Не путать с песней Kreator «When the sky turns red” :-))
Еще одна отличная, но недоценённая флоридская банда, принадлежащая к поколению next города Тампа, которая сыграла здесь тяжелую, медленную (но с бластами) и техничную музыку с плотными, по-настоящему дэтовыми риффами и кучей фирменных наворотов, эффектов (100% грохочущий гроулинг и грызущие подпевки, солячки, писки и т.п.) и лирическими отступлениями. Альбом звучит самобытно, интересно и свежо, темы замысловаты, нет той потрясной тупости, присущей большинству флоридцев. Кавер Black Sabbath «Electric funeral» только доказывает, насколько материал Brutality круче и многомернее (настолько же дэт метал голимее того, что сейчас появляется).
Кроме этого альбома, неплох также дебютник Screams Of Anguish (редко дебютные тяжелые альбомы настолько качественны), а альбом 1996 In Mourning справедливо оказался последним – он фатально идиотичен. Ставлю 8, ибо для дэт метал в 2000 году это максимум.

Monument toppled - Washed away
Memories of dead adrift
Hollowness echoes - Shrieking sounds
Power increases - Levels extreme
Pounding jolts - Crash the hammer slams
Atmosphere in chaos - Life extracted
Evidence of death tolls - Choked in blinding fury
Ruthless assault - Generations destroyed
People lay wasted - Condemned
Struggling to live - Change for forgiveness
Lamenting slowly - Transcribing the texts
Shrouds uncovered - Energies aligned
Drawn into oblivion - Darkness unfolds
Epidemic proportions - Fire and brimstone
Running for cover - Souls embodied
Sky turns black - Breath is sifted
Out of lungs - Traumatic shock
Will of the gods - Pray to save us
2. Race Defects
All through life looking for answers
Finding nothing to make beliefs reality
So many religions - Who is right or wrong?
Probably no one - Soon man will be dead and gone
Wars across the globe - Taking lives of the innocent
Leaders not caring - Protected and safe
Too many problems for this race to solve
Ceasing to exist - Another form will evolve
Humans - Animals of great intelligence
Build destructive tools - Structures already built
Crumbling! - Powered by their ignorance
Killing themselves off
Is there life in the future for the young?
Seems bleak - Time will tell
Expendable citizens ask no questions - Blinded
Brainwashing society - Doing nothing about this dying world
Marked for disaster - Who will win?
World around us - Disturbing sight
You see no end
Such a waste bowing down - We never change
Mistakes meant to teach - Arguing over the truth
Can't accept the fact we all have our opinions
Reasons for life remain unexplained
3. Awakenings
[Instrumetal]
4. Electric Funeral
[Cover : Black Sabbath]
Reflex in the sky warn you, you're gonna die
Storm coming, you'd better hide from the atomic tide
Flashes in the sky turns houses into sties
Turns people into clay, radiation minds decay
Robot minds of robot slaves lead them to atomic rage
Plastic flowers, melting sun, fading moon falls upon
Dying world of radiation, victims of mad frustration
Burning globe of oxygen fire, like electric funeral pyre
Buildings crashing down to a cracking ground
Rivers turn to wood, ice melting to flood
Earth lies in death bed, clouds cry water dead
Tearing life away, here's the burning pay
Electric funeral
Electric funeral
Electric funeral
Electric funeral
And so in the sky shines the electric eye
Supernatural king takes earth under his wing
Heaven's golden chorus sings, Hell's angels flap their wings
Evil souls fall to Hell, ever trapped in burning cells!
