METAL HISTORY

Povijest metala...odakle poceti? Od trenutka kada su prvi puta gitaru ustekali u struju? Od Elvisa, kralja Rock 'n' Rolla? Od crnaca koji su prije koju stotinu godina rintali na plantazama pamuka gdje su svojim pjevanjem postavljali temelje jazza i bluesa? Ili pak, malo blize ovamo u povijesti osnivanjem bandova poput Black Sabbath ili Deep Purple? Ne znam tocno, ali definitivno je da, iako to mi mozda isprva necemo htjeti priznati, metal ima svoje korijene duboko ukopane u neke svjetski rasirene stilove koji danas nemaju puno veze s metalom (iako dodirnih tocaka ima, ali o njima poslije): jazz, rock 'n' roll, klasicna glazba, punk itd.
Nemojmo ici predaleko u povijest nego se vratimo u pedesete godine proslog stoljeca kada je mladac imenom Elvis Presley (i naravno, glazbena industrija iza njega) svojom gitarom i karakteristicnim nacinom plesa dovodio ljepsu stranu populacije u predorgazmicka stanja i, puno, puno vaznije, utemeljio rock 'n' roll i prosirio njegovu popularnost, kao i popularnost gitare u neslucene visine. Pocelo se stvarati rock trziste (pri cemu ne smijemo mijesati glazbu koju danas smatramo rockom i rock glazbu prije pedeset godina; ako ste ikada culi Elvisa ili neke druge tadasnje gitaristicke heroje, znat cete o cemu pricam). Medjutim, tadasnji rock zasigurno ne bi bio tako popularan da nije sadrzavao odredjenu buntovnost. Mladi zeljni promjena, vlastitog nacina zivota i izrazavanja posezali su upravo za onim zabranjenim i tabuima. A to je upravo pruzao r'n'r koji je u pocecima bio doslovno zabranjivan od tradicionalnijeg dijela populacije kojemu je rock bio preglasna glazba, a ples dovodjen u vezu s njime previse eksplicitan i prost cime je automatski predstavljao magnet za mladju populaciju. Odredjenu buntovnost rock i metal zadrzali su i do danas, iako u manjim razmjerima. U daljnjem razvoju rocka, kao relevantne mozemo navesti gotovo sve poznate i nepoznate umjetnike koji su se izrazavali kroz gitaru i tako oslobadjali svoju kreativnost. Mozemo navesti: The Who, Boba Dylana, Beatlese (kojim rock/pop definitivno postaje svjetska manija i oslobadja se lanaca koje su mu nametnuli tradicionalisti), Erica Claptona (prvenstveno kroz djelovanje grupe Cream), Grateful Dead itd itd.
Neobicno vazna osoba rocka definitivno je Jimi Hendrix, samouki gitaristicki ljevak i genij, koji dovodi u vezu elemente 'crnog' zvuka (bluesa, mnoge oblike jazza) sa elektricnom gitarom. Njegov karakteristicni nacin sviranja otvara potpuno nove poglede na nacine uporabe gitare. Vazna je i cinjenica da je Hendrix dosao sa americkih ulica, iz srednjeg, siromasnijeg staleza, te pruzio primjer mladima da se u zivotu moze uspjeti i na takav nacin. U vezu s rock glazbom pocinje se dovoditi i droga, alkohol, mnogi ekscesi i poroci koji su redovito uzimali danak u zivotima popularnih. Spomenimo samo Hendrixa, Presleya i Morrisona.
Sezdesete godine su bile mozda i presudne za rock glazbu. Tijekom tih deset godina osnovano je mnostvo bandova koji su gajili vlastite glazbene stilove, vlastite imidze i svaka je uvodila neku novost u svijet glazbe. Mozemo reci da se u sezdesetima (zadnje godine) rodio heavy metal, i od onda se racuna njegovo postojanje kao glazbenog pravca. Neki bandovi: Rolling Stones (od prve polovice sezdesetih do dana danasnjih bili su sinonim za neuredan zvuk i ekscese), The Doors, Alice Cooper (prvi predstavnik tzv. shock-rocka), Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top, Deep Purple, naravno Black Sabbath. Svaka od spomenutih grupa imala je svoju karakteristicnu liniju. Glazbenici poput Keitha Richardsa, Jima Morrisona, spomenutog Coopera, Ritchie Blackmora, Pagea i Planta, Iana Gillana,Tony Iommia i Ozzy Osbournea predstavljali su individualne stilove glazbenog izrazavanja kojim su izravno inspirirali mnoge glazbenike metala.
Legendarna britanska skupina Black Sabbath smatra se utemeljiteljem heavy metala. Kontroverzni pjevac Ozzy Osbourne svojim vokalom, tekstovima koji su cesto granicili s okultizmom i spiritizmom, eksplicitnim izjavama, provokativnim imidzom i nastupima (sjetimo se samo odgrizene sismiseve glave na koncertu koja ga je inficirala bjesnocom), Tony Iommi koji se smatra prvim gitaristom heavy metala i najboljim riff majstorom i ritamska podloga Butler/Ward izdala je mnogo odlicnih albuma na kojima susrecemo tada najzesce dionice koje su se uopce mogle cuti u glazbi, te se, osim heavy metala, smatraju utemeljiteljem dooma i stoner-rocka. Njihova glazba postaje puno cvrsca, orijentirana prvenstveno na (jednostavne) gitarske riffove i glasnu ritamsku sekciju. Black Sabbath stekao je svjetsku popularnost koja je bila zacinjena, standardno, drogama i alkoholom, ali i nerijetkim promjenama postave. Ozzy ima uspjesnu solo karijeru, dok ga je privremeno na vokalima zamijenio Ronnie James Dio, iz postava Dio ("Holy diver") i Rainbow ("Long live rock n' roll") i jedno vrijeme cak Ian Gillan iz Deep Purplea. Prvi album Black Sabbatha "Black Sabbath", izdan iste godine kao i Deep Purpleov debi "In rock" (68), kao i nesto kasnije izdan prvi album Led Zeppelina "I" oznacili su pocetak nove glazbene ere i ujedno slove kao remek djela glazbe.
Ne smijemo zaboraviti jos par velikih imena koji su iza sebe ostavili duboki otisak kvalitetne glazbe i koji su karakterizirali lomljenje granica umjetnosti, te sirenje glazbe na neistrazena podrucja: Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, Jethro Tull i King Crimson su samo neka imena progresivnog rocka koji krajem sezdesetih tek uzima zamah.
Nalazimo se u sedamdesetima u kojima doslovno cvjetaju dobra rock i stvaraju prva prava metal imena od kojih neke grupe djeluju i do danas uzivajuci zasluzenu slavu. Kao nezaobilazne spominjemo: AC/DC (albumi klasici: "Back in black", "Highway to hell", "Let there be rock" itd.), Motörhead ("Ace of spades", "1916"), Bon Jovi ("Slippery when wet"), Aerosmith ("Pump", "Toys in the attic"), Rush ("2112", "Moving pictures"), Uriah Heep ("Demons & wizards"), Kiss ("Alive I & II"), Scorpions ("Lovedrive"), Blue Öyster Cult ("Fire of unknown origin") (nekima od navedenih grupa uporno se prisivao pridjev 'metal' iako je njihova glazba bila daleko od toga). U sedamdesetima je osnovan i Judas Priest koji je u svojim pocecima svirao hard rock, dok se tek kasnijim izdanjima (pocetkom osamdesetih) i pronalazenjem vlastitog stila mogao nazvati metal (buduci da je djelovao i prije osamdesetih, Priest se ne ubraja u NWoBHM).
