Il festival di Wacken, che dal 1990 si tiene nella piccola cittadina tedesca a poche decine di chilometri da Amburgo, è uno dei più conosciuti ed importanti raduni di musica Heavy Metal; ogni anno decine di migliaia di persone, provenienti da ogni parte del globo, partecipano alla famosa kermesse che si protrae per tre giorni. Sono circa una settantina le band ingaggiate ad ogni edizione che si alternano sui quattro palchi; con una organizzazione pressochè perfetta (altro che festival italiani!!).
Gli svedesi Hypocrisy vi suonano nel 1998, precisamente nella serata dell'otto di Agosto. Non hanno molto tempo a disposizione i quattro cavalieri dell'apocalisse, guidati da Peter Tagtgren; un'ora scarsa nella quale riescono nell'intento, parafrasando il titolo dell'opera, di distruggere ed annichilire il pubblico, travolto e soffocato dal loro ipetuoso ed aggressivo Death Metal.
Un brevissimo intro consente ai nostri di salire sul palco; subito dopo partono le macilenti note di "Roswell-47". Un mid-tempo bastardo, angosciante; sorretto dall'inquieto growl strappatissimo di Peter e dall'imponente lavoro combinato di basso e batteria; livello di registrazione e qualità del suono impeccabili. Immagino anche un volume disturbante da tanto elevato: meglio di così non si poteva iniziare!!
La ben più dinamica e veloce "Inseminated Adoption" ci catapulta in territori tipicamente Death Metal: con un'accelerazione finale che è puro delirio e sofferenza, soprattutto per il pubblico presente al di sotto del palco. Senza tregua alcuna, senza un minimo di stacco: tutto il disco è un continuo susseguirsi di brani più cadenzati e potenti, seguiti da canzoni devastanti nella loro furia esecutiva.
Tocca alla lunga e trattenuta "Apocalypse", brano che apriva il loro indiscusso capolavoro "The Fourth Dimension": una dimostrazione di potenza, di forza disumana con il suo incedere lento, avvolgente, malato. Un altro pezzo spaccaossa nel vero senso della parola che tutto annienta nel suo asfittico avanzare imperioso.
Clamorosa l'accoppiata quasi sul finire di "Pleasure Of Molestation" e "Killing Art": il pandemonio totale. Death Metal grezzo, sporco, incisivo. Un'orgia in musica di una spietata violenza suonata ad una velocità prossima al deragliamento totale. Facile immaginare, a questo punto del concerto, il macello tra il pubblico desideroso di tale primordiale caos.
Siamo finalmente alla fine con "The Final Chapter": e qui si rallenta, entrando per l'ennesima volta in lidi Death-Doom di fascinosa e malsana bellezza.
Li sento, li vedo uscire uno alla volta, abbandonando trionfanti il palco: grandissimo disco per una grandissima band...LEFT TO ROT...
Ma non è finita perchè l'album si conclude con quattro nuove canzoni registrate in studio: doveroso almeno segnalare la pugnalata Death'n'Roll di "Time Warp" dove gli Hypocrisy dimostrano una volta ancora di essere uno dei gruppi più rappresentativi di tutta la scena estrema scandinava...MICIDIALI...!!!
Elenco tracce e testi
01 Roswell 47 (00:00)
Their freedom was taken away as they crashed to be a project of search
The experiment will make sure it won't last, all expect starlight once
The ascent alien ship was shot at because national security was in jeopardy
They say a weather balloon crashed, so we know it's bullshit
We have the right to know what really happened in
Roswell 47!
Shipping back pieces hangar, to slowly put it together
To find new weapon technology, and maybe answer our dreams forever!
The fatal afraid of spread disease, chaos and confusion
The energy physics long will be worth, the information may be worthless?
That's why we have the right to really know what happened
Roswell 47!
They picked him as the offers in play
Might try to really happen
They lost control, and crashed inRoswell... 1947!
02 Killing Art (00:00)
They got what to do to hurt
We're taking all your dead
Slayed race abandoned
Another about this
Did it
Like a mother fuckin massacre
Take the loss like a bullet
Like a bone tap crushing through your skull
The fallen desolation never leave
God can't help you now!
Jesus can't block us off
Damnation!
You'll turn back
This means war
Stuff our soul with people
Pissing on your crusifix
They will come for you
Pain crushing through you!
We're out against might
Rain down to burn
We cannot compete
Spells of world
Growing wave
Of the strike
The building up
Against God
Feel no pain
All this is the spiritual god
Of the world
Like a mother fuckin masacre
Take your loss and the bullet
Make it back because I bet you can't
The fallen desolation never leave
God can't help you now!
Jesus can't block us off
Damnation!
03 The Final Chapter (00:00)
During some abductions
I'm aware of them.
Of they're taking spermsamples
in many different ways.
They've done it in many different ways.
With tubes, with a... like catheters.
There's one way I not been able to deal with.
Emotionaly or under aggression.
And that's when there's a being on top of me...
I can feel it growing stonger.
the hate towards them.
I've got nothing to live for
Only to stay as another victim.
They've been tourturing me my whole life.
I cannot understand. Why!
for how long can I go on
when they have already raped every inch of me
why won't they leave me alone
this is not the life I've chosen.
It's time to put an end to this pain.
I wanna get away from this hell.
