На своем седьмом альбоме «Decadence: Prophecies of Cosmic Chaos» парни из Centinex выписывают чумовейшую порцию в меру злого, в меру мрачного, в меру мелодичного и, главное, очень качественного death metal-а! И это самое качество выражается не только в силе исполнительского мастерства и материала, но и теперь, наконец-таки, в очень зрелом и сбалансированном звуке. На предыдущих шести полноформатных работах, только лишь качество записи «Reborn Through Flames» можно было отметить слабенькой «пятерочкой». Но здесь парняги уже раскрылись по полной программе. Теперь партии абсолютно всех участников коллектива ясны и четки, а «сцена» без труда прослеживается во всех направлениях. Также заметно поменялось не только музыкальное содержание материала (теперь на «Decadence...» команда лишь изредка и очень коротко использует black и thrash metal-элементы), но и тематика текстов. Это даже и мне понятно, как человеку, который очень слаб в английском. И взглянув на оформление обложки и названия композиций и самого альбома, «Упадок: пророчества космического хаоса», можно с большой долей вероятности предположить, каким будет настроение и содержание этого детища. И, как мне кажется, этой своей работой Centinex задрали для самих себя планку общего качества материала, которую, если бы не распад коллектива, было бы очень трудно достичь хотя бы еще раз. Очень сильная работа! Браво, Centinex!!! |

When will white turn to black
This is the arrival - The dreamlike decay of mankind
Born with a reaping roam - A shapeless spectrum obscure
From here to beyond and back
Forward with the speed of light
Trapped within the walls of infinity
Decadence reigns in the halls of eternity
When will the rain turn to dust
When will white turn to black
This is the arrival - The dreamlike decay of mankind
Born with a reaping roam - A shapeless spectrum obscure
Upon the day and night of nothingness
Calmness is left and forever will
Prophecies of a fading dawn
Reveal the glorious masterplan
There will be no future
No future there will be...
Into oblivion, into a void of chaos
Gaze upon a circle of fire
Everlasting elements of innocence
Are transformed by the terrestrial silence
When will the rain turn to dust
When will white turn to black
This is the arrival - The dreamlike decay of mankind
Born with a reaping roam - A shapeless spectrum obscure
2. Misanthropic Darkzone
[The ultimate voyage of spiritual terror]
[Lyrics: M. Schulman]
Taste and inhale the divine electric air
Breathe in, breathe out, (and) breathe in again in ecstasy
Forget the enigma and close your shattered eyes
Exhale and descend as happiness dies...
Born then reborn in a timeless sphere
Where mournful flames feed the forsaken
Carried away by the arms and minds of madness
When giving birth to the powers of sadness
Hail hail hail - computerized
Hail hail hail - stigmatized
Obey obey obey - you will be dehumanized
Free your mind and enter the pincode of life
Cross the bridge and await the crucial answer
Blistering thunder replaces the hours spent
Everlasting pain here from the future sent
Hail hail hail - computerized
Hail hail hail - stigmatized
Obey obey obey - you will be dehumanized
Forget the enigma and close your shattered eyes
Exhale and descend as the stairways to happiness dies
Step inside, step inside the labyrinth
Grab the rope follow it until the end
Take your thoughts and reflect your desire
Escape and enjoy the black terrestrial fire
Hail hail hail - computerized
Hail hail hail - stigmatized
Obey obey obey - you will be dehumanized
3. Hollowsphere
[Your destiny is written in a pitchblack hole]
[Lyrics: M. Schulman]
Dive into the world of pain
A rising dominion completely insane
A pitch-black hole, a deadly darkened tomb
A place where the shadows never will dwell
Secrets are hidden deep within the walls
The mystery will be immortal as the silent nightmare recall
Hollowsphere - dive into the world of pain
Hollowsphere - fade away and decay in vain
Falling down, falling into the abyss
Crawling among the purulent ones
Your destiny is here real and true
Your hidden inner fears are slowly coming through
Hollowsphere - dive into the world of pain
Hollowsphere - fade away and decay in vain
Round and round in circles
Catch the moment inside
Step into Armageddon
Where the light never will shine
As the sun no longer rises
Reality will turn to dust
As the stones have become powder
The forsaken ones are reborn with lust
A pitch-black hole, a deadly darkened tomb
A place where the shadows never will dwell
Secrets are hidden deep within the walls
The mystery will be immortal as the silent nightmare recall
Hollowsphere - dive into the world of pain
Hollowsphere - fade away and decay in vain
Hollowsphere - dive into the world of pain
Hollowsphere - a rising dominion completely insane
4. Target: Dimension XII
[Target locked, await supreme fear]
[Lyrics: J. Jansson]
Serpent whispers beyond the sun
Nocturnal gates - devours the light
Synchronic vortex above the stars
Twisted forms - out of sight
Black holes surrounds the human race
We're connected and forlorn
Beyond deep astral stars
We're sworn into this world
When the shadows falls like curtains in the skies
Supersonic thrills bursts under our skin
When the curtains falls like velvet silver rain
We're swallowed into: Target dimension XII
We are connected - We are rejected
Unforeseen spheres take control
We're out in space and transformed
Giant vapours spins in circles
We're in the system of supreme fear
When the shadows falls like curtains in the skies
Supersonic thrills bursts under our skin
When the curtains falls like velvet silver rain
We're swallowed into: Target dimension XII
We're forced into this new dimension
Leaving mother earth behind
Subdivided planet eruption
Our synthetic existence denied
We are doomed...