Kraj je sedamdesetih. Velika Britanija. Vec i prije slovila kao jedna od kolijevki rocka, dok bi jednako mogli reci za metal. Osim sto je bila dom Black Sabbatha i Deep Purplea, bila je epicentar pokreta poznatim pod imenom New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWoBHM). Sve je pocelo kada je mladi i malo poznati band Iron Maiden izdao svoj prvi demo 1978, a pratile su ga mnoge britanske grupe. Nezaustavljivi val neobuzdane energije i kreativnosti pokrenut je prvim izdanjima Iron Maidena pocetkom osamdesetih ("Iron Maiden" i "Killers" sa legendarnim Di'Annom na vokalima) i jednako velikim klasicima grupa koje vecinom nisu uzivale popularnost metalnih djevica, Saxon ("Strong arm of the law", "Wheels of steel"), Raven ("Rock until you drop"), Demon ("The unexpected guest"), Venom ("Black metal"), Angel Witch ("Angel witch"), Tygers of Pan Tang ("Spellbound"), Samson ("Shock tactics"), Diamond Head ("Lightning to the nations") itd. Glazba postaje nedvojbeno brza, zahtjevnija i glasnija. Britanska, ali i svjetska javnost slavila je svoje junake koji su prodavali mnostvo ploca i nastupali pred rasprodanim halama. Nedvojbeno, za vrijeme NWoBHMa (koje je trajalo od kraja sedamdesetih do otprilike '83. ili 84'.i koji je uz Black Sabbath glavni kamen temeljac metala) metal je dozivljavao jedan od svojih vrhunaca i mnostvo vjecnih klasika. Pozitivna atmosfera koja je tada vladala oko metala rijetko je kada ponovno dosegnuta. Posebno interesantan je fenomen zvan Iron Maiden. Grupa je uvijek, a posebno u svojim prvim danima, uvijek bila par koraka ispred 'konkurencije' i bili su kao proroci buduceg zvuka. Ono sto je ostalo kao njihova glavna karakteristika do dana danasnjih je nezamjenjiva melodija, dok su pjesme kao sto su "Prowler", "Iron Maiden", "Wrathchild", "Murders in the rue morgue" ostale rado slusane do danas, dok bi pjesma kao sto je "Purgatory" koja je stara punih 20 godina, komotno mogla stajati na bilo kojem kvalitetnom power metal albumu danasnjice. Mnogo toga se mijenja u bandu odlaskom Di'Anna, a dolaskom pjevaca spomenute grupe Samson, Brucea Dickinsona.
Negdje usporedno s razvojem NWoBHMa u Velikoj Britaniji prije nego sto je americki metal dozivio svoj boom, poznati su bili glam (shock) rockeri. Prisjetite se grupa Mötley Crue, Poison, Alicea Coopera, W.A.S.P i, naravno, KISSovaca. Sto im je bilo zajednicko? Nasprejane, naviklane polumetarske frizurice u zrak, make-up, u najmanju ruku interesantni kozni outfiti i sladunjavi rock zvuk (koji je na trenutke znao graniciti s metalom) koji je, osim sto je bio dosta eksplicitan (live nastupi), bio pravi magnet zlocestih curica s kojima su clanovi spomenutih grupa svakodnevno lumpali, cinili bezbrojne ekscese i mlatili ogromnu paru. Medjutim, naslo se i tu interesantnih albuma: "Shout at the devil", "Billion dollar babies", "W.A.S.P."...
Ostanimo jos malo u Americi. Dijelom pod utjecajem metal booma iz Velike Britanije, dijelom iz vlastite kuhinje, Amerikanci su pocetkom osamdesetih imalo stosta kvalitetnog za ponuditi na podrucju metala. Ogromnu ulogu u promoviranju underground metala imale su razne kompilacije tek rodjenih bandova, od kojih je medju vaznijim kompilacijama bila ona Briana Slagela (utemeljitelj Metal Blade recordsa i najvaznija osoba za razvoj metala osamdesetih u Americi i Kanadi) pod nazivom "Metal massacre" na cijim raznim izdanjima su bile grupe Armored Saint, Metallica, Cirith Ungol, Savage Grace itd itd. Sve je to kulminiralo fenomenalnim izdanjima: Metallica i njihov debi "Kill 'em all", Slayer "Show no mercy", Anvil "Metal on metal", Jag Panzer "Ample destruction", Heir Apparent "Graceful inheritance", Queensryche "The warning", Fates Warning "Awaking the guardian", Savatage "Hall of the mountain king", Megadeth "Peace sells...but who is buying", Metal Church "Metal church", Virgin Steel "Noble savage"i jos mnoge dobre grupe i albumi od kojih kao posebne mozemo izdvojiti Manowar, band osnovan od strane Black Sabbathovog roadia, Joe DiMaia, dok cetvorka u prvoj polovini osamdesetih izdaje "Battle hymns" na kojem se vec nazire njihovo buduce kretanje, dok im "Hail to England" donosi svjetsku popularnost.
Polako s vremenom, pocetni zvuk izvornog heavy metala se poceo mijenjati. Posebno americke grupe koje su svoju razuzdanu energiju pocele polako prenositi na svoje albume, tezile su brzem ritmu, nekontroliranim solo ispadima, tzv. staccato riffovima i agresivnijim vokalima. Rodjen je thrash metal, uz koji je usko vezan pojam speed metal (vezan uz grupe Exciter i Raven). 1983. izdan je vec spomenuti prvi album Metallice koji je sadrzavao za ono vrijeme par do tada najzescih riffova koji su se mogli cuti: tu su prednjacili pocetak pjesme "Motor breath" i pjesma "Metal militia". Medjutim, definitivno najzesce grupa koja se krajem prve polovine osamdesetih mogla uopce cuti bila je grupa Slayer koji su imali mnogo problema sa snimanjem svojih albuma jer producenti nisu imali iskustva s tako brzim zvukom, a ni tehnologija nije bila prikladna. Kult je stvoren izdanjima "Ride the lightning", "Hell awaits" i Anthrax "Fistful of metal". Ali, svijet nije ni priblizno znao sto mu se sprema: prvo je Exodus izdao thrash bombu "Bonded by blood" 1985, a godinu dana kasnije Slayer je izdao najbolji thrash metal album ikada "Reign in blood" koji je djelomicno zasluzan i za razvoj agresivnijih pravaca metala u buducnosti. Ovaj pravac metala usko je povezan s Bay Area podrucjem odakle dolaze najveca imena thrash metala. Lavina je pokrenuta: Testament ("The legacy"), Vio-Lence ("Oppressing the masses"), Megadeth ("Rust in peace"), Death Angel ("The ultra violence"), Forbidden ("Forbidden evil"), Heathen ("Victims of deception"), Flotsam and Jetsam ("Doomsday for the deciever"), Overkill ("Feel the fire")...usporedno s Amerikom, thrash virus zahvaca i sve ostale dijelove svijeta. Krenimo od sjevernih susjeda Amerike, Kanade, koja je ponudila legendu Annihilator, grupu predvodjenu Jeff Wattersom, gitaristickim genijalcem i prefekcionistom, koja izdaje klasiku "Alice in hell"; prijedjimo ocean: Njemacka - dovoljno je spomenuti tri thrash legende: Kreator ("Endless pain", "Pleasure to kill"), Sodom ("Agent orange") i Destruction ("Infernal overkill"), a tu su jos i Tankard ("Chemical invsion"). U Brazilu izlaze prvi albumi Sepulture koji zasada nemaju previse veze sa thrash metalom.
Iako je prva polovina osamdesetih u Europi bila prvenstveno pod dominacijom Velike Britanije i NWoBHM-a (Maideni standardno izdaju klasike "The number of the beast", "Piece of mind", "Powerslave", a Judas Priest svoje "Defenders of the faith" i "Screaming for vengeance"), i u drugim dijelovima starog kontinenta su se dogadjale interesantne stvari. U Njemackoj je osnovan Accept pod vodstvom Uda Dirkschneidera (kasnije se odvaja i osniva grupu UDO) i izdaju se klasici "Restless and wild" i "Breaker", osniva se Grave Digger ("Heavy metal breakdown"), Running Wild ("Black hand inn"). Scorpionsi izdaju svoje klasike. U Svicarskoj djeluje postava Hellhammer pod dominacijom Toma G. Warriora, dok se raspadom doticne skupine osniva legendarni Celtic Frost ("Morbid tales", "To mega therion") koji uz Svedjane Bathory ("Bathory", "Under the sign of the black mark") smatra zacetnikom black metala. Nezaobilazna je i Danska u kojoj tada malo poznati King Diamond zajedno sa Hankom Shermanom osniva Mercyful Fate ("Melissa, i fenomenalni "Don't break the oath"). Postavljaju se i korijeni death metala djelovanjem skupine Possessed ("Seven churches").
