金属乐队之旅(1)
专辑名称:Master of Reality
发行时间:1971年
乐队名称:Black Sabbath
地区:英国
相信我,这里面没有任何黑暗或者恐怖的东西,也没有所谓的厄运金属(Doom metal)标志性的天堂与地狱,它不可能给予你太多。只能说我从中听到了熟悉的声音,属于上个世纪的力量。没有眼前那些乐队飘忽而花俏的技巧,就是旗帜分明的演奏。
专辑名称:And Thou Shalt Trust... The Seer
发行时间:1997年11月14日
乐队名称:Haggard
地区:德国
还有比他们更动听的古典交响歌特民谣死亡金属乐团吗?
又一支德国乐队。崇尚科学的他们永远散发着浓厚的中古世纪气息,这张专辑的内容则是以法国著名预言家Michael Nostradamus(米歇尔.诺查丹玛斯)的生平记事及其预言为题,所有的歌词皆是由Asis撰写,并且是以英文交杂德文和拉丁文所写成。里面采用了大量的风琴、小提琴,管弦乐器以及恰到好处的低沉鼓点,嘶哑且含糊不清的男声和温柔的女声吟唱有着让人无法喘息般的张力。我看过他们黑衫黑裤全副武装的20人在仿似宫廷里的大合照,肃然起敬。是有一种气质与世俱来而我们永远无法获取的。

你们应该相信....预言者
1. THE DAY AS HEAVEN WEPT
One of man's darkest chapter, it has just begun
In the sign of the cross they rise
It's the epoch of the inquisition
Too many brothers and sisters have died...
...left with no life inside to be awakened
They will never see the morning sun again
Hypocrisy killed the forsakened
Who thought, faith would be their only friend
Faith would be their only friend
The scenery shows the ashes of some who tried to refuse
Rising smoke becomes one with the dim light of the pale and lurid moon
Can dark clouds hide the hidden from the mighty eye of god?
Using his name on the pretext of deciding who's allowed to live... and who's not!
(It's a very dark night, nobody outside...
Silence wrapps up the land, as suddenly
Hoof beats destroy all sleep
In a very dark night...)
Who's allowed to live... and who's not!
From high above the Lord silently watches and grieves
And sadness rises from his inner deep
"For thou, my son hath been crucified..."
All the angels laid down their trumpets and cried
"One shalt be sent to foresee mankind's death!
Rain shalt be my tears and thunder my wrath!"
Sitting on his throne, left of all hope he once kept
On the day, as heaven wept
As heaven wept
1.上天流泪之日
他们高举十字架
这是审罪的时代
已有太多的人牺牲
没有留下活口
牺牲者永远见不到天明
伪善杀害被遗弃的人们
谁知,信念是他们唯一的朋友
信念是他们唯一的朋友
此景就像是那些曾经试图抵抗的人们的灰烬
升起的孤烟融于苍白微弱的月光
黑云能否遮掩上帝的眼?
以神的名为借口,决定谁能活....谁当死!
﹝无人暗夜中...
寂静笼罩大地,突然
蹄声踏破暗夜的沉睡﹞
谁能活....谁当死!
天上的主静静的看着这一切而感到哀悼
心中感到十分悲伤
"为了你们,我的独子被钉在十字架上
所有的天使都放下他们的乐器并哭泣
"我要派一个人,去预见人类的灭亡
他会像雨如我的泪,雷如我的愤怒一般,代表着我的旨意"
搁下祂的王座,离弃祂对人类的所有希望
这一天,天空流下眼泪
天空流下眼泪
2. ORIGIN OF A
As dawn is weaving between fallen autumn leaves
The poor ones gather under naked trees
Asking how to survive, 'cause the winter breaks
And medieval coldness now from a deep sleep awakes
Libera me domine de morte, aetema in die illa tremenda
It's
As the one arrived - selected to foresee - somethinmg changed without a warning!
(Libera me domine de morte, aetema in die illa tremenda)
Es ward geboren in des Christengottes Zeit
Ein Bub - so die Legende - mit des Sch?pfer's F?higkeit
Zu sehen, was sein wird, im verborgenen, unerkannt
Denn der mit dem Leumund des Ketzers w
