Искусству Страны Восходящего Солнца всегда была свойственна лаконичность и простота (вспомните те же стихи хайку) Теперь познакомимся с группой, название которой состоить лишь из одной буквы

D

Часть меня радуется - в кои то веки скрипка не звучит так, как будто её украли с симфонического оркестра вместе со скрипачом и пюпитром с нотами заодно  прямо с концерта (дайте поржать, ок? ХD) Тут она звучит словно в каком-нибудь ирландском кабаке - весело и побуждающе к танцам

Решил послушать альбом, который я слушал прошлогодней зимой. И слушал я его часами! Альбом поражал свей мощью и агрессивностью вкупе с проникновенной мелодичностью. Хочу остановится на этой песне, название которой как никогда подходит моему душевному состоянию...

Mercenary

Isolation (The Loneliness in December)

So hear me now This weakened voicing Listen one last time It is dying Here at the end I am Watching closely Afraid to see you Afraid to be So here it is again This loneliness of mine I can't seem to find you I don't believe you're there Is this your hand?  Is this the turning?  I need to say I lost you I need to say goodbye And save me from this blinding night Of nothing Save me from the dying Save me from my god Choose to find salvation in the sorrow I hope to see you laughing Laughing at the end So here it is again This loneliness of mine I can't seem to find you I don't believe you're there Is this your hand?  Is this the turning?  I need to say I lost you I need to say goodbye I'm standing here in line Hoping to see My dreams are intertwined I'm here by your side So here it is with me This old friend of mine I'm trying to break free I'm here by your side So here it is again This loneliness of mine I can't seem to find you I don't believe you're there Is this your hand?  Is this the turning?  I need to say I lost you I need to say goodbye

Старая добрая песня FantasMic,в исполнении лучшей ,на мое мнение, певицы в жанрах симфо-метал Тарьи Турунен.
Слушаем и наслаждаемся...

Part 1

Wish upon a star
Take a step enter the land
Walk through the air
Take my hand
Wishmaster`s will-
Join him the quest for dream
A make-believe
Is all we ever need

Wish upon a star
No matter who you are
The second star to the right
Harbinger`s gate
Beyond the boundaries
Blossom ballet
In the great wide somewhere

Wish upon a star
Believe in will
The realm of the king of fantasy
The master of the tale-like lore
The way to kingdom I adore
Where the warrior`s heart is pure
Where the stories will come true

Part 2

A cub of the king betrayed by usurper
A girl in the rain swearing to her father`s name
Belle the last sight for the dying gruesome
The beauties sleeping awaiting
Deep in a dream
For true love`s first kiss

Part 3

Bald Mountain Night
Devilheart endures but light
A mad aerial dance
Chernabog`s succubi

Black Cauldron born
Gurgi`s heart forlorn
Pig-keeper or hero
On a quest of augury

Maleficent`s fury
The spindle so luring
Dragon fight, dying night
Dooming might

Apprentice of Yen Sid
Conducting the galaxy
Dreamer on mountaintop
Spellbound masquerade

The Sailor an idol for the six-year-old in me
The Phoenix of White Agony Creek
Enchantress, A mermaid in a tale as old as time
A Dragonslayer, The Awakener

Wish upon a star...

Теперь сравните предыдущую песню и эту, более модерновую. Сделайте выводы для себя. Мне кажется, каждая группа имеет право на свой путь самовыражения через ту музыку, которую они играют, нет ничего зазорного в том, чтобы качественной музыкой зарабатывать себе на хлеб.

Only For The Weak

I can't tolerate your sadness Cause it's me you are drowning (You're drowning me) I won't allow (allow) any happiness Cause everytime you laugh, I feel so (so weak)... guilty (guilty) I feel so guilty Am I forced to have any regret I've become the lie, beautiful and free In my righteous own mind I adore and preach the insanity you gave to me Oh, sell me the infection, it is only for the weak No need for a sympathy, the misery that is me I've lost the ability to paint the clouds Cause it's me you're draining (You're draining me) I'm stuck in this slow-motion dark tale Cause everytime you run, I fall (fall).. behind (behind) I fall behind And so I hear my voice again The tale of the bitter man there I am Shake the silence and hear what it says The tranquil pride that become the lie Oh, sell me the infection, it is only for the weak No need for a sympathy, the misery that is me Sell me the infection, it is only for the weak On bleeding knees, oh, I accept my fate [instrumental part] Sell me the infection, it is only for the weak No need for a sympathy, the misery that is me Oh, sell me the infection, it is only for the weak On bleeding knees, oh, I accept my fate Sell me the infection, it is only for the weak No need for a sympathy, the misery that is me Oh, sell me the infection, it is only for the weak On bleeding knees...

До сих пор большая половина металхэдов со стажем не устаёт ворчать в адрес шведской группы In Flames, не простив им ухода от традиций мелодик дэта и коммерциализации своего творчества и плюясь в адрес их последних альбомов. По моему скромному мнению, их старое творчество и новое модерновое звучание одинаково хорошо (кроме альбома Reroute To Remain: от него сильно отдает ню-металом). Ведь эта группа стояла у колыбели МДМ и в 1996 сотворили эталон жанра, икону стиля - The Jesper Race. Предлагаю послушать песню из этого альбома и сравнить с более новой, которая не замедлит появится за этим блогом.

