형제들의 고결함. 명예를 가진 자들의 자존심을 건 헤비메틀 앨범 ! " 항상 가장 헤비한 음악을 원했고. 사람들의 머리를 모두 뽑아버릴 준비가 되었다 !! " Mall(쇼핑몰)Core와 다름 없는 요즘의 트랜드를 증오 한다 ! 자존심을 지키면서도 죽이는 음악을 하고 싶다 ! "
■ NWOAH 대폭발의 주역 중의 선봉장, Unearth 이러한 NWOAH 열풍에 도화선이 된 밴드들은 누가 뭐래도 메사추세츠 삼총사, Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall 그리고 이 앨범의 주인공 Unearth 라고 말 할 수 있다. 앞선 두 밴드가 제대로 된 메이저급의 힛트를 해 냈고 국내에 매우 많이 알려져 있어 Unearth 의 위용이 그다지 빛나지 않지만 실제로는 절대 그렇지 않다. Unearth 는 NWOAH 역사와 탄생, 현재 상황을 봤을 때 탑 클래스에 속하는 대단한 밴드다. 특히나 모쉬풀한 하드코어의 직선적인 색채와 레트로 스래쉬/유러피언 익스트림의 결합에서 나오는 멜로디컬한 사운드의 완벽한 배율의 조화는 매우 몸서리 칠 정도로 강인하고 센세이셔널 하다. 육중한 모쉬파트, 시원스러운 스래쉬컬한 질주, 귀를 사정없이 후벼 파는 짜릿한 속주 어택의 삼박자가 제대로 이어지는 밴드는 Unearth 뿐이며, “클린보컬 파트” 라는 꽁수 하나 없이 강인한 전력질주를 통해 메틀의 기본조건인 강인함에 매우 부합하는 밴드 역시 Unearth 뿐이며, 성공 이라는 금자탑에 오른 것도 Unearth 뿐이다. Ozzfest, New England Metal And Hardcore Festival, Hellfest 와 같은 무지막지한 페스티벌의 참여를 비롯한 수 많은 밴드와의 합동투어는 이들을 아주 자연스럽게 No.1 밴드로 올라서게 만들었다. 이들의 음악과 이름을 모르고서 요즘 메틀을 절대 논할 수 없는 수준으로 말이다.이렇게 최고의 나날을 보낸 Unearth 는 새 앨범이자 한국에 첫 소개되는 앨범인 III: In The Eyes Of Fire 를 발표했다. 새 앨범은 예전부터 밴드가 팬이라고 자처 할 정도로 오랜 시간 동안 헤비한 음악의 프로듀서로 명성이 자자한 테리 데이트 (Terry Date/Pantera, Prong, White Zombie, Overkill, Limp Bizkit 등의 밴드를 담당) 가 기용 되어서 만들어 졌으며, 전작보다 좀 더 스무스한 프로덕션이 눈에 띄는 작품이다. 그러나 Unearth 의 매력은 여전하다. 미국적인 선 굵은 헤비니즘과 유럽적인 멜로디 컬한 센스의 공존은 여전하며, 무엇보다 모든 것을 저돌적으로 해치우며 첫 한국에 소개되는 앨범으로 손색이 없는 기량을 보여준다.이렇게 헤비한 앨범을 발매했음에도 빌보드 앨범 차트 35위에 오르며, 밴드의 위치가 어느 정도인지 확실하게 각인시켜주기도..
Divine intoxication spills out the pores. A self diluting fix that craves all the more. Destructive seasoned vet, full glass of sting. A bittersweet triumph that weighs in each day. Obsession - my falsest friend. Moderation - a fantasy that I can't win. Devastation - a hardship loss. Demanding - the pain of wasted years. Lift me up, tear me down. Will I last through this glorious night mare? Collapse all that's sacred, prey on the weak. Slow painful suicide that steals from each man. Hells fire soon returns to rape the well. Prolific doom machine that hears our words. I'm fighting the will to live with countless persuasions. I'm fighting the will to live - the endless temptations Its lifeless grip, that haunts us all. Pulling from every direction, it's lifeless grip grabs hold. Yearning is now my dissension, it's lifeless grip grabs hold. Tear me down.
Smother his life - the words cut right to the heart. Disease and threaten my family nam. An epic stand is made. Condemned I will not plead. Damned to the beast of torment. Damned by the beast within us all. Crushed by the fear. More stone, more stone, more weight for Corey. Not one set forth could capture admission of guilt. By law, avoids death on Gallows Hall. Through time this fight will martyr my name. My soul free of a heretic. Court of Ayer and Terminer leave me my rightful land. Men of Ayer and Terminer leave me my rightful land. To slow in my hear - to leave to my sons. Peine Forte et Dure is called - an effort to collapse belief. Has failed, and surely will die with me. Rectify my name.
How an we close our eyes when the walls around us wear thinner each day. How can we mute our voices when a parade of chaos marches throughout the land. This is the end, end of all. We've been down this road before, yet we all just stand and watch. Everlasting ignorance hes led our ways. Forewarned, but still forgotten - our history erased. This is the end of all. Down on our knees we bow to hatred. Down on our knees we fade away. We've tried and failed. Now Rome burns again. This time it's all of us. This time it's forever.
