Inferi - 2009 The End of an Era

국가: 미국
스타일: Melodic Death/Tharsh Metal
앨범평점: 10/10

이들의 이름을 쓰는 동명밴드는 여러나라가 있지만 이들은 미국이다.
올해 앨범이 넘 맘에들어서 전작 앨범도 구해보았는데 그리 땡기진 않았다.
뭐 하지만 이 앨범은 멜데쓰를 좋아라한다면 필청하고 가야할 명반이다.

드러머의 타격감이라고나 해야할까? 성능좋은 이어폰으로 듣다보면 타격감과
끊임없이 매끄러운 연주들이 첨부터 끝까지 청자의 귀를 즐겁게 해준다.^^
아마 웬만한 댄스앨범들보다도 신나서 자기도 모르게 머리흔들고 발가락 꼼지락 거리게 될지 모름..

난 도저히 그로울링은 못드겠다라고 하시는 분이 계시다면
instrumental 연주부분만 있는 7번곡만 들어보시길 ㅋ..

근데 끝부분가서 한참 진행할때에 끊기는데 원래 그런건지 끝부분 파일을 볼륨을 매끄럽게 안줄여서 그런지 확실히 시디가 없으니 자세한 정보는 모르겠당..
중딩떄 농악부 활동을 해서 그런지 밀고 땅기는 그런 사물놀이같다고나할까나...
볼륨만땅하고 눈감고 감상하시면 가슴한곳이 뜨끔하실꺼임..


역시 이들도 삭제했다가 재포스팅하는 녀석이라 이미 몇번 눈도장 찍었던 분은
있을것이다..

1. The Ruin of Mankind (intro)


5. Sentenced to Eternal Life


I've fought in many battles since the dawn of time 
crushing skulls beneath boots leaving no compromise 
this is dreadful fate that thousands have met 
living this dreadful life with only one regret 

this is my sentence of eternity 
my sentence of eternal life 
a living hell that has come over me 
I fear I'll never see the light 

you must now behold 
this hell that is my life a story never told 
an endless a circle of regret, I've paid my debt 
forever searching for my end 
I fear a challenge never met 

my lust for power was my downfall, my demise 
i betrayed my brothers while staring them right in their eyes 
a punishment so cruel one i could never dream of 
i close my eyes beg for mercy and dream of the heavens 

this is my sentence of eternity 
my sentence of eternal life 
a living hell that has come over me 
I fear I'll never see the light 

you must now behold 
this hell that is my life a story never told 
an endless a circle of regret, I've paid my debt 
forever searching for my end 
I fear a challenge never met 

dying inside someone please hear my cries 
every since the dawn of time i've walked alone traveling the world 
searching for the end my only fear is that this is my 
sentence of eternal life 
someone end it tonight 
sentence of eternal life 

its about to end 
no use for me to pretend 
endless hate with no chance of peace 
only prayers for my life to cease 

suffer unto me know 
I'll never see the light 
I am god amongst mankind






2. Gatherings In the Chambers of Madness 

Golden rooms where fantasies come true flowing wine 
and women stand in line waiting for you to make up your mind 
the succubus will bleed you dry this is the ending of your feeble life 
within those chamber walls yield fantasies and lust 
cravings beset on those enchanted 
expose your weakness and they will grind your bones to dust 
witness the gatherings in the chambers of madness 
with intoxicating beauty, they hunt at night to find their prey 
they prowl like wolves in the pale moonlight 
a scent of seduction makes them so divine 
drawing you closer with blinded sight 
and your instincts overcome 
nothing is left but for you to succumb 
one by one they lead them into darkness where a chamber waits inside 
tempting you with fantasies and filling them with lies 
just one taste and then you will begin to close your eyes 
within those chamber walls yield fantasies and lust 
cravings beset on those enchanted 
expose your weakness and they will grind you bones to dust 
witness the gatherings in the chambers of madness 
at first glance this seems to be a dream come true 
pleasures of the flesh that mere man cannot fathom 
unveiling tragedy now torture will ensue 
behold the gatherings in the chambers of madness 
in an instant your pleasure turns into your worst nightmare 
darkness, torture, and despair 
your stomach turns filling you with fear 
you can close your eyes but you'll still feel the pain 
you break your wrists trying to escape from your restraints 
witness the removal of your limbs 
this must be the punishment for all your sins 
there is no escape from this wretched place 
you've surrendered your fate to the lust of the flesh 
they will eat until nothing is left 
still alive to see the meat on the bone 
ripped and torn for a feast by the throne 
of the god who lives for immorality 
now is the time for the king to consume all of your remains 
the sight of someone eating you will drive you insane 
one final snap will be the end of all your pain 
within those chamber walls yield fantasies and lust 
cravings beset on those enchanted 
expose your weakness and they will grind you bones to dust 
witness the gatherings in the chambers of madness 
this brutal end should come as no surprise 
vision fading into your own demise 
if you find yourself within these chamber walls 
prepare for the worst, the madness will befall 
hidden by their pleasure, the kind shall have you all

