Такого мрачного и лихо закрученного материала от FaJ было трудно ожидать. Казалось бы, с начала 90-х они куда-то двигались, искали, делали при этом удачные шаги и позорно проваливались. И вот – в 2005-м году, когда играть трэш перестало быть постыдным занятием для далёких от реальности металлургов, они таки пришли к «Dreams of Death». А оный способен обрадовать каждого знакомого с творчеством FaJ и практически не оставляет не исполненных пожеланий. Он непривычно мрачен, тяжёл, там, где надо – тупо забоен, там, где надо – наполнен интеллигентными фишками и мелодиями. Всего в меру. А это бывает довольно редко. В некотором смысле, это, пожалуй, лучшее достижение группы со времён «Drift» (1995), где банде даже удалось ещё приподнять планку. Если кому-то это поможет, то FaJ напоминает свеженьких и бодрых Death Angel и смальца Faith No More в их лучшие времена. Возможно (да наверняка!), это заслуга нового гитариста в коллективе, Марка Симпсона. Риффинг стал ярче, соло просто искрятся. Единственное, что можно считать недостатком, так это то, что к концу альбома значительно снижается темп. Хотя это и даёт группе развернуться и конкретно поднажать мелодизмом и драматикой на слёзные и сопляные железы благодарной публики («Childhood Hero», «Bathing in Red» и «Nascentes Morimar»). После этого остаётся лишь припечатать слушателей сумрачным антирелигиозным эпосом «Out of Mind» и ещё одной акустической соплевыжималкой в виде hidden track, чтобы уж точно никому не показалось мало...
По пришествии в себя можно подытожить: шикарный по интенсивности и мелодике альбом олд-скульной группы. Все на ознакомление! |

Waking from another nightmare
It’s so hard to tell
Dreams are turning real and there's a blood bath
Straight to hell
I’m told - I’m a psycopath
????? - I’ll be in a paper ?????
Killing - somehow clears my mind
Willing - to do a little more each time
Waking from another nightmare
It’s so hard to tell
Dreams are turning real and there's a blood bath
Straight to hell
Never knowing if I’m really in reality
Never can tell if I am still asleep
Never knowing if I’m really in reality
Never can tell if I am still asleep
Never knowing if I need to - blame
Never to feel remorse or - shame
I never can remember what I do
I can't stop coming after you
Waking from another nightmare
It’s so hard to tell
Dreams are turning real and there's a blood bath
Straight to hell
Waking from another nightmare
It’s so hard to tell
Dreams are turning real and there's a blood bath
Straight to hell
3. Parasychic, Paranoid
I can see the writing in the sky
I can tell when someone's going to die
I can see the end is flying
I can tell when death is near
Parapsychic Paranoid
Parapsychic Paranoid
Parapsychic Paranoid
Parapsychic Paranoid
When I see things how I know when death will come
How can I be sure it's not just me?
Do I see a future or just a memory?
Do I see a future or just a memory?
It's a curse
It's a drug
A way of life a walk of shame
It's a torture
It's insane
And as I'm insane You're all dead
Parapsychic Paranoid
Parapsychic Paranoid
Parapsychic Paranoid
Parapsychic Paranoid
When I see things how I know when death will come
How can I be sure it's not just me?
Do I see a future or just a memory?
Do I see a future or just a memory?
4. Bleed
Knowledge alone is not what's consuming me
No one at home - even when I'm not asleep
Demons are chasing me
Knowing that I can't run
Teasing and taunting me
Round in my mind
Knowledge alone is not what's consuming
Bleed the mind
Drain to see what's inside
What will you find
Something you can't explain
Bleed the mind
Empty the thoughts from there
Asleep inside
Brain activity - rare
Demons are chasing me
Knowing that I can't run
Teasing and taunting me
Round in my mind
Bleed the mind
Until the head is turned
Search the soul - can't find morality
No one at home - lost deep inside my sleep
Search the soul - look past the hollow stare
Find my soul
Demons are chasing me
Knowing that I can't run
Teasing and taunting me
Round in my mind
Bleed the mind
Until the head is
Until the head is turned
5. Look In His Eyes
My fast heart is beating my soul cut and bleeding
My hells are too meeting with the man inside my brain
I tell him the all as I stand and I fall
And just to top it all I pay him for the task
My guts I am spilling I tell of the killings
With me at top billing I take off the mask
His jaw starts a dropping I say there's no stopping
The blood I'll be mopping right there on his couch
Another time he'll ask me what it is I'm thinking
And I will have to show him I long to see him dead
The walls dripping red from the axe in his head
And I'm sure now he's dead by the look in his eyes
Put me to sleep and hypnotize see the dead stare in my eyes
Let your guard down when you try to get inside my head
Dive in deep into my mind wonder all the things you'll find
A war is up your death is signed session over-dead
I think I'm starting to go crazy over wanting to kill
I think I'll never stop the craving to see blood start to spill
I see the outcome when your heart stops beating and I start to sweat
I love the moment when you're dead but haven't taken your last breath
The cops busting in in the middle of my sin
I stop and start to grin as I see the bodies fly
In my mind I kill them all heads will roll and bodies fall
Blood and guts and that is all that you can recognize