Druga polovina osamdesetih donosi osnivanje novog pravca metala - death metala, ali prije toga thrash metal prolazi kroz svoje umjetnicke vrhunce, dok se drugi bandovi polako pronalaze u vlastitim unikatnim stilovima (Metallica "Master of puppets", "...and justice for all", Manowar izdaje svoj najbolji album "Kings of metal", Queensryche svoje remek djelo "Operation: mindcrime", dok Slayer usporuje ritam albumom "South of heaven"). Prije no sto se bacimo na death metal, obavezno moramo spomenuti Nijemce Helloween koji albumima "Walls of Jericho" i "Keeper of the seven keys part I & II" postavljaju temelje melodicnog power metala (djelomicno u korelaciji i s nazivom Epic metal) ciji stil ce biti kopiran nebrojeno mnogo puta u buducnosti. Power metal se zasniva prvenstveno na melodijama, gitaristickim finesama kroz virtuozne solaze, vokal je ugodan i cesto visok, dok je glazba himnicna. Glavni predstavnici power metala osnivaju se upravo u ovom razdoblju: Kai Hansen, gitarist Helloweena, nakon nekog vremena napusta Helloween i osniva svoj kultni band Gamma Ray s kojim u osamdesetima izdaje "Heading for tommorow". U Finskoj Timmo Tolkki osniva Stratovarius, s kojim izdaje ne bas najbolji debi "Fright night", dok je Njemackoj Blind Guardian izdaje prvi album "Battalions of fear". Od slicnih u Americi moramo spomenuti Vicious Rumors ("Digital dictator"), Virgin Steel i Fates Warning. Sto se tice thrash metala u ovom razdoblju, moramo spomenuti da Kreator izdaje svoje najbolje izdanje "Extreme aggression" kao i Sodom, dok Sepultura izdaje mocni "Benath the remains". King Diamond se razilazi sa Shermanom i osniva skupinu King Diamond s kojom izdaje odlicne albume "Abigail", "Them", "Conspiracy"...
Kao sto je vec spomenuto, kao osnivace death metala spominju se Possessed svojim albumom "Seven churches", dok je u vecoj mjeri za razvoj spomenutog pravca zasluzan (tada mladac) Chuck Schuldiner sa svojom legendarnom grupom Death. Death metal je agresivan stil koji se sastoji od zestokog i veoma brzog bubnjarskog ritma, najcesce (u pocetku) jednostavnih jednozicanih riffova i grubog, nerazumljivog vokala. Zasto je death metal bio toliko popularan? Definitivno zbog osvjezavajuceg, novog i zesceg zvuka. Slava NWoBHMa je davno prosla (ostali su samo najjaci: Maideni izdaju svoje najbolje albume: "Somewhere in time" i "Seventh son of a seventh son"; Saxon), dok thrash revolucija gubi na snazi...tada je izronio death metal i pokrenuo novi val talentiranih glazbenika. Naravno, u pocetku u dubokom undergroundu djeluje Death i vrsi najveci dio posla za death metal izdavanjem svog debija "Scream bloody gore" (87). Brzo i zestoko - kritizirano na sve strane ali mladi su prihvatili album. "Leprosy", "Spiritual healing", "Human"... da ne nabrajamo dalje sve same klasike grupe Chucka Schuldinera (R.I.P.) na kojima prolazi razvoj od nekontrolirane agresije do tehnickog savrsenstva. Razliciti glazbenici koji su djelovali u grupi Death osnovali su kultne grupe: Massacre ("From beyond"), Autopsy ("Severe survival) i Cynic ("Cynic", uz Death, u pocetku najvisi stupanj tehnicke perfekcije). Dok smo u Americi, neizbjezno moramo spomenuti Floridsku scenu koja se smatrala najjacom na svijetu: zvijezde death metala Morbid Angel ("Altars of madness"), Obituary ("Cause of death"), bezboznici Deicide ("Legion") i Malevolent Creation ("Retribution"). Tu su jos mnoge istinske zvijezde death metala: Cannibal Corpse ("Tomb of the mutilated") i Suffocation ("Effigy of the forgotten") koji je uz Immolation ("Dawn of possession") zacetnik raznih varijacija death metala. Ni Europa nije bila postedjena death metal booma: u Svedskoj su osnovani Entombed (koji svojim albumom "Left hand path" stvaraju karakteristican svedski zvuk gitara), raspadom grupe Carnage (jedini album "Dark recollections") stvaraju se zvijezde Carcass (Englezi) i Dismember ("Like an everflowing stream"), dok djeluju jos Unleashed ("Accross the open sea") i Grave ("You'll never see..."), a ubrzo se osniva Hypocrisy koji izdaje svojim prvi album "Penetralia" i Edge of Sanity ("The spectral sorrows"). U pocetnim stadijima u death metalu se nije upotrebljavao tzv. blastbeat (ukrucivanje ruke da bi se postigao sto brzi bubnjarski ritam). Medjutim, teznjom stvaranja sto brzeg zvuka, blastbeat se pocinje razvijati i mislim da ga je po prvi puta upotrijebila engleska grupa Napalm Death na svojim prvim albumima ("Scum" i "From enslavement to obliteration") kada je jos svirala grind core. Grind core se sastoji od kratkih (po jedno minutnih ali i kracih) izljeva agresije, par blastbeatova i pokojeg riffa. Sadrzi jednostavnost punka, ali je puno zesci. Uz spomenute Napalm Death, i grupa Carcass je u svojim pocecima svirala grind core (na albumu "Reek of putrefaction"; njihova klasika: "Necroticism") dok se kasnije okrece cistom death metalu. Od Engleza , moramo spomenuti jos Bolt Thrower ("Warmsater") i Benediction ("Transcend the rubicon"). Ostale zemlje: Austrija - Pungent Stench (koji su upotrebljavali razlicite nemetal elemente u svojoj glazbi: "For God your soul...for me your flesh") i Disharmonic Orchestra ("Expositionsprophylaxe"); Nizozemska - Gorefest ("False"), Sinister ("Diabolical summoning") i Asphyx ("The rack"); Finska - Amorphis (mnogo folklornih elemenata; "Tales from the thousand lakes") i Sentenced ("North from here"); Kanada - Kataklysm ("Temple of knowledge"); Cryptopsy (Whisper supremacy"); Njemacka - Morgoth ("Cursed"); Poljska - kao sto se vidi iz prijasnjih redaka, metal nije nikada bio velika stvar Istocne Europe, prvenstveno jer zapadna glazbena industrija nije bila okrenuta na to podrucje; ali i tamo se svirao odlican death metal. Dosta je spomenuti fenomenalnu grupu Vader ("De profundis", koja je i danas zvijezda death metala i ima u svojim redovima najbrzeg svjetskog bubnjara, Doca) i Cehe Krabathor ("Orthodox"). Dakle, death metal je oko devedesetih prozivljavao svoj vrhunac kada su mnogi bandovi sletjeli cak i u sluzbene top-ljestvice medju rock i pop postave. Dijelom zbog umjetnickog sazrijevanja, ali i dijelom zbog komercijalizacije, neke grupe napustaju izvorni death metal zvuk i pocinju graniciti sa drugim stilovima, ali to ne znaci da gube na kvaliteti! Kao takve spomenimo Gorefest koji na odlicnom albumu "Soul survivor" uz death metal spaja i rock elemente; isti slucaj je sa Carcassom na albumu "Swansong"; Amorphis na genijalnom albumu "Elegy", a jos vise na albumu "Tuonela" prelazi na heavy metal sa utjecajem rocka sedamdesetih; Hypocrisy albumom "Abducted" zalazi u atmosfericnije vode, ali izdaje samo vrhunske albume; Napalm Death koji albumom "Diatribes" prekida onu ultra brzinu kao na remek djelu "Utopia banished"; Morgoth na albumu "Feel sorry for the franatic"; Therion koji spaja klasicnu glazbu s metalom ("Theli"), Tiamat koji prelazi polako u gothic i ambijental ("Wildhoney"). Mnoge grupe su u svoje pjesme ugradjivale melodije ali i heavy metal elemente NWoBHMa. Kao zacetnik melodicnog death metala smatra se svedska grupa At the Gates svojim albumom "Slaughter of the soul" i Carcass svojim izdanjem "Heartwork". Posebno svedske grupe su prihvatile takav nacin muziciranja: spomenimo Unanimated ("In the forest of the dreaming dead"), Dark Tranquillity ("The mind's I") i In Flames ("Lunar strain") kao zacetnike. Medjutim i death metal vrhuncu polako dolazi kraj. Ogroman broj mladih, neinventivnih bandova, i jos veci broj undergound labela uvjetovao je pad zanimanja za death metal koji se polako vraca odakle je i dosao - u underground negdje '93. ili '94., dok svijet okrece glavu prema drugim pravcima.
