 От новой американской прогрессивной группы обычно ждешь какого-нибудь очередного клонирования Dream Theater. В этом плане ныне покойная команда Psychotic Waltz очень выгодно выделялась на сцене, выдавая искрометный авангардный метал, и сейчас ее место призвана занять Dead Soul Tribe... Нам предлагается прогмет, как говорится, "от создателей Psychotic Waltz", вернее, от одного из них, фронтмена (а еще гитариста, вокалиста и... флейтиста!) Дэвона Грейвса. Парню просто не сидится на месте от своего большого музыкального таланта, и он успешно доказывает это уже с дебютника...
Одноименный альбом прдставляет собой просто сногсшибательную смесь из американского и скандинавского прога с влияниями модного в Штатах Industrial и даже (местами, очень незаметно и, что говорится, в тему) Post Metal. И если первый придает четкости и без того выразительным гитарным риффам, то второй служит для атмосферности, которой на альбоме достаточно...
Наиболее заметны на альбоме дерзкие боевики ("Powertrip", "You", "Cry for Tommorow"), которые созданы по всем законам драйва и цепляют с первых же риффов. Не обделены вниманием и классчиеские для стиля рок-баллады ("The Haunted", "Once") и медленные "тягучие" вещи ("One Bullet", "The Drowning Machine"). Причем, во всех случаях, песни имеют в себе какую-то фишку, ярко выделяющие стиль музыки в целом. Составлено же все это в альбом с таким удивительным чувством композиции и гармонии, что альбом своей нескучностью заставляет-таки дослушать себя до конца. Думаю, это главное, что следовало сказать...
Браво! Лидер Psychotic Waltz собирает новую команду, которая не становится просто копией-тенью предыдущей или других именитых исполнителей, а абсолютно уверенно заслуживает звания интересного и самобытного проекта... |

Powertrip with me
Powertrip with me
Powertrip with me
I am a corporate Jesus freak
Forced down to my knees
Best that I believe in God
Does God believe in me
Powertrip with me
2. Comin' Down
Someone opened up the door
Let in something they have
Never known before
No one knew what waited
Outside the cage
The urge to fly is now
The need to get away
The wind is clouding at my breath
The dust is whirling round my
Slow and quiet step
Something stirring in the air
This silent calm
Is more than I can bare
Can you feel it coming down
Can you feel it coming down
And I knew that this day would come around
Can you feel it coming down
There s a knife from every lie
Still inside
Part of me has died
And the knives that you deny
Leave me open wide
Part of me has died
Its easy to escape
3. Anybody There
4. The Haunted
When I m alone now
I can feel you watching me
Haunting me
Somebody comes to me
In my sleep
I hear you breathing
Feel your mouth against my ear
You got a hold on me
Your icy fingers
Cold as stone are touching me
As I forsake all fear
Somebody walks with me
Across this stony ground
Somebody talks to me
And I know I can feel you
When you re coming `round
When I surrender
Haunted by the soul of you
I feel you disappear
Don t run away from me
Cause I know what it feels like
When somebody let you down
5. The Drowning Machine
I ve given up on life
There s nothing I can do
I m loosing faith within myself
Loosing faith in you
Is there no one here
No one near
Terrified inside my dear
I m lonely and I fear
I m crying for so long
Thought I d never make it through
Everything that I have sacrificed
I have given up for you
Is there no one here
No one near
Terrified inside my dear
I m lonely and I fear
6. You
Can you fill this emptiness inside
Can you share the secrets that you hide
Trying to find
A friend to end my pain
The faces change
But the feeling stays the same
You
I need you
I need you
I ve walked the longest mile of life alone
Loneliness is the oldest friend I ve known
Will an angel fall for me someday
When I see her spread her wings
She just keeps on flying
You
I need you
I need you
I need a friend I can run to
Someone to crawl inside
Someone to share my secret fear
Someone who hurts as much as I
I can t believe that I can be so blind
That such a simple thing is so hard to find
You
I need you
I need you
7. Under The Weight Of My Stone
Before you know
Tomorrow s a memory gone by
And on the floor
Lies a note you never read
And you wait another day
Life has given
Nothing I can say
That it cannot take away
Before you know
All the cracks in the walls have grown
And when you go
Will you leave just a photograph
With a phony faded smile
Life has given
Nothing I can say
That it cannot take away
When I look all around
I feel like breaking down
Under the weight of my stone
8. Once
Once
I was strong
Now I see
I was wrong
What I need
All along
I ve received
Now it s gone
Once
You were here
And I wanted you near
Now I ve made
What I ve feared
Now I ve made
What I feared
You keep me wanting you
When I think of you
I wish that you were here
Every now and then
I dream about you my dear
I d tell you my regret would never disappear
If I could see you once again
Once
I believed
Now I feel so deceived
That I should be relieved
That our love is bereaved
You keep me wanting you
When I think of you
I wish that you were here
Every now and then
I dream about you my dear
I d tell you my regret would never disappear
If I could see you once again
9. One Bullet
I have fallen for you
Through the crack that breaks my life
You re the sunlight of my day
I have waited so long
Just to find someone like you
Now you take it all away
You ve taken a part of me
I ve been without so long
One bullet could set me free
One shot and the deed is done
Remember me this way
I m at quite a loss now
To convey the way this feels
Like the hurt will never heal
So I cut the wires
All communications down
All communications down
You ve taken a part of me
I ve been without so long
One bullet could set me free
One shot and the deed is done
How does it make you feel
To see me in this way
Or do you feel at all
You ve taken a part of me
I ve been without so long
One bullet could set me free
One shot and the deed is done
Remember me this way
Remember me
10. Empty
Do you feel something missing
Deep from inside
Like a subtle kind of sorrow
And you cant place it
I ve had this hurting before
I ve had this hurting before
All that I try
Don t get me by
I m only empty the more
11. Cry For Tomorrow
Cry for Tomorrow
Cry for the sad
Cry for the grieving
For what you never had
Cry for the hate
Cry for the greed
Cry for tomorrow
Cry for the need
Cry for your sorrow
Cry for the death
Cry for yourself
Cry for all your regret
Cry for tomorrow
Cry for today
Cry for this moment
Slowly drifting away
Cry for the hate
Cry for the greed
Cry for tomorrow
Cry for the need
Never cry for me
12. ...Into The Spiral Cathedral
[bonus track]
Voices whisper in my ear
They take me so far away
Take away my fear
Make it disappear
Everything I ve ever wanted to know
I thought by mistake that I d understand anything
So into the spiral cathedral we go
A promise of something just slightly out of reach
Crash the waves upon the shore
How come the rain has to fall
Someone waits behind the door
How simple words taken wrong destroy
Hearing a voice
Of someone I can t find
Speaking in words
That come from inside
Waiting for so long
To find what I can t hide
Calling me
Come into the light
Once we begin
All of us fall to the wind
Turning and spinning and spiraling
Echoing on
Turning and twisting and spiraling
Soon to be gone
To the other side
The dreamscape