I come back from a daydream open eyes and start to scream
What does all this gore mean is it really real or not
Splash my face and rub my eyes maybe noone really dies
Open up to realize its all inside my head
I think I'm starting to go crazy over wanting to kill
I think I'll never stop the craving to see blood start to spill
I see the outcome when your heart stops beating and I start to sweat
I love the moment when you're dead but haven't taken your last breath
I think I'm starting to go crazy over wanting to kill
I think I'll never stop the craving to see blood start to spill
I think I'm starting to go crazy over wanting to kill
I think I'll never stop the craving to see blood start to spill
I see the outcome when your heart stops beating and I start to sweat
I love the moment when you're dead but haven't taken your last breath yet
6. Childhood Hero
When I couldn't sleep
When I saw shadows moving
When I had to cry
I was afraid of the unknown
When I wasn't sure of where my next footstep would fall
He was always there
When I did some things out of my mind
When I let my life stray out of line
When I put myself in danger
When I just didn't care
He was my knight in shining gear
He was my strength to face the fear
My booming voice of reason
Now my childhood hero down
I don't even know who's there anymore
He came walking right on in through my door
Through my door
All I remember is a demons attack
I had to protect myself from coming back
Coming back
Felt the pain of evil wrapping hands around my throat
Couldn't run away cause both my legs had been broke
Grab a gun and shoot into the dark to save my life
Didn't know what I had done til I turned on the light
Childhood hero down
Oh my God what have I done
Childhood hero down
It's just a dream that's in my head
Not just your father figure lifeless on the floor
He never should have just come walking through my door
I have to battle all the demons in my sleep
This is the company I keep that I keep
Felt the pain of evil wrapping hands around my throat
Couldn't run away cause both my legs had been broke
Grab a gun and shoot into the dark to save my life
Didn't know what I had done til I turned on the light
Childhood hero down
Oh my God what have I done
Childhood hero down
It's just a dream that's in my head
Childhood hero down
Memories and brains upon the wall
Childhood hero down
It's just a dream that's in my head
Why are all my loved ones dead
Childhood hero down
Oh my God what have I done
A shot in the dark has killed the one I love
Childhood hero down
Daddy what were you doing in my room
When I was dreaming death and doom
Childhood hero down
Memories and brains upon the wall
Watching my childhood evil fall
Childhood hero down
It's just a dream that's in my head
Why are all my loved ones dead-dead
7. Bathing In Red
If you come to close
While I'm sleeping
Or host of a nightmare
Don't feed me the blame
You're there every night in my head
Right in my sight as I cut the skin
And lead you to shame
As we hold and make love
I slip on a glove
So I won't stain my hands
As I take you away
When I focus my brain
I see you in vain
I see you bathing in red
And I can't believe
Your killer is me
And I hit my knees
And start to cry
I keep running and hiding and crying
And falling and trying to get away
Screaming and yelling and calling for help
As you die in my arms once again
As I wake in a sweat
Thank God it hasn't happened yet
And I run to you
But you got to close
When I focus my brain
I see you in pain
I see you bathing in red
And I can't believe
Your killer is me
And I hit my knees
And start to cry
I keep running and hiding and crying
And falling and trying to get away
Screaming and yelling and calling for help
As you die in my arms once again
I keep running and hiding and crying
And falling and trying to get away
Screaming and yelling and calling for help
As your running and hiding
And trying to get away
Screaming and yelling and calling for help
As you die in my arms once again
8. Nascentes Morimar
[Instrumental]
9. Out Of Mind
I can see pieces of memory spitting
Like sparks from a gun that's been fired and hitting
The skull of the soul who was so unsuspecting
And the look in his eye as he's feeling the burn
I can hear flesh as it's being infected
From hot burning lead thats been flying so fast
The sound of the sting as it melts through the skin
And the intake of air that just may be his last
It's happening again
The sleep in my eye is dry blood
It's happening again
I can't hold it back
Hold me
Hold me closer
Tell me
That everything will be fine
Hold me
Hold me closer
Tell me
That I'm not outta my mind
Went to a priest to see what he could tell me
Bout all of the evil that swims in my head
Well I think that his voice had been very relaxing
Cause I fell asleep - now the Father is dead
I started to worry bout what's up ahead
Will I knock on the door of Heaven when I'm dead
Will they know it's not me that I'm not a killer
I don't even know what I did while I'm out
It's happening again
The sleep in my eye is dry blood
It's happening again
I can't hold it back
Show me
Show me reasons
Tell me
Why it's wrong to take lives
Show me
Show me more
Tell me
Why I'm not outta my mind
[Bible passage]
Show me
Show me reasons
Tell me
Why it's wrong to take lives
Show me
Show me more
Tell me
Why I'm not outta my mind