Pocetkom devedesetih, tradicionalni metal posustaje (Maideni izdaju svoj najlosiji album "No prayer for the dying"), dok neki bandovi dostizu svoj zenit: Metallica izbacuje na trziste svoj "Black" album (koji se prodao u nevjerojatnih deset milijuna primjeraka) kojim se uspinju na tron metala, ali je ujedno i zadnji njihov metal album; Slayer izdaje klasiku "Seasons in the abyss" kojim dokazuju da su jos uvijek u vrhuncu thrasha; Sepultura izdaje svoje remek djelo "Arise" i ubrzo poslije "Chaos AD" kojim postaju najuspjesniji brazilski band ikada, Pantera izdaje svoj najbolji album "Vulgar display of power" kojim inspirira mnoge hard core/heavy metal bandove; Judas Priest izdaje mega uspjesni "Painkiller"; Savatage svoj "Gutter ballet"; Dream Theater se probija na svjetsko trziste albumom "Images and worlds" kojim sirom otvara vrata progresivnom metalu i postaje jedan od najomiljenijih metal bandova ikada; spomenuti Blind Guardian, Gamma Ray, Stratovarius i drugi power metal bandovi pocinju stvarati svoj karakteristican zvuk koji ce kulminirati fenomenalnim albumima nesto kasnije; raspadom grupe Sanctuary ("Into the mirror black") nastaje postava Nevermore ("Nevermore")...medjutim, u Americi se stvara nova pomama: grunge. Buduci da nema neke prevelike veze s metalom (osim mozda zestokog zvuka gitare), spomenut cemo samo osnovne grupe, albume i dogadjaje tzv. 'zvuka iz Seattla': predvodnici Nirvana ("Nevermind"), Pearl Jam ("Ten"), Soundgarden ("Badmotorfinger"), Alice in Chains ("Dirt") samo su najutjecajnije grupe grunga koje mediji bucno slave. Medjutim, slava ima i svoju crnu stranu: pritisak medija i fanova, alkohol, droge, nedostatak privatnosti dovode do tog da ikona grungea, Kurt Cobain, zavrsava svoj zivot nesretno, kao i mnogi poznati prije njega: samoubojstvom 5.4.1994. i gotovo automatski se gusi grunge koji je svjetskim listama vladao jedva nesto vise od godine dana. Moramo dodirnuti i hard core koji svoje temelje i glavne predstavnike ima prvenstveno u Americi. Tekstovi bazirani vecinom na socijalnoj kritici, mocni gitaristicki riffovi i linije bassa i temperamentni live show. Glavni predstavnici: Pro-Pain ("Foul taste of freedom"), Biohazard ("Urban discipline"), Agnostic Front ("One voice"), Sick of it All ("Scracth the surface"), Downset ("Downset").
Receno je vec da je Black Sabbath zacetnik heavy metala, doom metala i stoner-rocka. Kao prvi pravi (i mozda najbolji ikada) doom album smatra se onaj grupe Trouble "Psalm 9" izdan davne 1984. Obiljezja dooma: spori, tugaljivi ritmovi, depresivne gitarske linije, pesimisticni tekstovi i karizmatican vokal. Uz Trouble, kao klasike dooma koje ga podizu na novu razinu, tu su Candlemass ("Epicus doomicus metallicus", "Nightfall"), Saint Vitus ("Die healing"), Solitude Aeturnus ("Through the darkest hour"), Cathedral ("Forest of equilibrium")...kao nezaobilazne tu su i Anathema ("Serenades", "Eternity", "Judgement") i My Dying Bride ("Turn loose the swans", "The angel and the dark river"). Obje grupe krenule su sa iste tocke - spoj doom metala kroz glazbu i death metala kroz vokale izdajuci fenomenalne albume. Medjutim, Anathema se polako pronalazi u akusticnom gothicu, dok My Dying Bride prvo eksperimentira razlicitim zvukovima, dok se kasnije vracaju (i do danas su odani) izvornom doomu s pocetka karijere. Kao danasnje perspektivne grupe mozemo spomenuti The Sins of Thy Beloved ("Perpetual desolation") i Tristaniu ("Beyond the veil") koji doom spajaju s gothicom. Na ovom podrucju i Hrvatska ima grupu svjetske razine: Ashes You Leave.
Uz death metal, jos jedan stil metala ulazi u krajnosti izrazavanja agresije - black metal. Kontroverzni pravac nastaje na temeljima spomenutih grupa Venom, Celtic Frost i Bathory koje ih prvenstveno inspiriraju kroz tekstualnu stranu (sotonizam, spiritizam, magija ali i magija netaknute prirode), dok manje kroz glazbu, koju sami razvijaju. Pocetkom devedesetih, black metal je u svojim pocecima prvenstveno vezan uz Skandinaviju, preciznije Norvesku gdje se kao nezaobilazna trojka spominju: Mayhem ("De mysteriis dom sathanas"), Burzum ("Burzum") i Darkthrone ("A blaze in the northern sky"). Vodja Mayhema, pod pseudonimom Euronymous takodjer vodi tajnu organizaciju 'Crni krug' koja se teroristickim akcijama (paljenje crkava) bori protiv krscanstva ali i protiv nekih bandova koje nisu smatrali dovoljno 'evil' (Paradise Lost, Therion). Stvari su kulminirale kada je vodja grupe Burzum, Varg Vikernes okrutno ubio Euronymousa jer je htio preuzeti vodstvo nad krugom i zbog nerijesenih poslova oko izdavanja Burzumova albuma (Burzum je bio pod Euronymousovom izdavackom kucom) .Vikernes je osudjen na 23 godine zatvora i od tada vise ne djeluje 'Crni krug'. Kakav zvuk uoblicuje black metal? Agresivnu glazbu kroz karakteristicne riffove, blastbeatove i krijestece vokale, uz koju su gotovo u potpunosti izbacene solo dionice pojedinih instrumenata, dok je karakteristicno prepoznatljiv image - corpse paint. Oblici black metala: primitivni black metal (zastupaju grupe Darkthrone, Gorgoroth, Khlod koja se zasniva na namjerno losoj produkciji koja docarava grubost glazbe i jednostavnoj glazbi), viking metal (Enslaved, ima vise veze s tekstovima nego s glazbom), dark metal (Aeternus, vise atmosfericnija glazba), black-gothic metal (Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Limbonic Art, spoj black metala najcesce samo kroz vokale i glazbe koja zna cesto graniciti s thrashom, heavy metalom i gothicom), black-death metal (Dissection, Naglfar) itd. Najbolji norveski bandovi i njihovi albumi: Emperor ("In the nightside eclipse", "Anthems to the welkin at dusk"), Enslaved ("Frost", "Eld"), Immortal ("Battles in the north", "At the heart of winter"), Satyricon ("Dark medieval times", "Nemesis divina"), Borknagar ("Quintessence"), Ulver ("Bergtatt"), Dimmu Borgir ("Stormblast", "Enthrone darkness triumphant"), Limbonic Art ("In abhorrence dementia"), Ancient ("Proxima centauri"), Solefald ("Pills against the ageless ills") i jos mnoge mnoge. Ostale zemlje: Svedska - Marduk ("Opus nocturne", "Panzerdivision marduk"), Dark Funeral ("The secrets of the black arts") , Dissection ("Storm of the light's bane"), Naglfar ("Diabolical"); Finska - Impaled Nazarene ("Latex cult"), ...and Oceans ("a.m.g.o.d."); Velika Britanija - Cradle of Filth ("The principle of evil made flesh", "Cruelty and the beast"), Bal-Sagoth ("Starfire burning upon..."), Hecate Enthroned ("Dark requiems and unsilent massacre"); Njemacka - Agathodaimon ("Blacken the angel"), Nocte Obducta ("Taverna"), Nagelfar ("Virus west"); Belgija - Ancient Rites ("Dim carcosa") itd. Jednako sto je mucilo death metal, pogadja i black: mnogo nekvalitetnih grupa i malih underground izdavackih kuca koje svakakav srot izbacuju na trziste. Takodjer, mnoge grupe su nasle svoj karakteristican izricaj: Emperor progresivni black metal (fenomenalni "Prometheus"), Enslaved u atmosfericnijem metalu ("Monumension"), Satyricon u podosta hladnim, industrial zvukovima ("Rebel extravaganza") itd. Black metal je cak pronasao svoj put u svjetske top ljestvice i to vecinom one grupe koje su imale potporu vecih diskografskih kuca.