Those black empty eyes is haunting me.
hate and sorrow builds up inside
I must take my life to be free.
This will be my final chapter...
04 Inseminated Adoption (00:00)
In a time of death.
I'm running through my head.
Is it just another suicidal dream?
I lost control.
They begin the work.
Realities are a major terror.
Into suffer, my life would follow.
Know-it-alls, but can't see, what's been done to me.
SAVE ME!
Murdered before livin� life.
Better take your weak into the morgue.
Your lame I can awake.
SAVE ME!
I'm fighting to exist.
Needles and instruments strapped in my head.
I will never be the same!!!
Here we go!
There's nothing left.
They explore my brain, spinning through me as a funnel.
There's gotta be an end.
My execution�s near.
There will be no tomorrow.
Know-it-alls, but can't see, what's been done to me.
SAVE ME!
Murdered before livin� life.
Better take your weak into the morgue.
Their lame I can awake.
SAVE ME!
I'm fighting to exist.
Needles and instruments strapped in my head.
I will never be the same!!!
I will never be the same!
NEVER!
NEVER!
NEVER...
05 A Coming Race (00:00)
Why all this searching?
The answer's always been near.
It is our destiny.
Away from a screeching people.
Waiting to destroy ourselves.
They can't interfere with history.
Nuclear creation. For eternity
(Looking for others) (they can't be strained/that can't be seen)
All I wish they would land here.
But it's too late now.
Time is dying (I told you)
(We've fallen to our own decay)
[again]
[SOLO]
[scream]
In the other dimension.
Time will no longer exist.
No one never grow old.
Something mankind will never resist.
Try destroying it, (I told you)
[chorus x2]
06 Apocalypse (00:00)
...since I was a child, I saw my own way.
and god was not a part of it.
I am so sick of hearing your preach about heaven
all this bullshit about paradise.
[chanting]
You (The) christians must be stopped from spreading all the lies,
(The only way to gather them, with a )
(with the sound) (a bang.)
Have mercy
It's the ending...of your life.
As my mind slips away,
I see no end of this misery
The only truth is myself,
I can't go on this way
NOOOO!!
[Chantings]
I use for killing, to the end of the rainbow.
All alone I'll be there.
NOOO!!!
When their time has arrived.
Have mercy.
It's the end, of your life.
When their time has arrived.
Have mercy.
It's the ending, of your life.

08 Buried (00:00)
???
Another change of flesh
You arent awake to pay for death
nothing lies..???
???
You will drown and bleed to death
One down
And more to kill
To clean up this world
To ???
???
To get the adrenalin pumping
Your remains of a broken body
Thrown in a coffin
Buried six feet under
They never see the sign of breathing
Your flesh will be decaying
Murdered, buried, forgotten
Another life destroyed
Leaving the body
For another realm
My body grows warm as I feel you await my god
Squeese the cold, pale body as I fuck it
Murdered, buried, forgotten
Another life destroyed
09 Left To Rot (00:00)
Evolved in darkness, You'll never believe;
A ritual of evil, To conquer your dreams;
I sacrifice the unborn baby, In spite of the altar;
I'll put the curse on you, to show you my power;
Die for me in hell,
So I can get rid of your smell;
Fires will fall from the sky,
Your love will turn to hate;
No more lies,
You'll never see the light of day;
Die.........You must pay!
Give me your hands,
I cut them off;
Mortuaries standing,
So uniform;
You start your crying,
I steal your tears;
You liar,
I am your fear;
Die.........You must pay!
I'll drag you down in hell,
Show you what you are;
I'll steal your soul,
And forever you will burn in......Hell!!
10 The Fourth Dimension (00:00)
As my soul leaves the body
A dream taken to hell
To explore the unknown
For a vision of you of my life
The pressure reaches my soul,
As I see my destiny
All panic goes through my mind,
As I see myself slowly die
[Chorus:]
Wake me up from this nightmare
I cry out, "Make it stop!"
Get me back in my body
I'll never never leave it again
Never trust in youre own instincts on a journey to hell
I can see my body lying, empty.
And so I reach out, and grab it and awake myself up.
OH GOD!!!
I feel a pity for all that died
'Cause I'm stuck here, in hell
[Repeat Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus]
A dream taken to hell
11 Pleasure Of Molestation (00:00)
Conquest is my art!!!
Some say, in God's ear.
I'm yours 'til you find my
noose.
Your name, brought us here.
To molest, this evil boy.
[chorus]
Leprosy.
God's own destiny.
Their gathering.
Brought you to me!
At the altar they recently
found you.
Running loose with hellish
volition.
In here your soul will be
dead.
All livings beings will rot in
Hell!
[end of chorus]
Call my name, I will be.
An admission that ceased to
exist.
I curse, thee whom I save.
Darkening, will son be here.
Wait, sacrifice my live.
With this evil unholy knife.
With the opening hand to a
god.
Fuck Jesus Christ!!!
Slaves of the Lie, they needed
eyes.
Users, beggars, believe yours.
I won't deny!
Dying, for God, I'm not with
him.
Crime, is in our... hearts.
You not reveal!
[repeat chorus 1 time]
Sacrifice a virgin on your
knife.
Would you be a servant, for
Satan or mankind?
Sacrificing pieces of your
life.
I carry no grief, for Jesus
Christ!!!