In Flames

Artifacts Of The Black Rain

Stood there leaning to the city moon, casting silhouettes tall to grip her white rooms the black-clad voyeur in his black-clad masque in the serpentine sun of tragedy basked Stood there cursing at the soul-dead mass with their fabled illusions, the vain dreams that passed splinters of a life rushing by in the whirl alone, silent warrior in a fantasy world He cried for night / but night could not come so, swept in the shroud of misanthropia he went away and fed the empty galleries with the artifacts of the black rain sunken into the shadows with a dry, sardonic smile He made the footprints a part of his heart to rouse a sacred confrontation Stood there carving on the monument to lies digging of the Earth, making friends with the soil as the all-mother rises and bares her bleeding thighs he disappears into her cold, icy womb

Ещё один выход группы из одного талантливого человека - Питера Тагтгрена. Забавная песня про гламурных девиц, вроде Пэрис Хилтон, Ксюши Собчак и иже с ними. Вы же "любите" их так само, как и я? 

Pain

Clouds of Ecstasy

Pushing forty, cracks on her skin Needs to get out, she's ready for sin All dressed up and no one to blow... She's so low Silicon tits and silicon lips Grammy awards and playing your tricks Let the champagne flow And powder your nose Walking the white line of fantasy Glamorous life is all you seek Living in Hollywood make believe Lost in the clouds of ecstasy Silicon tits and silicon lips Grammy awards and playing your tricks Let the champagne flow And powder your nose Walking the white line of fantasy Glamorous life is all you seek Living in Hollywood make believe Lost in the clouds of ecstasy Feel it, it's knocking on your door The parasite is ready to strike Digging for gold Walking the white line of fantasy Glamorous life is all you seek Living in Hollywood make believe Lost in the clouds of ecstasy

Вот ещё одна группа, играющая мой любимый мелодэт  Прошу любить и жаловать.

Frozen Angel

We were together as one  All that we had can’t be undone  Our love fading, now it’s gone  We die thinking so it’s goooone  Now death invites us  Raises above and binds us  Awww ... till death unites us  Alone we die, my frozen Angel  Alone we fade away, from this world  Alone you die, my frozen Angel  Alone you fade away, from – this – worrrrld!  We were together as one,  All that we had can’T be undone  Our love fading, the feeling is gone  One time thinking Now it’s doooone  Alone we die, my frozen angel  Alone we fade away, from this world  Alone you die, my frozen Angel  Alone you fade away, from this world  Solos...  Alone we die my frozen angel  Alone we fade away, from this world  Alone you die, my frozen angel  Alone you fade away, from this world Nothing to do, nothing to say  fade away  My aaaangeeeeel

Лично от себя советую всем поклонникам мелодэта. Кое-кто считает, что они схожи с другими металличными финнами - убергруппой Children Of Bodom. "..в обман вводит всё тот же восхитительный мелодизм, отличающий команды Скандинавского полуострова, да ураганный темп композиций, а также тяжесть. Но С.О.В. – это прежде всего блеск и соревнование гитар, ударных и клавиш, яростные, безумные мелодические построения, и нет такой краски, такого музыкального оттенка, который не использовал бы Alexi Laiho сотоварищи. KALMAH же – сама строгость, инструменты слиты в едином звуке, и клавиши, и гитары, и ударные вместе повторяют все головокружительные мелодические переходы..." - так о них отзываются на Metallibrary. Ценим? 

Heroes To Us

Old prophet's land -a battlefield Of non-believers in a violent rage A declaration of human rights a pretext For maintenance of a new world order Above all written laws a growth concept Created by the patriot of the civilized world Rearmament -Welfare state Disarmament - Non-member state Free market economy a consequence Of military needs -loss of lives Human rights activists political pawn in a game Nothing Can they do without state subsidies A gift of today`s world Heroes to us, heroes to us, heroes to us Heroes to us, heroes to us, heroes to us Production at any price Admiration of those who earn With blood on their hands We will never learn A gift of today`s world Heroes to us, heroes to us, heroes to us Heroes to us, heroes to us, heroes to us

I'm still awake but I don't feel alive Feel my hate and wait for me to die I wanna see your bleed, just kill your name I steel your life, still remains a lie

Torture – let the killing begins Blinded – stand in the falling blood Illusions – through a tunnel of madness Forever – diabolical figures

Terror will reign, there's nothing left to claim I will take your breath, until you go insane I'll destroy your life, deadth will be your final call Just like a storm crushed the human mankind

Rage of figures – the end is near Born to die – have no pride Reign of terror – this is war Hopeless and rentless – souls left behind Blood, fire, death – the earth is losing Diabolical figures arise

You want to seek revenge but You don't have the toold I join the feast and kill what burns inside Realize the fear when it's too late to go Don't believe the mask Have to play the victim game

I feel the fear takes hold Lies made sense somehow I will destroy your life That's the will to kill Nothing gonna stop me now All your hope is gone Will you ever understand Living on your knees

Как насчёт очередной порции металкора а-ля Нагоя ?
