Итак, перед нами четверка молодых и амбициозных шведских парней из города Гётеборг, образовавших свою группу Manimal и мечтающих завоевать сердца тысяч, а возможно, и миллионов фанатов металла. Надо сказать, что начало этого «завоевания» у них удалось, ибо их дебютный альбом «The Darkest Room» является достаточно профессиональной, качественной, и что самое главное, зрелой не по годам работой.
По большому счету, «The Darkest Room» - это смесь хэви и пауэр-метала, но, несмотря на стандартность подхода, у коллектива есть свой почерк и своя изюминка, и ни на соотечественников Hammerfall, ни на немцев Helloween парни абсолютно не похожи, что для молодой группы явный плюс. В чем конкретно эта самая изюминка проявляется, сложно сказать, возможно, в ярком высоком вокале, а может - в отличных насыщенных хэви-металических риффах, сменяющихся великолепными пауэрными мелодиями и запоминающимися припевами. Как бы там ни было, альбом приятно слушать, тем более что качество записи для первой работы выше всяких похвал, практически идеальное.
Слабых или проходных треков на альбоме нет, но наиболее хитовыми и цепляющими композициями являются заглавный трек «The Darkest Room», открывашка «Shadows» и ярчайший номер «Spinegrinder».
Остается лишь пожелать группе в будущем раскрыть свой потенциал (а он, безусловно, есть), а любителям хорошего мелодичного металла обязательно ознакомиться с этой работой. |

Fight your war
I bang my head against the wall
'Cause all my dreams should not been dreamt
We bleed to death for our shadows
Can you feel all the weakness around you
Reach for your heart?
A society resting on shoulders
Falling apart
Fight your war
Leave your insanity
Say that you will return again
A promise you never kept
Spread your words
Follow your destiny
Look for the sign
It leads you there
When the armies of weakness
Are rising from inside your heart
A society resting on shoulders
Fall apart
Fall apart!
Fight your war
Leave your insanity
Say that you will return again
A promise you never kept
Spread your words
Follow your destiny
Look for the sign
It leads you, there!
The Darkest Room
In a time and place
The search is on of what's forgotten
Life has brought a name for you
They say it's gone
Appearances are all deceptive
I cry out my hate for you
Time will go on and on
Though life has to fade
Another failure
I believe that destiny is made
We are courageous
Fighting in despair
Follow the faithless
Look and find the spring of all mistakes
Another failure
Fighting 'til the end
Another lie another plague
Further setback for the bleeding ones
Don't you give me cures which can not heal
In vain we pray
But no one seems to heed the whisper
Judas is the name for you
Time will go on and on
Though life has to fade
Another failure
I believe that destiny is made
We are courageous
Fighting in despair
Follow the faithless
Look and find the spring of all mistakes
Another failure
Fighting 'til the end
Oh, in despair
In despair!
Never surrender
Never give up
Living Dead
You lead the fight
I bring the truth
Can't have it all
It's so unreachable
If you don't care
These staring eyes
They penetrate
Will reach your mind
If you know what I mean
Nothing to fear
Come see the world inside my head
Join the living dead
Believe the word and turn away from it all
Reveal the life
You kept within
Corrupted life
Take it away from me
I don't want my share
Protected minds
Of what's obscene
You failed their lies
And took it back from me
Welcome to my show
Come see the world inside my head
Join the living dead
Believe the word and turn away from it all
Life stands still
I pull the trigger
Set you free away from it all
To be the one
Who pulls the trigger
And set you free away from it all
Come see the world inside my head
Join the living dead
Believe the word and turn away from it all
Come see the world inside my head
Join the living dead
Believe the word and turn away from it all
I Am
In a world of fantasies
I float around like a ship without sails
A quick escape my remedy
Reach out your hand
And I'll show you the world of the damned
Nothing to do for me but pray
I close my eyes to leave my worries
It's my world please go away
I want it back, back what's taken from me
'Cause I am mortality
Say that we fade into grey
You are the pain inside us
Follow into the unknown
The world is set for me to reign
Under the sun to cast a shadow
I tried so hard to break these chains
I leave my hate to those
Who are beyond change
'Cause I am mortality
Say that we fade into grey
You are the pain inside us
Follow into the unknown
We stand on the edge
Let us dive into light
'Cause I am and I fear mortality
Say that we fade into grey
You are the pain inside us
Follow into the unknown
Dive into the unknown
Ordinary Man
I'm afraid to lose the way
To never know my whereabouts
Unable to relate
I'm afraid I'm not awake
So wake me up before the dawn
And loosen my restrains
I'm afraid to walk another way
So get in line and look away
Too weak to disobey
Please remember me
Sweet dreams of who I am
An ordinary man
With an ordinary plan
Now it's time to cease the day
Of who you are and what you've been
Will always be the same
Yes life is just a game
Invite all fools and start again
I am the lie in the truth
I am reflections of a youth
Forever like in a dream
I rise again with my beliefs
Blinded by the pain
The acid disintegrates my name and nothing more
Lost in a modern world
Lost in a sudden world
Lost in a perfect world again
I'm crawling I've reached this far
The time has come to hear my call
Come closer show me who you are
There's a broken shadow in your heart
Believe the word...