Krug metala se polako zatvorio i pocinje se okretati ispocetka. Neki stilovi koji devedesetih nisu imali zasluzenu popularnost, sada ponovno dolaze u prvi plan. Diskografska kuca Nuclear Blast potpisivanjem ugovora sa svedskom grupom HammerFall 1997. i izdavanjem njihova albuma "Glory to the brave" ponovno pokrece popularnost power i heavy metala i nove (vise-manje kvalitetne i inovativne) grupe nicu kao gljive ili stari veterani izdaju najbolje albume: Blind Guardian dostize svoj vrhunac izdavanjem albuma "Imaginations from the other side" i "Nightfall in middle-earth", Iced Earth pronalazi put do svoje popularnosti albumom "The dark saga", Gamma Ray najkasnije od albuma "Land of the free" je, uz spomenute, slijepe cuvare najomiljenija njemacka power metal grupa, Helloween koji se neko vrijeme odvojio od svojih korijena, vraca na scenu albumom "Master of the rings", Stratovarius je nasao svoj stil izdanjem "Episode" i "Visions", mladci Edguy utvrdjuju svoj polozaj albumom "Theatre of salvation"; talijanska scena prsti dobrom glazbom, ali i pretjeranim kopijama. Izvornici: Rhapsody spajaju metal sa mnogo klasicne glazbe "Symphony of the enchanted lands" i Labyrinth "Return to heaven denied" su dvije najeksponiranije talijanske power metal postave. Njemacki veterani Rage takodjer upotrebljavaju cijeli orkestar u svojoj glazbi i postizu svoj vrhunac albumom "XIII", ali i oni imaju mlade snage kao sto su Brainstorm ("Metus mortis") i Angel Dust ("Enlighten the darkness"); Amerikanci jos uvijek brizno cuvaju svoj izvorni stil s pocetka osamdesetih: Steel Prophet nikada nije imao vecu publiku, ali izdaje odlicne albume ("Messiah"), Jag Panzer sada postize svoj vrhunac albumima "Thane to the throne" i "Mechanized warfare", Kamelot albumom "Karma", Brazilci Angra se nakon odvajanja od prvog pjevaca Andre Matosa uspjesno vracaju na scenu albumom "Rebirth"..
Polako dolazimo do danasnjeg vremena. Sto karakterizira metal danas? Uz sitnu premoc heavy/power metala, mozemo reci da gotovo svi stilovi imaju interesantne zastupnike i drze svoj stil zivim. Preletimo kratko: sad vec gotovo starci NWoBHMa jos uvijek djeluju - Iron Maiden se vraca u srca fanova (i na top ljestvice) ponovnim ujedinjenjem s Bruceom Dickinsonom ("Brave new world") i naravno pune hale, misljenja oko Judas Priesta su podijeljena - svi se slazu da je pjevac Tim Owens prava zamjena za Rob Halforda (koji se nakon eksperimentalnih albuma solo karijere vraca metalu albumom simbolicnog imena "Ressurection"), ali neki ne prihvacaju njihov modernizirani zvuk ("Jugulator", "Demolition"); i Saxon je jos uvijek tu i konstantno svira ono sto najbolje zna - heavy metal ("Killing ground"); prvi pjevac Maidena - Paul Di'Anno nije uspio napraviti uspjesnu solo karijeru (grupa Killers), ali uspjesno zivi na staroj slavi dok sa druge strane Dickinson ima uspjesne solo albume iza sebe ("Accident of birth", "Chemical wedding")......thrash metal i danas ima svoje zvijezde: klasicna trojka: Kreator, koji nakon eksperimentalnih albuma izdaju svoj najbolji thrash album ("Violent revolution")/Sodom ("M-16")/i ponovno oformljeni Destruction ("The antichrist") vladaju pozornicama, veterani Slayer ce izgleda jos dugo biti s nama ("God hates us all") iako u malo moderniziranoj verziji, Annihilator jos uvijek zna dobrano zaprziti ("Criteria for a black widow"), dok su za thrash neobicno vazne 'mlade' grupe poput The Haunted ("The haunted made me do it"), Darkane ("Insanity"), Meshuggah ("Chaosphere") ili Raise Hell ("Not dead yet")......progresivni metal ima veliku hordu poklonika. Metal prozet kompleksnim riffovima, strukturama i izvedbom koja zahtijeva savrseno poznavanje instrumenata predvodjen je Drem Theaterom koji vec mnogo godina dokazuje svoje predvodnistvo na tom polju ("Scenes from a memory"); tu su jos Spock's Beard ("The light") predvodjenim Nealom Morseom; Symphony X ("V"), Majestic ("Trinity overture"), Pain of Salvation ("Remedy lane"), Threshold ("Hypothetical"), Transatlantic ("Bridge across forever"), Ayreon ("Into the electric castle"), Shadow Gallery ("Carved in stone"), Vanden Plas ("Far off grace"), Devin Townsend ("Terria") i jos mnogi, dok od zesceg sektora tu mozemo ubrojiti karizmaticne Svedjane Opeth ("Still life")......death metal jos uvijek se nije u potpunosti oporavio od svog ponovnog ponora u dubine undergrounda. Medjutim, stari veterani koji su uvijek bili odani svome stilu drzali su death metal na zivotu: Cannibal Corpse ("Bloodthirst"), Bolt Thrower ("Honour-valour-pride"), Morbid Angel ("Gateways to annihilation"), Malevolent Creation ("Envenomed") dok se mnogi prokusani bandovi vracaju izvornom zvuku. Navedimo samo Napalm Death ("Enemy of the music business"), Hypocrisy ("Into the abyss") i Kataklysm ("The prophecy"). Od novih dobrih grupa ti su Nile ("Black seeds of vengeance"), Die Apokalyptischen Reiter ("All you need is love"), God Dethroned ("Bloody blasphemy") ili The Forsaken ("Manifest of hate") dok ce se naci i pokoji interesantan grind band poput LockUp ("Pleasure pave sewers"); cvjeta svedski melodicni death metal - uz izvornike In Flames ("Clayman") ili Dark Tranquillity ("Haven"), tu su Soilwork ("A predator's portrait"), Gardenian ("Soulburner") ili Dispathed ("Motherwar"); kao zadnji stil vezan (djelomicno) uz metal koji se pojavio na svjetskoj sceni, imamo nu metal. Nu metal prvenstveno je vezan uz mladu generaciju koja je nezadovoljna nacinom zivota i opcenito stanjem u svijetu. Nu (neo) metal razvio se na temeljima koje su postavile grupe Rage Against the Machine ("Rage against the machine"), Fear Factory ("Demanufacture"), Tool ("Aenima") i Machine Head ("Burn my eyes"). Kao prethodnike ovog zanra kojeg karakteriziraju zestoke gitare, agresivni i melodicni vokali i mnogo histeriziranja i granica s hip-hopom i miksanjem navodimo Korn ("Life is peachy"), Limp Bizkit ("Significant other"), Linkin Park ("Hybrid theory", najprodavaniji album u Americi 2001. godine), Papa Roach ("Infest"), Slipknot ("Iowa") i System of a Down ("Toxicity") i Mudvayne, Static-X, (hed)P.E., Disturbed itd. I grunge prolazi svoju fazu obnove djelovanjem mega popularnih grupa kao sto su Creed ("Human clay"), Nickelback ("Silver side up"), Staind ("Break the cycle"), Tantric ("Tantric") itd.
Kao sto se vidi iz prilozenog, metal ima danas mnogo toga dobrog za ponuditi. Medjutim, situacija nije tako svijetla i u stvarnosti. Metal je, ako gledamo usporedno sa ostalim svjetskim glazbenim 'pravcima' debelo u undergroundu, i iako ima kvalitetniju glazbu, ne moze im konkurirati. Ali, i u tami ima svijetlih tocaka: kao primjer zemalja u kojima je metal itekako popularan, mozemo navesti Njemacku koja je oduvijek bila centar metala i u koju metal grupe najradije navracaju u svojim turnejama ali i izvor novog zvuka. Uz kvalitetnu power, thrash i black scenu, u Njemackoj se razvila i 'folklorna metal' scena (uz zesce riffove se upotrebljavaju mnogi nacionalni instrumenti i stare melodije i napjevi; karakteristican image) koju predvode grupe In Extremo ("Suender ohne Zuegel"), Subway to Sally ("Hochzeit"),Tanzwut ("Labyrinth der Sinne") ili Corvus Corax ("Mille anni passi sunt"), dok mozemo naci jos par inovativnih grupica poput Rammsteina ("Mutter"). Ali i Finska ima scenu koja se izdigla na razinu drzave i u kojoj cvjeta metal u potpunosti: Nightwish, grupa s opernom pjevacicom uziva svjetsku slavu ("Oceanborn"; kada smo vec dodirnuli metal sa zenskim vokalima, ne smijemo ne spomenuti Norvezane Theater of Tragedy, Talijane Lacuna Coil ili rock Nizozemce The Gathering), spomenuti Amorphis ("Am universum" ciji prvi singl je nekoliko tjedana bio na vrhu finskih top listi), Sentenced ("Crimson"), virtuoze Children of Bodom ("Hatebreeder"), blackere Impaled Nazarene ("Absence of war does not mean peace"), Stratovarius i mladu nadu power metala Sonatu Arcticu ("Ecliptica").