5. Foul Lair
Digging graves - City buries dead
Angry tears falling - The massacre
Cemetary defaced - Age of pain draws near
A presence of troops - Termination inflicted
Civil unrest - Mortar shell exploding
On contact - Sacrificing
Cringing at the thought - That nothing can be done
To stop this madness - Dreams fading fast
Feel the pressure - Brain starts to wither
Absent warnings of attack - Designated plots
Arranged in order - Grisly reminder turned to grief
Discarded prayers - Fear of living grows
Depletion continues - At phenomenal rates
Voices screaming - Counting losses
Suffering immortal
Wounding opposition - Parade the streets
Victory accomplished
For time being thinking your safe - When attacks resume
Creating more dead - Wind of destruction
Everything is grey - Trees are gone
Nothing stands
Running through sniper alleys
Viewing with disgust
A place you hate - Killings everyday
Before your eyes - Burning corpses
Flesh rains down - Robbed of our defences
As other countries watch - Fighting for land and power
6. Screams Of Anguish
Melting faces swirfing souls
Man chained to wall of doom
Eyes stare as gloom surrounds
Twisted world of agony
Destination unknown - Lost universe
Through complex and convulted pathways - Time eludes
Reoccurrences of taunting revelations
Scratching frantically to escape - World of torment
State of confusion - Filled with dread
Hateful images
Mind seduced in hypnotic trance
Pleads for eternal life - All will fail
Disenchanted agonisingly torn
Pain grips apathetically
Wounds drain - Carcass has been devoured
Chaos breeds - Xenophobic thoughts emerge
Ravaged land - Amidst destruction
Anticipates the end
Harsh enslavement - Striking with force
Explosion smashes - Penetrating - Heavily engulfed
Punished and shrivelled - Final attempt
Saddening pity violence erupting - In vicious display
Extreme power decimates
All exist deceiving
Subconscious fear
Transformed
Task never-ending
Throughout this dream
Distorted perception
Controls the mind
Hostility surmounts
Trapped in a frightening maze
Twisting thorns gouge
Desensitised - Vortex opened
Silhouettes of shadows pass
Consumed by fog and mist
Scared reality
Life remains depressing
Lost in a place
You will not find
7. Esoteric
[Instrumetal]
8. Artistic Butchery
Carving into the body - Bound in shackles
Blood and guts are spilt - Face is mutilated
Organs consumed - Total overthrow
Control in my grasp - Deranged mentality
Ruler of sin - I leave no trace
Lanced corpse lies silent - Dried up and withered
Stench lingers throughout infinity
As victims lie pierced on ceremonial slab
Diseases spread unto the earth
Decaying holes releasing malodorous rancidity
Bones become visible as the body rots
Thoughts hang lifeless
Piercing knife - Rips through flesh
Screaming howls - Fastened chains
Harnessed subjects - Sickened mind
Reveller of decay
Inflicting pain
Life is taken
Severely beaten
Humility reigns
Resist in apathy
Feasting on the raw, bloody bones
Innocent victims slaughtered
As I carve inscription of doom
Remains unearthed in grim discovery
Demolished head - Cause of death
Bones lie twisted - Decomposition
Willing confessor - Mentally disturbed
In shallow pit - The dead are buried
Mourners weep - Not understanding
Reality executioner
Rising of the head - Half drenched in blood
Archaic sorcery - Resurrected
Transitions occur
Despite the will
Distorted memories
Stored in disk
bluish-green decay
Oozes from the veins
Exposed internal organs
Talons clawing
Rancid life exists
Realm of darkness
Tortured souls prevail
9. Violent Generation
[Instrumetal]
10. Shrine Of The Master
Merciless to the siege - Agents massacred
Protected fortress - Underground militia
Religious sect - Proclaimed messiah
David Koresh
Devoted followers - One man's domain
Fortified compound - Stockpile of weapons
Forced reproduction - Tunnels underneath
Protecting children - From the enemy
Battalion of tanks - Failed negotiations
Stronghold secured
Rounds of ammunition fired
Canisters of C-S gas - Dispersed inhumanely
Interpretations of the seven seas
Book of revelations
Reconstructed skull - Bullet wounds found
In craniums of slain disciples
Masks of bureaucracy - Identities released
Survivors interrogated - Reaccounting the horror
Useless ordeal - Ends in death
Merchants of greed - Fire consumes
Cloaked in sympathetic dismay
Beyond the grasp of the mind
In death the answer lies
Divine inspiration
Ascension towards supremacy
Dreadful endowment
Scriptures recited
Vengeance from martyred souls
Hero of the tribulation
Prepared to sacrifice
Allured by the disguise
Isolated from the world
Bodies lay scattered - Apocalyptic hell
Terrifying scene - Chilling act of suicide
Devoured by raging flames
Leaving a horrified world
