Eldamar - 'A Dark Forgotten Past'

This album isn't even released until December 1st, but look, it's on youtube. I've got this on pre-order, so I'm going ahead and listening to it. As the second album of the one man miracle, it's great but not quite as impacting as the first album. Its synth sounds are all amazing, but it's ultimately very repetitive and all the same tricks from 'The Force of the Ancient Land' are back again. Total escape to Middle Earth/Beleriand, though.

Redemptor - Arthaneum ...dissonant/melodic Polish DM that comes out tomorrow. Processed vocal sound is losing me, and I'm not thrilled by the mid-paced plod and awkward stop-start dynamics of the first couple tracks, but there are some nice guitar moments and I've been told the rest of the album gets more varied and interesting.

Enochian Crescent - Muisto Sorkasta

would be grateful of any translation of this lyrics.

I can do that later, since it´s in my native languange. :) 

EDIT:Had a quick look.. would be super difficult to translate and would take a long time, so might not be up for the task actually. Theres so damn much of wordplay thats nearly impossible to translate properly. :D

It would be extremely hard to translate it, so that it makes any sense or even resembles the original lyrics. :D Finnish can be a really tough languange to deal with. I´ll have another look later but it´s likely i´ll get nowhere with it.

"Memory of a hoof" (meaning the hoof being a thing that is remembered, not the hoof having a memory.. allthough theres a line saying that too in the lyrics...) Theres something in the lyrics about a severed limb, and a lot about a dead man.. it´s.. tough to get handle on even when it´s in my native languange.. :D

Here goes! Trust me makes just about as much sense in finnish. :D 

Recollection of a hoof

Severed limb feels from far way
a hoove where a recollection rests it there
Your severed arm won´t cut wheat anymore
Cuts the man silently inside the mind

Old wounds open
But there isn´t a drop of blood

Severed limb feels from far away
Death waiting behind the corner
The mowers hand no longer cur the grain
Laughing at their work (this uses a word thats like crows laughing)

Old corpses lapse
But death isn´t coming

The words that were repeated
Took a tested humanity behind these faces
To the soil behind the churches collapsed fence
And it won´t return from there to the front of these eyes
Foreign words, familiar oaths
Satans hoof feet
Puts the seal in the path i walk
Dead to the world i try to (it´s either remember or understand) our name

Severed limb feels from far away (recollection of a hoof)
When the mowed man recollects the (now, this word i do not know.. might be a typo in the lyrics online and could be "Lauma" which is Horde)
(Stalks in the corner of the eye)
I almost remember dying
(escapes from the attentive stare)
It´s crazy to think you were alive then
(Like your names echo in the wind)

Old memories (this could be either "come back" or something else)
All other pain is left behind
(A rotting man don´t need flowers from relatives, but wheat is fine for a family grave)

The words that were repeated
Took a tested humanity behind these faces
To the soil behind the churches collapsed fence
And it won´t return from there to the front of these eyes
The names that were written with butterflys blood
And married off to blue flame to be safe from clay-people (Wtf.. it´s like.. what? :D)
From the dishes of spirit travelling to (Hell, basically)
Foreign words, familiar oaths
Puts the seal in the path i walk
Our living name is praised by fallus (another wtf moment, well.. most of this was :D)

    • Sacred Reich "Awakening"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Overkill "The Wings of War"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious.