One And Only



I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside i feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up i can not see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as i wish for death
Oh please god,wake me

Back in the womb its much too real
In pumps life that i must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when i'll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as i wish for death
Oh please god,wake me
Now the world is gone i'm just one
Oh god,help me hold my breath as i wish for death
Oh please god help me

Darkness imprisoning me
All that i see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell

1998 Thank You

If the sun refused to shine,
I would still be lovin' you.
When mountains crumble to the sea,
There'll still be you and me.

Kind woman, I give you my all,
Kind woman, nothing more.

Little drops of rain whisper of the pain,
Tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
Together we shall go until we die.
My, my, my,
Inspiration's what you are to me,
Inspiration, look see.

And so today, my world it smiles,
Your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done,
For you to me are the only one.
Happiness, no more be sad,
Happiness....I'm glad

METAL MILITIA

NWOBHM 1980-1983 Rules

The show is through the metal is gone
It is time to hit the road

Hotel rooms and motorways
Life out here is raw
But we will never stop
We will never quit

EET FUK



Evo slusa se koncert Metallice iz 89 USA.Bass solo (To Live Is To Die) pa prijelaz u Master Of Puppets.
Je-be-no!!! Ja sam to prvi put cuo od mog frenda Lepr-a i to negdje 92-93.
Bio je to snimak stare metal manije koju je onda vodio Pista (Kiss My Ass And Go To Hell) i bilo je to na nekoj sjebanoj video kazeti ali thats not the point...the point is that we were stoned!!!!!
Lepr je imao Metallica Wherever I May Roam majicu (na rukavima I Ask No One) i islo se je na biljar u dadki dom.Tamo je bio i stari metalac Rossman (duga kosa UAAAAA!!!).
Taj dio koncerta od Metallice i album Somewhere In Time od Maidena su obiljezili ljeto 92-93.
U to vrijeme si bio Bog ako si uspio nabavit bilo kakvu Metal kazetu od bilo kojeg malo slabije poznatog banda po 8DEM.Ali to sta si nabavio bilo je zakon-ZAKON!!!!
Cak i CIGUMI je bio nabrijan na metal (AC-DC,Metallica,Iron Maiden,W.A.S.P,Motorhead...) a kod njega smo 1991 pjevali Gunse-Knockin On A Heavens Door,Axl je imao volan bio je to Rock In Rio.
Bilo je to kad je na skolskoj zgradi jedan dan osvanuo grafit METALLICA MASTER OF PUPPETS kojeg je izradio PEKAZ alias CHUCK SCHULDINER 89(naime cijelo vrijeme se je mislilo da je taj grafit napravio Pidjama tako da je zapravo i Pekaz jedna od zivucih legendi).Dani svjezeg zraka,zelenih drveca i plavog mora.
Dani bez alkohola,cigara,droga,mp 3-a,DVD-a,kompjutera,interneta,mobitela,a bilo nam je JEEEEBEEEENOO!!!Evo ga ide Anesthesia-Pulling Teeth!!!!
CLIFF BURTON LIVES FOREVER!!!!RIP
Od Kill Em All-a pa do Justica Metallica je dokazala svoje i postavila visoke uvjete ostalim nadolazecim bandovima sto se tice mjuze pa do koncertnih nastupa,a Cliff Burton postao jedan od najboljih bassista svih vremena(pao bi i Steve Di Giorgio i Malone).Fuckin whiplash!!!!
A da vidite metalce(neki nisu podnosili da ih se zove metalcima nego poklonicima metal glazbe) 91- crne uske hlace(500puta isprane) malo podrapane,JNA vojne cizme(zakon tih godina),poderana traper jakna sa miljon zakrpa(velika na ledima Justice zakrpa i male:Sodom Kreator Maideni...)i Metallica majica.
Onda se zivjela muzika,zivotni stil sa jednim Bogovima Metallicom!!!!
To danas nitko ne moze razumjeti ali neka im bude zao!
Pa samo kad se sjetim Cigumija kako doma lezi u Megadeth-Rust In Peace majici 93 nadrogiran od tableta(pokrali smo mu pola sobe i sve Zagor,Blek i Komandant Mark stripove.
Mjuza nam je bila lifestyle i bogme i ostala.
KEEP THE METAL FLOW
This is for Slavisha....Da moze rec da opet serem jedno te isto!!!
See Ya!!!
More Beer!

Valentine's Day

she was the color of tv, her mouth curled under like a metal snake
although holy wood was sad, they'd remember this as valentine's day

flies are waiting
in the shadow of the valley of death
in the shadow of the valley of death

slit our wrists and send us to heaven, the first flower after the flood
i saw that pregnant girl today, she didn't know that it was dead inside
even though it was alive, some of us are really born to die

flies are waiting
in the shadow of the valley of death
in the shadow of the valley of death

slit our wrists and send us to heaven, the first flower after the flood
in the shadow of the valley of death
in the shadow of the valley of death

She-Tourniquet

she's made of hair and bone and little teeth
and things I cannot speak
she comes on like a crippled plaything
spine is just a string
I wrapped our love in all this foil
silver-tight like spider legs
I never wanted it to ever spoil
but flies will always lay their eggs
Take your hatred out on me
make your victim my head
you never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquet
prosthetic synthesis with butterfly
sealed up with virgin stitch
if it hurts, baby please tell me
preserve the innocence
I never wanted it to end like this
but flies will lay their eggs

SEVENTH SON OF A SEVENTH SON


Here they stand brothers them all
All the sons divided they'd fall
Here await the birth of the son
The seventh, the heavenly, the chosen one.