3. The Endless Siege 


fueled by the fury of a thousand men 
for the lies we have come here to slay thee 
justice and revenge set on the wasted blood 
that flows through the veins of my enemies 
break down the doors 
to the hall of the whores 
who've been sent to kill and enslave the 
heroes gone home from battle they're torn 
looking for peace from the enemy 
fueled by the agony of a thousand men 
to save their lives we have come here to slay thee 
justice and revenge set on the wasted blood 
that flows through the veins of my enemies 
my axe will dine on flesh 
whilst my sword is thirsting for blood 
the slaying, the slaughter, the butchery 
an endless siege of iniquity 
wave after wave we slaughter to save 
our brothers restrained through hostility 
victims of evil we've come to release 
take up your arms and vanquish thee 
vanquish thee!!! 
my axe will dine on flesh 
whilst my sword is thirsting for blood 
the slaying, the slaughter, the butchery 
an endless siege of iniquity 
moving from room to room we banish demon souls 
taking this den out of their hands place it in our control. 
resistance is useless no need to fight 
we gain the upper hand on this fateful night 
the cowards run and they hide 
defenseless to our blades they kneel and cry 
slit the last throat and see the life fade from there eyes 
there will be no epitaph, there will be no eulogy for you 
there will be no remains, only bones and ash 
we march through a veil of crimson mist 
this is the slaughter of a dying race 
in the eyes of the gods such a pitiful disgrace 
extermination of the filth,let the cleansing begin 
fueled by the wrath of a thousand men 
for their souls we have come here to save thee 
justice and revenge set on the wasted blood 
that flows through the veins of my enemies 
my axe will dine on flesh 
whilst my sword is thirsting for blood 
the slaying, the slaughter, the butchery 
an endless siege of iniquity 
let the cleansing begin
4. A New Breed of Savior 

crucified on his day birth, taken to his new master's confines 
raised to feed on the souls of the divine 
but in time he will find the truth is in the back of his mind 
raise the veil from his eyes 
a new breed of savior for all of mankind 
no one to stand by his side 
fed only lies, an evil disguise 
now is the time for this hero to rise 
callused hearts and tortured souls 
trained him to never turn on his own 
cast from the gates, deny eternal hate 
armed with the flames of hell, he slays the wicked and does it well 
without a weakness in sight we saves hundreds of humans lives 
made a slave, cast away, they betrayed, 
but he saved those who they have enslaved 
a new breed of savior for all of mankind 
no one to stand by his side 
fed only lies, an evil disguise 
now is the time for this hero to rise 
callused hearts and tortured souls 
trained him to never turn on his own 
cast from the gates, deny eternal hate 
such a cruel fate for an innocent new born soul to bare 
the burdens of a wretched world 
fighting the wicked to redeem his name 
he seeks no fame only his rightful place 
in a peaceful world, free of hate 
no longer flesh and bone 
there is nothing that can stop him now 
his enemies will bow 
endowed with the powers of both sides 
not by choice, but forced through strife 
he sheds his mortal life and bares the burden for mankind 
and cries for all of those who've died 
it's not his choice to take their lives 
crucified on his day birth, taken to his new master's confines 
raised to feed on the souls of the divine 
but in time he will find the truth is in the back of his mind 
raise the veil from his eyes 
a new breed of savior for all of mankind 
no one to stand by his side 
fed only lies, an evil disguise 
now is the time for this hero to rise 
callused hearts and tortured souls 
trained him to never turn on his own 
cast from the gates, deny eternal hate

6. The War Machine Embodiment 


inside the belly of a beast made of flesh and steel 
my flesh and blood no longer seem so real 
inside this war machine that has blurred my sight 
distorting my vision of what's wrong or right 
blistering speed with a barrage of no mercy 
is the only thing fueling me to breathe 
I am the future breed created through pure insanity 
simply shut off it I decide to think 
I am the war machine 
forced to lead, bleed the weak 
lead by wicked hearts full of deceit 
the war machine 
blistering speed with a barrage of no mercy 
is the only thing fueling me to breathe 
I am the war machine 
forced to lead, bleed the weak 
lead by wicked hearts full of deceit 
the war machine 
all guns are locked and loaded 
I am the weapon of mass destruction 
this is the Armageddon of man 
the time has come to unleash the master plan 
devastation and the ruins of man 
barren lands and blood soaked hands 
seek and destroy all survivors, nothing left but sand 
I am the future breed created through pure insanity 
simply shut off it I decide to think 
I am the war machine 
forced to lead, bleed the weak 
lead by wicked hearts full of deceit 
the war machine
7. The Warrior's Infinite Opus (instrumental)
 