Black holes surrounds the human race
We're connected and forlorn
Beyond deep astral stars
We're sworn into this world
When the shadows falls like curtains in the skies
Supersonic thrills bursts under our skin
When the curtains falls like velvet silver rain
We're swallowed into: Target dimension XII
5. Deathstar Unmaasked
[Follow the leading star, follow the magic light]
[Lyrics: M. Schulman]
I look into your sparkling eyes
As the raindrops fall asunder
I reach out and touch the sky
And behold the everlasting thunder
Systematic seduction - sinful redemption
You are the everburning deathstar unmasked
You brought me back to life
You saved my heart that cried
You rescued me as one through life
And love until the end of time
With you I am alive...
Like stars embracing the nightsky
We head on a journey we never have seen
A trip to a sphere where time stands still
To a world that forever ours will be
Systematic seduction - sinful redemption
You are the everburning deathstar unmasked
You brought me back to life
You saved my heart that cried
You rescued me as one through life
And love until the end of time
With you I am alive...
You are the river - the river of divine eternity
Your touch will make me shiver and follow my soul eternally
You are the everburning deathstar unmasked
You brought me back to life
You saved my heart that cried
You rescued me as one through life
And love until the end of time
You brought me back to life
You rescued me as one through life
With you I am alive!
6. A Dynasty Of Obediance
[Your illusions of eternity descending]
7. Mechanical Future
[Like puppets in a stigmatized supernova]
[Lyrics: J. Ahlberg]
Since the beginning of time, forced into this world
We all got programmed to not see the truth
Over the lapse of several years
We were destined to destroy ourselves
We were built to obey - the masterminds of the game
A million lives to fade
Like puppets and machines - we lost all of our control
We are waiting for our vacuous death
He waited for so long to make the end begin
Thousands of years of massdestruction
Thousands of years of genocide
We were built to obey - the masterminds of the game
A million lives to fade
Just be glad if you're dead - when the dark will arise
A silent deathblow to mankind
The world has faced the final end
Mechanical future is here - rejected humans everywhere
The world has faced the final truth
It's not a dream - it's cruel bitter reality
The final chapter of mankind
Thousands bursting into pieces
Thousands of years of massdestruction
Thousands of years of genocide
We were built to obey - the masterminds of the game
A million lives to fade
Just be glad if you're dead - when the dark will arise
A silent deathblow to mankind
The world has faced the final end
Mechanical future is here - rejected humans everywhere
The world has faced the final truth
It's not a dream - it's cruel bitter reality
We are all puppets in a stigmatized supernova
We are the scapegoats in the new world order
Mechanical future - The perfect warfare against ourselves
Mechanical future - The time is here when our minds are erased
Since the beginning of time, forced into this world
We all got programmed to not see the truth
Over the lapse of several years
We were destined to destroy ourselves
We were built to obey - the masterminds of the game
A million lives to fade
Like puppets and machines - we lost all of our control
We are waiting for our vacuous death
The world has faced the final end
Mechanical future is here - rejected humans everywhere
The world has faced the final truth
It's not a dream - it's cruel bitter reality
8. Cold Deep Supremacy
[Taste the truth of the final end]
[Lyrics: J. Jansson]
From the anguish sphere far astray
The centurian beast arrives
Injecting demonic seeds of vengeance
Bringing forth glorious pain
Forgotten grapes of wrath in mind
Astral souls follow the sign
It's time to taste the cold deep supremacy
Can you feel the cold deep supremacy
The gyral gods are welcomed
A new universal order is set
Prepare yourself for the scornful rage
The centurian beast has arrived
Forgotten grapes of wrath in mind
Astral souls follow the sign
It's time to taste the cold deep supremacy
Can you feel the cold deep...
Traumatic reactions - neurotic fractions
Dysfunctional humans paralysed
It's time to taste the cold deep supremacy
Like a tornado the master spreads anger and fury
Shatter your hopes of never-ending glory
From the anguish sphere far astray
The centurian beast arrives
Injecting demonic seeds of vengeance
Bringing forth glorious pain
Forgotten grapes of wrath in mind
Astral souls follow the sign
It's time to taste the cold deep supremacy
Can you feel the cold deep...
Traumatic reactions - neurotic fractions
Dysfunctional humans paralysed
It's time to taste the cold deep supremacy
9. New World Odyssey
[Fast forward towards astral devastation]
[Lyrics: M. Schulman]
As stars and spheres collide
Like embers in a infernal gloom
The universe once so pure and clean
Turns into everlasting fire
The spiritual kingdoms divide
This is the entrance to doom
The past the present the future
Gone in a cosmic destruction
Come join me, come join me on the new world odyssey
Come along, come along on a dark ride lasting for a lifetime
Into the arms of death
Into the crypts of vanity
The echoes dance until the end
Recall the shadows again and again
I who hold the sights
I who rule the night
Revel in joyful desire
Welcome to my spiral empire
Come join me, come join me on the new world odyssey
Come along, come along on a dark ride lasting for a lifetime
Summon the screams of thunder
When dimensions fall asunder
Deep below decolourised halls
As the bell of revelation calls
Higher fire - flames of profane desire
The last whispers - from a stillborn quire
Illusions in the glare - of heavenly blaze
A venomous kiss - like a mysterious haze
Into the arms of death
Into the crypts of vanity
The echoes dance until the end
Recall the shadows again and again
I who hold the sights
I who rule the night
Revel in joyful desire
Welcome to my spiral empire
Come join me, come join me on the new world odyssey
Come along, come along on a dark ride lasting for a lifetime