Here the birth from the unbroken line
Born the healer the seventh, his time
Unknowingly blessed and as his life unfolds
Slowly unveiling the power he holds

[Chorus:]
Seventh son of a seventh son

Then they watch the progress he makes
The Good and the evil which path will he take
Both of them trying to manipulate
The use of his powers before it's too late

[Chorus:]

Today is born the seventh one
Born of woman the seventh son
And he in turn of a seventh son
He has the power to heal
He has the gift of the sechond sight
He is the chosen one
So it shall be written
So it shall be done



ANGEL OF DEATH


Auschwitz, the meaning of pain
The why that I want you to die
Slow death, immense decay
Showers that cleanse you of your life
Forced in
Like cattle
You run
Stripped of
Your life's worth
Human mice, for the Angel of Death
Four hundred thousand more to die
Angel of Death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Sadistic, surgeon of demise
Sadist of the noblest blood

Destroying, without mercy
To benefit the Aryan race

Surgery, with no anesthesia
Fell the knife pierce you intensely
Inferior, no use to mankind
Strapped down screaming out to die
Angel of Death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Infamous butcher,
Angel of Death

Pumped with fluid, inside your brain
Pressure in your skull begins pushing through your eyes
Burning flesh, drips away
Test of heat burns your skin, your mind starts to boil
Frigid cold, cracks your limbs
How long can you last
In this frozen water burial?
Sewn together, joining heads
Just a matter of time
'Til you rip yourselves apart
Millions laid out in their
Crowded tombs
Sickening ways to achieve
The holocaust
Seas of blood, bury life
Smell your death as it burns
Deep inside of you
Abacinate, eyes that bleed
Praying for the end of
Your wide awake nightmare
Wings of pain, reach out for you
His face of death staring down,
Your blood running cold
Injecting cells, dying eyes
Feeding on the screams of
The mutants he's creating
Pathetic harmless victims
Left to die
Rancid Angel of Death
Flying free


NIGHT CRAWLER

Howling winds keep screaming round
And the rain comes pouring down
Doors are locked and bolted now
As the thing crawls into town

Straight out of hell
One of a kind
Stalking his victim
Don't look behind you

Nightcrawler
Beware the beast in black
Nightcrawler
You know he's coming back
Night Crawler

Sanctuary is being sought
Whispered prayers a last resort
Homing in its' cry distorts
Terror struck they know they're caught

Straight out of hell
One of a kind
Stalking his victim
Don't look behind you

Nightcrawler
Beware the beast in black
Nightcrawler
You know he's coming back
Night Crawler

As night is falling
The end is drawing near
They'll hear
Their last rites echo on the wind

Huddled in the cellar
Fear caught in their eyes
Daring not to move or breathe
As the creature cries
Fingernails start scratching
On the outside wall
Clawing at the windows
"Come to me" it calls
Atmosphere's electric
As it now descend the stairs

Hiding in the darkness
Is so futile from its glare
Death comes in an instant
As they hoped it would
Souls ascend to heaven
While it feasts on flesh and blood



COME TO THE SABBATH

Come, come to the Sabbath
Down by the ruined bridge
Witches and demons are coming
Just follow the magic call
Come, come to the Sabbath
Down by the ruined bridge
Later on the master will join us
Called from the heart of Hell
First we light up the fire
And then we hail our Lord
Two candles, a black and white
Are placed upon the altar
North, South, East and West
And so we clean the air
High priestess invoking the Devil
Infernal a names are spoken

Come to the Sabbath, Sabbath...
The ceremony's proceeding
It's time to grant your wishes
And evil curse on the priest
Who took the life of Melissa
Now we must close up the ritual
Lead the Enochian key
And so it will be done, Amen...now come
Come to the Sabbath, Sabbath...

[SOLO: H.SHERMANN]

If you say heaven I say a castle of lies
You say forgive him I say revenge
My sweet Satan you're the one


FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS

Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On the fight, for they are right, yes, by who's to say?
For a hill men would kill, why? They do not know
Suffered wounds test there their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know
chorus:
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

Take a look to the sky just before you die
It is the last time you will
Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now the will see what will be, blinded eyes to see
chorus


HOLLOW

What's left inside him?
Don't he remember us?
Can't he believe me?
We seemed like bothers
Talked for hours last month
About what we wanna be
I sit now with his hand in mine
But I know he can't feel...

No one knows
What's done is done
It's as if he were dead

I'm close with his mother
And she cries endlessly
Lord how we miss him
At least what's remembered
It's so important to make best friends in life
But it's hard when my friend sits with blank expressions

No one knows
What's done is done
It's as if he were dead

He as hollow as I alone now
He as hollow as I alone
A shell of my friend
Just flesh and bone
There's no soul
He sees no love
I shake my fists at skies above
Mad at God

He as hollow as I converse
I wish he'd waken from this curse
Hear my words before it's through
I want to come in after you
My best friend

He as hollow as I alone


ARISE


OBSCURED BY THE SUN
APOCALYPTIC CLASH
CITIES FALL IN RUIN
WHY MUST WE DIE?

OBLITERATION OF MANKIND
UNDER A PALE GREY SKY
WE SHALL ARISE...

I DID NOTHING, SAW NOTHING
TERRORIST CONFRONTATION
WAITING FOR THE END
WARTIME CONSPIRACY

I SEE THE WORLD - OLD
I SEE THE WORLD - DEAD

VICTIMS OF WAR, SEEKING SOME SALVATION
LAST WISH, FATALITY
I'VE NO LAND, I'M FROM NOWHERE
ASHES TO ASHES, DUST TO DUST

FACE THE ENEMY
MANIC THOUGHTS
RELIGIOUS INTERVENTION
PROBLEMS REMAIN


INDIANS

We all see black and white
When it comes to someone else's fight
No one ever gets involved
Apathy can never solve

[BRIDGE:]
FORCED OUT - Brave and mighty
STOLEN LAND - They can't fight it
HOLD ON - To pride and tradition
Even though they know how much their lives are really missin'
WE'RE DISSIN' THEM ...

[PRE-CHORUS:]
On reservation
A hopeless situation

Respect is something that you earn
Our Indian brother's getting burned
Original American
Turned into, second class citizen

[REPEAT BRIDGE]
[REPEAT PRE-CHORUS]

[CHORUS:]
Cry for the Indians
Die for the Indians
Cry for the Indians
Cry, Cry, Cry for the Indians

Love the land and fellow man
Peace is what we strive to have
Some folks have none of this
Hatred and prejudice

THE FAMILY GHOST

[SOLO: Andy.]
The darkness came closer to home on the
following night
And Miriam slept like a rock when
Jonathan's face went white

The bedroom was ice cold
But the fire was burning still
The blinding light
The Family Ghost had risen again...The Ghost

"Don't be scared, Don't be scared now My Friend
I am Count de LaFey
Let me take You to the crypt down below
Where Abigail rests"

"Let Miriam sleep
She never would understand
Now come let us go...It's time to know"

[SOLO: Mike - SOLO: Andy]

"Beware of the slippery stairs
You could easily fall and break Your neck
Hand me that torch and I will lead the way
To the secret in the dark
Take a look into the vault, the Vault
The sarcophagus...of a child
Abigail has been in here for years and years
stillborn", Born...Born...Born

"The spirit of Abigail is inside Your Wife
and there's only one way You can stop
the rebirth of evil itself
You must take her life now"


DEATH IN FIRE

The wait is soon at end
Always charge never bend
Morning is here, make your stand
Live for honor, glory, death in fire!

Total war is here
Face it without fear
Age of sword, age of spear
Fight for honor, glory, death in fire!

See the fire rise
Flames are raging high
Soon all will burn and die
Burn for honor, glory, death in fire!

Storm of lethal flames
Only death remains
Ragnarok is closing in
Die for honor, glory, death in fire!

Forces of chaos is on the move
Everyone, choose your side
And know the end is coming soon
The day for all to die

The day is here when Bifrost breaks
Nor sun or moon will rise
When the dead rise from their graves
and Surtur spreads his fire

All you know will wither away
And sink into the sea
A new world will be born one day
Where everyone is free

[Lead Sćderberg]

Total war is here, face it without fear
Age of sword, age of spear
Fight for honor, glory, death in fire!

