La potenza deflagrante del death svedese (i "soliti noti": In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Children of Bodom, Soilwork...) unita a quel mood malinconico che solo le band della terra dei mille laghi (Sentenced e Amorphis in primis) posseggono... ecco quello che troverete in "Inhumanity", esordio col botto dei M.P.E: dopo questo disco la band finnica deciderà di privilegiare maggiormente il versante elettronico della propria musica, e, complici alcuni cambi di line-up, inizierà una sorta di parabola discendente culminata nello scialbo "Liberation = Termination" del 2007, ma ciò non toglie che questo debut album sia un capolavoro nel suo genere, ben rappresentato da canzoni simbolo come "Eternity's Child" o la title track, senza dimenticare la malinconia della traccia di chiusura "Into Illusion", in cui all'eccelente growling del vocalist Ville Viljanen si affianca la voce più sofferta del chitarrista e mastermind Jori Haukio.
Per gli amanti del melodic death un disco da avere assolutamente: l'ideale connubio tra il più classico Gothenburg sound e il versante più moderno dello swedish death, avvolto da una patina di fascino 100% Made in Finland!

01 Another Creation (04:56)
I take a stone and put it away
I take the soil and put it aside
Then mixed them as one
I've seen the stars been born
I've tasted the cosmic universe
When the others sold their world
I did create another dimension
I had created another dimension
Forgotten worlds have been terminated
The whole meaning of mankind is gone
Let planets impale the space
Fly through the nortern sky
We need the moon
like flowers need the rain
eternal journey through the time
let us all fear the day
I am the truth, I am
I am creation
If our peace is broken by another race
we have to fight or stars to fade
in the wind is our last farewells
we hope this fight will never
come to its end
I've seen the stars been born
I've tasted the cosmic universe
When the others left their world
I did create a paradise
I did forget a thousand paradise
Forgotten worlds have been terminated
The whole meaning of mankind is gone
Let planets impale the space
Fly through the nortern sky
We need the moon
like flowers need the rain
eternal journey through the time
let us all fear the day
I am the truth, I am
I am creation
02 Eternity's Child (03:43)
[lyrics by Ville Viljanen]
You have led me into this grief
now it's your turn to get out of this lie
so many years i have been lost
in this circle of time
sometimes if feels like I'm trapped
in my own mind
I can feel my thoughts slipping away
am I going insane
I can see it there on the wall
the door that leads me out
who's head is this now
are these my own memories
Is it the feeligns that make us human
so what am i now
am i a man or just another
empty hollow shell
I feel no pain, I feel no sorrow
the time is right, the time is now
the world will cry, the world will turn
I am eternity's child
Once you swore to me that I have no soul
you liar
but somewhere deep inside me there is one
black as the night
many times you have placed my sins in
front of god
to judge me
but never been judged by you
I feel no pain, I feel no sorrow
the time is right, the time is now
the world will cry, the world will turn
05 D.I.B. (04:44)
[lyrics by Ville Viljanen] Behind the gate lies another man one more step and he would be free he's face so cold and it's turning into stone is this another dream I dream of the lives that hides in this valley of sacrifise they are hidden somewhere beneath the surface and i can hear them breathing Now turn away don't look ever back I can see the flames I can feel my strength and now the one have returned from it's journey Those creatures (are crying) this silence (is fading) to get out from this pain of mine I have to be the one Behind the stars lies another place where this man has allready been the halls so white, the walls so great is this the place i dremt If they call my name I don't wan't to know if they leave behind will they turn away I just want to see all the stars above in the sky in the beautiful space Now turn away don't look ever back I can see the flames I can feel my strenght and now the one have returned from it's journey Those creatures (are crying) this silence (is fading) to get out from this pain of mine I have to be the one too
06 The Lust Called Knowledge (04:25)
[lyrics by Ville Viljanen]
The pleasures and the temptations
they hold our mind and flesh
"now release me"
the price of lust called sacrifise
the silence bow before me
In the sky the angels defeat
in the clouds the winds so grey
sun has lived a thousand lives
he made the winds so pale
The ancient one in the emptiness
we call his name awake
"open your eyes"
please set us free of this torment
where is the knowledge we have to find
In the sky the angels defeat
in the clouds the winds so grey
sun has lived a thousand lives
he made the winds so pale
see the light the flames of desire
and maek our heart go vain
let us climb the mountains of passion
and see the futures way
10 Into Illusion (05:09)
[lyrics by Jori Haukio]
Same as always, we stroke the nail too deep
It's hard to see the coffin's closed again
No connection, between the scattered parts
of life and death. Do not regret, you knew
And so it goes, go round again
The vision still remains
If the flesh is weak the mind is all
Let us not understand
Into illusion
Into illusion, we go
Into illusion
Into illusion, we fall
So plain and simple, desatured thought
As above, so below, i know
Immune to reason when consequense kills all
one thousand times the hand hits the wall
And so it goes, go round again
The vision still remains
If the flesh is weak the mind is all
Let us not understand
Into illusion
Into illusion, we go
Into illusion
Into illusion, we fall