I am the lie in the truth
I am reflections of a youth
Forever like in a dream
I rise again with my beliefs
Come closer show me who you are
There's a broken shadow in your heart
Human Nature
Sweet caress of humiliation
Ruled by a voice of a foreign nation
Taking it's vengeance on you with a war
Too late to pray for redemption
Here's your mission, obey your superior's command
Look at yourself in the mirror of confidence
Take no prisoners, kill them all
Wipe your hands clean with your own blood
Meet the beast fed on pure oppression
Craven killers shaped by human nature
Nobody's innocent here this is a war
Look at yourself
Here's your mission, obey your superior's command
Look at yourself in the mirror of confidence
Take no prisoners, kill them all
Wipe your hands clean with your own blood
They're standing, laughing in your face as you scream
The pain will slowly take control of your soul
Here's your mission, obey your superior's command
Look at yourself in the mirror of confidence
Take no prisoners, kill them all
Wipe your hands clean with your own blood
Here's your mission, obey your superior's command
Look at yourself in the mirror of confidence
Take no prisoners, kill them all
Wipe your hands clean with your own blood
Spinegrinder
I'm an angel
I'm the grinding angel
And I've been watching you for a while
I've been standing in the corner
I've been hiding in your closet corner
So let's bring to light what seldom shine
Sending chills straight down your spine
If you hide then I will find
And I've been searching for a while
You can't protect yourself from me
I can see what you can feel
If you're weak then you will carry me
Agony and misery I owe
You man
Eternity commencing as you love:
The Spinegrinder
Spinegrinder
I see you
Yes, with a shattered future
You're with me 'til the end of time
As the breaching of all borders
Freedom rings under six foot sorrows
A hasty life between infinity and forever
Agony and misery I love
You man
Eternity commencing as you owe:
The Spinegrinder
Spinegrinder
Spinegrinder
Spinegrinder
Here I am,
For all the world to see
With broken hands I am the king of me
Sent to the world on my own, in order to redeem
Agony and misery I love
You man
Eternity commencing as you grow, grow grow...
A Spinegrinder
Spinegrinder
Spinegrinder
It's the Spinegrinder
Spinegrinder
Dreamers And Fools
Time moves on leaving me
In this godforsaken place
Left with thoughts of a life
Without dreams I would speak empty words
Shattered fame makes the end of it all
You will become who I am and what we are
With fragments of life I'm forging my dream and I'm screaming for more
And I will receive the honour I've earned
In grief we will burn to clear our evil thoughts
Shattered dreams will resemble us all
Broken and lost they shall fall, into the:
Time will forget
Time will believe
All I have lost will return if I call
Dreamers and fools
Followed by fear
The search for our freedom will end on this day
So they face the evil
Keep on burning, take the fall
All shattered dreams will resemble us all
Broken and lost they shall fall, into the:
Time will forget
Time will believe
All I have lost will return if I call
Dreamers and fools
Followed by fear
The search for our freedom will end on this day
The Life We Lived
Damn this path I walk
All is so quiet here
Calm before the storm
End of humanity?
Unleash the demons of the dark
This time I have lost, went all in
Sweet smell of victory is gone
I wake up and sense the fear
When the hour struck us
When the fury tears us all apart
There will be a time for being strong
We created it all in the life we lived
Close the path I walk
All is abandoned here
In filth the demons crawl
Powered by all the shame
When the hour struck us
When the fury tears us all apart
There will be a time for being strong
We created it all in the life we lived
Caught in a silence everything's calm
I feel alone and afraid
I look at the world as it's holding its breath
Then I look away
Oh your deeds has come for you
Holy four rose like war
Now is the time to speak out!
A wave on the water a wind in the trees
Turns into chaos at once
The earth starts to shake and you run for your life
But there's nowhere to hide
A burning inferno rise to the sky
Turns the town into dust
The elder are screaming: "This is for our sins
Armageddon is now!"
Oh my savior where're you now?
We're forsaken
We're crucified
When the hour struck us
When the fury tears us all apart
There will be a time for being strong
We created it all in the life we lived
In the life we lived
