds
Lunacy within
Evil twisted minds
Cast my wishes from the grave
Below the Earth, my body enslaved
Cults of people down in Hell
Skulls are splitting from their spell
Forgotten souls arise at night
Rule the world with unchallenged might
The sun sets into the sea of blood
Chanting Satan as they drone
Mentally insane
Maladjusted minds
Lunacy within
Evil fucking minds
Fallen Angel
Deceiving angel full of hate
Outcasts will rebel
Below the crust, the dark kingdom
Also known as Hell
Fallen angel distrusts God
Exiled down below
His burning lust to power all
Starts his own domain
Poisoned minds
Evil plague
Wicked shrines
Where you beg
Merciless
Angel fell
Soul won't rest
Into Hell
Flames of fury burning hot
Glowing in his eyes
Down below forever rot
Until his soul can rise
Hellsent souls become his slaves
Working against all
Bringing pain the master raves
Lucifer they call
Poisoned minds
Evil plague
Wicked shrines
Where you beg
Merciless
Angel fell
Soul won't rest
Into Hell
Death Metal
Arise from the dead
Attack from the grave
The killing won't stop 'til first light
We'll bring you to hell
Because we want to enslave
Your soul will be frozen with fright
We'll break through the crust
Leave from our crypts
Protected by eternal life
Lay down the laws
From our satanic scripts
Bringing you nothing but strife
Death Metal
Death Metal
Ruling your cities
Controlling your towns
Entrapped in your worst nightmare
Piercing your ears
With a horrible sound
Casting my elusive stare
Lucifer laughs
His needs are fulfilled
The flames are now burning hot
Bodies are burning
The people are killed
Torture the reason we fought
Death Metal
Death Metal
Kill them pigs
Now we take over
And rule by Death Metal
Enjoy our long-waited reign
Blood's what we want
And we won't settle
Until we drive you insane
Attacking the young,
Killing the old
Bleeding with every heartbeat
Darkness has fallen
And your soul is sold
Claws will dig into your meat
When the sun doesn't rise
And the day is like night
Know that your life is at its end
Rendered helpless
So scream out in fright
Death Metal came in the wind
Death Metal
Death Metal
