Apocalyptic Raids - "Only Death is
Real..."
Debut-CD -
2000 / Demise Rec.
Apresentando um som
brutal, ríspido e impiedoso o Apocalyptic Raids com este trabalho afirma-se como
um dos
nomes mais fortes da cena
atual. Em todas faixas desse Debut-CD podemos perceber influências nítidas do
real
metal oitentista. Logo após a
maléfica intro "The Enemy" podemos sacar o que é o Apocalyptic Raids, em
"Evil"
você curte ou sai fora,
pois daí pra frente é esta linha suja que a banda seguirá, ou seja, aquela
guitarra com uma
distorção bem
fudida ao lado de um vocal infernal e uma bateria sempre veloz. Em "Forgetten
Tales" há uma
verdadeira homenagem
à cena oitentista. Outras faixas de grande destaque são a um pouco mais
cadenciada
"Into The Twilight
Zone" e a mais brutal "Angels of Hell". Cito apenas algumas para não me alongar,
pois com
certeza é difícil
destacarmos algumas músicas desse magnífico trabalho.
Sample lyrics
from Only Death is Real...
The Enemy (Intro)
I am the
Enemy... Ancient Demon or pagan God...?
To praise the
morbid beauty - to scream out the unspoken words,
To release the unsung truth - to beat with
unrestrained rage
To accuse, to
desecrate, to insult,to disobey
To mock with disrespect, And be the lord
almighty!
Enemy... I
am... EVIL!
lyrics: Leon
Manssur, dec 1999

Forgotten Tales
When I was
young the FROST covered the land
(There was the) VENOM of the KREATOR in every
band
In an
ONSLAUGHT, the CARNIVORE wears spikes
MASTERs of ABOMINATION and DEATHSTRIKE...
VOIVODs RUNNING
WILD and AT WAR
A
HAMMER from HELL, a MASSACRE
SACRIFICE the SLAYER in the PENTAGRAM
MANOWAR, SODOM’s MAYHEM
Now they
crossed the ATLANTIC sea
WHIPLASH, SLAUGHTER
Forgotten Tales...
I am
old...
I’m feeling
old, and cold
I have
been to the Second Cave
I banged my head to the brave
A BULLDOZER
grinding ‘till DEATH
The SINDROME of DEVASTATION and TERMINAL DEATH
MUTILATED, POSSESSED by MANTAS
A SARCOPHAGUS, the
MUTILATOR’s SEPULCHRE
DESTRUCTION of
the MERCYFUL KING on HALLOW’S EVE
RIGOR MORTIS of the Countess BATHORY
OBLIVION of the MORBID
ANGEL...
EXODUS of
the DARK ANGEL...
Now they
crossed the VULCANIC lands,
EXCITER, reaching CIRITH UNGOL
Forgotten Tales...

Lyrics to our
demo-reh. CD-R
Evil
I came from beyond, God I'll dethrone
I promise you horror in my reign of
terror
The macabre orgy
starts, I'm the master of the arts
Only death is real! Slow death is near...
I am EVIL
Bodies in my altar,
disciples call me master
I
shed thy blood - unholy flow
I spit at the priest, I fuck the virgin
I kill the false - die in pain
I am EVIL

The Impaler
Sworn Knight of the
Dracul
Ruler of
Wallachia
Against the Turks
he fought
A hero in
Romania
A King, a Knight
Vlad Tepes, the Impaler
The impaler from
Romania
His headless body
buried
Tales of an empty
grave
The legend of
Dracula...
Confronting
mortality
Evoking dark
myths
Conjuring ghastly
views
(Reflecting) our
deepest fears

Tyrant, Emperor
Atop the moutains, near the skies
They lived to kill, and to
procreate
The law of the
Tyrant, enforced by his sword
Their gods have gone to
war
Their lives were in a
fight
"Shed the blood of the
enemies! ..."
Screamed the
Tyrant, before...
...he died
in the war!
Tyrant,
Emperor
Tyrant,
Emperor
Tyrant,
Emperor
(The Emperor's
Funeral
The Tyrant was
buried
According to their
rituals
Present at the
funeral
Was his
successor
Ashes to
ashes
Dust to
dust...)
Atop the moutains, near
the skies
They still live to
kill, and to procreate
Bow
to a new Tyrant, and his mighty sword...

Apocalyptic Raids
Thunder and lighting
forebode
The coming of the
Evil One...
The Earth is in
eternal darkness
Where
Blasphemy, Lust and Sodomy rule
Angels die, souls
burn
Sin, profanation (of
times) and war
The Legion of
Evil enslaves
God can't help
anymore
APOCALYPTIC
RAIDS
Warriors of
death
Under the evil
sign
Ready to fight
With swords and axes
Satan sends
disciples
To murder and
destroy
People in
despair
Churches turned to
ruins
Sentece of death is
declared...