8. Quest for the Trinity 


faced against many foes 
I brandish my steel soaked with the blood of perished souls 
engulfed with the flames of both light and dark 
redemption is my goal 
I must now embark 
onward to the highest peak to slay the winged frozen beast 
he unleashes fury through the heavens wind and blistering cold 
a carousel of winds blinding my surroundings 
I mount this animal and sever his wings 
I pierce my blade deep in the heart of this soulless wretched beast 
this is his defeat 
air, land and sea 
man versus beast 
these epic battles that man cannot perceive 
on this voyage of the dead 
retrieving all their heads 
is the only way to seek out my revenge 
this quest is not my choice 
the gods must hear my voice 
I must slay all these beast to bring forth my rejoice 
in pursuit of the submerged fiend set sail to the deepest sea 
a beast of proportions that are hard to believe 
Leviathan, I call forth to summon thee 
the ocean transforms into a maelstrom 
the foe reveals himself with a vortex from beneath 
striking my vessel with an onslaught of attacks 
at the point of no return it would be fatal to turn back 
deep below now we shall go 
to finish this battle in the blackest abyss 
he opens wide and swallows me whole 
this is not the end, NO, I must persist 
now in the innards of this beast 
I refuse to become his feast 
stabbing the heart continuously 
a slain god by the hands of a human being 
looking back at my past which is not my own 
on this quest sent from the highest throne 
to slay the unholy trinity 
that has stolen my true identity 
now I travel to a far and distant land 
which have never seen the prophecies of man 
to find the entrance held deep beneath the earth 
and fight the guardian where the demons lurk 
inside this lair lies a beast that awaits me 
told to have three heads the defender of Hades 
heeding his howls, his warnings will follow 
refusing this threat my sword he shall swallow 
breathing his flames, there burning and scorching 
melting my armor and dropping my sword 
I resort to brute force and break off his horns 
my end is approaching facing hell's scorn 
venturing past the gate to reveal a fiery lake 
the resting place for a sword used for evil, nevermore 
air, land and sea 
man versus beast 
these epic battles that man cannot perceive 
on this voyage of the dead 
retrieving all their heads 
is the only way to seek out my revenge 
this quest is not my choice 
the gods must hear my voice 
I must slay all these beast to bring forth my rejoice 
with Hades blade in hand I make my final stand 
cutting at the throat of all three heads 
ascend the blade for the heavens to keep 
I sleep forever as the journey is complete

9. Forged In The Phlegethon 


from the ashes rose a demonic blade 
crafted by hatred and sent to enslave 
cast away in the deepest cell 
guarded by angels from demons of hell 
rise from the flames below 
the blade provides supreme control with powers unknown 
hidden from evil to preserve its flame 
now is the time to carry out its fate 
and on that fated day 
the demons, they came 
slaying the angels and stealing the blade 
given to a king with a heart of black 
he gathers his soldiers and prepares to attack 
rise from the flames below 
the blade provides supreme control with powers unknown 
hidden from evil to preserve its flame 
now is the time to carry out its fate 
as the fallen ones return to their master 
they fester in evil and bellow with laughter 
the angels knew hell shall befall 
inside this kingdom of rage 
his mind becomes deranged 
with plans of domination 
to create a demonic nation 
a land of redemption 
a land to renew 
a loss of all kinds 
both, wicked and true 
a storm of darkness fills the sky with destiny 
the burning gates of the depths of hell will bring 
a thousand demons rise as one 
this war has begun the charring of flesh, pure devastation 
this ancient evil has pleasured my mind 
bestowing me power to control all of time 
lest I die, all existence is mine 
surrender forever 
with my might, eternal night 
enslaved by rage 
this sword beacons me 
I foresee fallen kings 
release me from my sheath 
die by my hand 
this ancient evil is at my command 
this blade placed inside my hand 
fueling my hatred this will be the end 
no use so give in 
and now just bow your head to your king 
the flames of this blade will kill everything

10. Cursed Unholy 

the comets fall from out of the sky 
destroying the crowns that they love 
birthing a famine for all of mankind 
to feed on the flames from above 
erased by darkness 
cursed unholy, they'll be baptized tonight 
in the river of blood and be cast from the light 
their kingdoms crumbled in the blink of an eye 
before their prayers were spoken 
rest assured the bravest will cry 
before the first soul is stolen 
helplessly, the sands of time 
the soul will soon learn to forget... in the fire 
eternally enslaved 
the pain will never change 
sulfur in the wounds forever...FOREVER 
bow down before the thrown 
you're cursed unholy 
bow down before the thrown 
your wounds will never heal 
cursed unholy, they'll be baptized tonight 
in the river of blood and be cast from the light 
they see their soldiers falling one by one 
with darkness rising, the battle is not won 
every corpse shall rise in effigy of man 
I command thee... 
burn it down and build again