Storm of lethal flames
Only death remains - Ragnar?k is our fate
Die for honor, die for glory
Die, death in fire!

MASTER OF PUPPETS

End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your death's construction

[Chorus:]
Taste me you will see
more is all you need
you're dedicated to
how I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
obey your Master
your life burns faster
obey your Master
Master

Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
[End Chorus]

Needlework the way, never you betray
life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
chop your breakfast on a mirror

[Chorus]

Master, Master, Where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, Master, You promised only lies
Laughter, Laughter, All I hear and see is laughter
Laughter, Laughter, laughing at my cries

Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, drift on numbered days
now your life is out of season

[Chorus]

DANTE´S INFERNO

Through the fiery caverns we sail
Virgil at my side my guide and master
Questing through the nine plains of hell
Infernal wisdom shall fill my soul
Slowly now the days departing
The darkened air releases me
Frightening visions of my journey
Entrance me to limbo I'm not
Free

Abandon all hope who enter here
Enter the gates, Charon awaits

Abandon all hope who enter here
For this is where all things are left behind
Every doubt and every cowardice must die
Souls of rage and anger whipping in despair

The souls that wail on this plain pray for death
Denial is the reason for their suffering
Forever being stung by wasps and demons breath
The blood and tears that fall serve the maggots need

Descention, thrusting to the second plain
Minos judges as his tail twines
Lustful thoughts and greed whip these wretched souls
A hurricane of hate mocks their helpless pleas

Drifting now down deeper, into eternal flames
Awake at the third circle, the cold and filthy rain
Punished for their gluttony, languid for all time
The earth it stinks of corpses, damned for all time
The vicious beast Cerebus, three heads, blooded eyes
Tears his talons through the air, all the skinners cry

Down, be still thy cursed wolf
The master scorns its name
Dive to the next plain
The sullen and the vain
Suffer for greed
The prodigal they bleed
For all eternity
Plutus holds the key

Damned, the wrathful and the vain
Suffer the fifth plain
Cross the river Styx
Heed your crucifix
The mudded corpses cry
Howling to the sky
Reach the other side
Open wide the gate

Enter the sixth circle of barren land and flames
Passing through the gate of dis the furies scream her name
Belching forth in agony invoking her to rise
The spirit's rage consuming us the evil in their cries
Queen of vipers, queen of serpents
Cast their souls to stone
Spread to wealth of Gorgon's power
Medusa's inner soul

We're drawing ever closer to the seventh hell
They violate their neighbors, their god and themselves
We're sailing slowly through the boiling river of blood
Immersed in the depths below souls scream in agony
The twisted beast he laughs, he draws his arrow back
His sights on anyone exposing of their flesh
He impales their hearts with ease
And shrugs their piercing screams
Pity is they'll never die
They'll suffer here eternally

Imagine a place where every horror comes to life
Where every torture is real and time stands still
Eight fiery steps and we're closer to the end

In a cold and timeless grave buried head first in shit
Praying all the while for a quick & painless death
Scratching furiously at scabbed and oozing wounds

Lucifer ... angel of light
Cast below god of ice
Ruling hell unholy trinity
The traitors freeze for all eternity
Lucifer ... betrayer of god
Tormentor ruthless and cold
Judas' screaming here in agony
The traitors freeze for all eternity


ZERO TOLERANCE

In the dark of night...
Abusing a portion of light
While others are sleeping
And some are escaping
A serpent spews out fantasy-
Unjustified blasphemy
That cannot be condoned

[Solo: Schuldiner]

It must be strange to not have lived
So far into existence

This is not a test of power
This is not a game to be lost or won
Let justice be done

[Chorus:]
There will be zero tolerance
For the creator of hallowed intentions
There will be zero tolerance
Fate is your deciding God

[Solo: Schuldiner / Solo: Koelble]

Karma comes crashing down
Leaving a very deep scar
Exposing a door to the
Source of a verbal whore
Machines supply the altar
Where virtuous lives are sacrificed

[Solo: Koelble]

It must be strange to not have lived
So far into existence

This is not a test of power
This is not a game to be lost or won
Let justice be done


AM I EVIL?

My mother was a witch, she was burned alive.
Thankless little bitch, for the tears I cried.
Take her down now, don't want to see her face
All blistered and burnt, can't hide my disgrace.

Twenty-seven, everyone was nice.
Gotta see 'em make 'em pay the price.
See their bodies out on the ice.
Take my time.

Am I evil? Yes I am.
Am I evil? I am man, yes I am.

As I watched my mother die, I lost my head.
Revenge now I sought, to break with my bread.
Taking no chances, you come with me.
I'll split you to the bone, help set you free.

Twenty-seven, everyone was nice.
Gotta see 'em make 'em pay the price.
See their bodies out on the ice.
Take my time.

Am I evil? Yes I am.
Am I evil? I am man, yes I am.

On with the action now, I'll strip your pride.
I'll spread your blood around, I'll see you ride.
Your face is scarred with steel, wounds deep and neat.
Like a double dozen before ya, smells so sweet.

Am I evil? Yes I am.
Am I evil? I am man.

I'll make my residence, I'll watch your fire.
You can come with me, sweet desire.
My face is long forgot, my face not my own.
Sweet and timely whore, take me home.

Am I evil? Yes I am.
Am I evil? I am man.

My soul is longing for, await my heir.
Sent to avenge my mother, sweep myself.
My face is long forgot, my face not my own.
Sweet and timely whore, take me home.

Am I evil? Yes I am.
Am I evil? I am man.

Am I evil? Yes I fucking am.
Am I evil? I am man, yeah.




SATURDAY NIGHT

There's 52 ways to murder anyone
One or two are the same,
And they both work as well
I'm coming clean for Amy,
Julie doesn't scream as well
And the cops won't listen all night
And so maybe, maybe I'll be over
Just as soon as I fill them all in

And I can remember when I saw her last
We were running all around and having a blast
But the back seat of the drive-in
Is so lonely without you
I know when you're home
I was thinking about you,
There was was something I forgot to say
I was crying on a Saturday night
I was out cruising without you,
They were playing our song
Crying on Saturday night

As the moon becomes the night time
You go viciously, quietly away
I'm sitting in the bedroom,
Where we used to sit and smoke cigarettes
Now I'm watching, watching you die

I can remember when I saw her last
We were running all around and having a blast
But the back seat of the drive-in
Is so lonely without you
I know when you're home
I was thinking about you,
There was was something I forgot to say
I was crying on a Saturday night
I was out cruising without you,
They were playing our song
Crying on Saturday night


COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION

Endangered species, caged in fright
Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight
The stage in set, now pay the price
An ego boost don't think twice
Technology, the battle's unfair
You pull the hammer without a care
Squeeze the trigger that makes you Man
Pseudo-safari, the hunt is canned ...
The hunt is canned

All are gone, all but one
No contest, nowhere to run
No more left, only one
This is it, this is the Countdown to Extinction

Tell the truth, you wouldn't dare
The skin and thophy, oh so rare
Silence speaks louder than words
Ignore the guilt, and take your turn
Liars anagram is "liars"
Man you were never even there
Killed a few feet from the cages
Point blank, you're so courageous ...
So courageous

[Chorus]

One hour from now
Another species of life form
Will disappear off the face of the planet
Forever ... and the rate is accelerating

NIGHT FALL

[Halford/Lachman/Chlasciak]

Your love is killing me, it draws me to the dark
Your veil of ecstacy, that leaves the telling mark
The spell you cast inside, is stabbing through my heart
It reaches deep within, it's pulling me apart

Night Fall, you take my soul
Night Fall, you're in control

Your love's still haunting me, it draws me into black
Your veil of fantasy, won't let my soul come back
The spell has taken all, I can't release my mind
I've lost my heart to you, you're too cruel to be kind.

Night Fall, you take my soul
Night Fall, you're in control
Night Fall, I called you and you came
Night Fall, I'll never be the same