A west side run through. One string away from taking the lead. We stalked the streets at night to live, to feel, to breathe. Bring back those days of gold where the torch was ours to bare. A troubled youth to some, to us our crown to wear. I see a time, a sanctity of brothers. We knew another world, A west side horror. A torch burned out before his own time. We close our eyes at night to hurt, to heal, to breathe. Bring us back to the day. Bring us back to our ages of innocence. Our times to live forever. Our worlds will meet again. Worlds.
> Hell strikes on solid ground give us the strength to hold our home open the wrath again withstood the fight before,been told to leave it all go where i do not know we will stare down the eyes of fire
Chorus-
Like stone we battled the winds beat down and strangled the rains we stood to fight till the end but mother has breached our defense
Keep rising, the devil is rising, We lost it all the devil is rising
It only took five days for the man to come for me i know our faith is strong and belief is all we need it was those lonely nights that tried our hearts it was those lonely nights that tore us apart
And then our faith grew dim it was our solemn sin
Forsaken-in the eyes of fire we lost it all-in the eyes of fire
Victim - the cards were dealt with less time for me. Rebel - my only way to avoid your sympathy. Virtue - spellbinding charm and strength of a hurricane. Blacksheep - the rebel son that clashed with authority. Powerless - at least I have tonight. The roads not long - at least I have tonight. Bloodline - few will see this through to the end. Cower - some hide in fear. Controlled by ignorance. Eyes Closed - the cruelest site for those dear to me. Sting - your conscience seared as anguish tears away. I might not come back tomorrow. Please know I chose the right path for me. I've lived, I've died. I've done it all a thousand times and, I don't regret a thing I've done. This time was mine to have I've lived and died a thousand times. Wanderer - I've seen it all like no other man. I've seen the light of all worlds Father. I did my best for the lack of my own. Son - a ragged path, but the love was not unknown. Brother - the best of times - a forever unyielding bond. Free - from this disease. Farewell, I'll miss you all.
> Wander this world with tired hands Wander these streets a broken man Been through this time after time and it wont be the last, but I wont break again Second lease on a terminal change Every step met with force and demands Reclaim all that loved and destroyed Belief lends a hand to the path of the strong I want to know, need to know, my next lesson I want to feel whats alive inside of me I want to know, need to know, my impression I want to look inside and see whats made to be I want to know Concede the loss of the some to fuel the life of others The unstoppable Wandered alone, wont break again Left forgotten and without hope, I still remain Cant stop this heart Wont break again Forever as stone
> Take us back Reawake Take us back Erase the wrongs that plague us Reawake Rewrite the page that changed me Take us back To the times of a cherished past Reawake Allow us to find the way Endursed a lifetime of cold frustration Now lick the wounds and fight another day Your hands will reach The walls are coming down Stand up againt the rage The walls are coming down So it goes Hypnotize So it goes The blood pours from your heart Hypnotize Allow us to find the way Man down look around Seven rifles to the sky Lock and load, lock and load Gung ho, gung ho Afraid of he rafe you feel from a bullet name life And a gun called pride, aim - fire We fight to live or live to die We all fight the same old wars Will you fight to live or will you live to die So it goes Stand up and find the way
Put your face on, stage your play Deep deception, youve dug your own grave Cowards Cross Indignation Imposters mount The loss of the faithful feared How long can you live in denial How long will you ignore whats real? Live you own lies, taste your blood Cowards crossing is feared And you celebrate your fame You celebrate your imposters kingdom Nothing is real anymore They claim to feed us the truth Its the deepest hypocrisy Imposters Kingdom
> The lines been drawn The lines been blurred for far too long The years have scaled frustration How can you shine your shell with such profound pretension? We have lost ourselves to self-contradiction We have lost ourselves to the rise of opposition The hand that leads and feeds you Would we all still battale if this caved in beneath you Weve done it on our own All the years of bleeding Weve done it all alone Now you will bleed for me Its a war We have lost ourselves to our own lies The bleeding intentions This is the line Ive drawn This is your last chance The is the lines Ive drawn Now you must bleed dry for me Wars This is the line Ive drawn The is your last chance
The weight of the charm Lights out for hands stretched out to lead The forsaken walk of allegiance In trust we decieve Walk on-never to turn back A look inside turned to stone My soul is free with blood on my hands My soul is free Lights out I stand aside Struggle in my mind I look inside to see the crowd infringed upon Lights out The death of the charm Lights out-the hands will recede The forgotten chance of disloyalty In trust we are decieved Send off-it's out of your hands Walk on-it's only your life
One life, one chance, one time. One life to see it all. One shot at tomorrow. You will never see this time again. A belief that time is cruelty. Happiness is just one step away. This life will never falter. Determinated that time will never fall. This way will never fail me. I will testify. I swear that I can see the light. It's born. It will be forever. A personal basking thrown. Life can give us. Walk the line, break the walls. See the things you've never known. Break these walls with life. One step away
