Sopor Aeternus - The Goat


Sopor Aeternus... mmm que puedo decir de ¿ellos?.

Esta ¿banda? de gothic metal es interesante, muy interesante.

A su alrededor se dicen muchas cosas, que si Anna-Varney Cantodea es hombre, que si es mujer, que si es ambos, etc. sobre The Ensemble of Shadows podemos decir lo mismo: nada.

Es casi mágico el halo de misterio que rodea a esta banda y sus integrantes, lo que no es misterioso es su música plagada de melodias tristes, desastrozas, vaya si estas de buenas te pone de malas. Odiosa por momentos, casi al punto de decir: "P*ta madre cabrón no puedo creer cuanto sufrimiento de este tipo, a la chingada".

Pero supongo que habrán por ahi varios a los que les gusta el masoquismo y disfrutan de lacerarse con esta música.

Sin embargo he de reconocer la calidad musical de esta banda, las composiciones ponen en evidencia una vez más que para producir buena música necesitas ser una persona culta, preparada, con mucha experiencia y no cualquier hijo de vecino puede escribir obras maestras como Sopor Aeternus.

Me agrada el halo de misticismo que en lo personal solo puedo comparar con Devil Doll yMr. Doctor. Ambos genios.

Y ya sin mas preámbulos les dejo con una canción que me gusta mucho, no solamente la letra, sino la música.

Enjoy:



Letra:


There is an old goat at my window-pane,
standing upright in a frock-coat,
somewhat earth-coloured and plain.
He is starring down at me ...
and the place where i have chosen to hide ...
in the futile attempt to dissolve ...
I discovered this cell as a child.

There is a medicine-case, he calls "being",
which the goat carries under his arm.
He says, if i only allow him to enter -
I shall never come come to any harm.
He is giving quite an importance to
his frrightning and urgent concern, he says:
"I have come to be your transformer...
I'm your doctor, half goat and half man."

He says that this house will soon crumble,
and that I am going to suffer as it falls.
He says: "Let me in now and I'll be your savior...
I'm your healer ... whith hooves and horns!"

Wow!

Devil Doll - Sacrilegium



Mr. Doctor y su proyecto/banda Devil Doll nos trae esta obra maestra de la música (¿Progresiva?), sin lugar a dudas un proyecto de la más alta calidad, impresionante.

Hace poco que conocí la música de este genio y quedé atrapado, de tal manera que no he escuchado nada más desde que conseguí la discografía.

La voz de Mr. Doctor esta espectacular (como en todas sus producciones), y en especial en Sacrilegium.

Canción que esta llena de pasajes extraordinarios, todos ellos. Así que si estas estas leyendo esto y no has presionado play ¿Qué chingados esperas?, te dejo con la letra.

"Sacrilegium:
Profanatio omnium quae deo
Vel sanctis propositis consecrantur

For long endless millions of instants
I drank at the goblet of illusion
Tilling tumours and follies
Desperately wandering
Through the dark tunnels
Of the bone box
Then, submitting
I chose to drown
In the ashes of my dreams
When purity is raped
Three days are not enough
To resurrect:
Everywhere
Leprosy spreads out
The light of the eyes
Is extinguished
Thunders now shatter
The eardrums
The scream is:
"The plague be on you!"

The dust
I used to build
The impalpable reality
Of my nights
Brings me back
Along the paths
Where I scattered
Useless hopes

Believe!
Can I trust you?
No, please, don't!
Can I trust you?
Forever, really, forever!
Oaths engraved in the water...

Obey!
As a child, or an idiot
Who follows the laws
Of the XXXX others?
Quicksands have just one
Unrelenting goal
Bon voyage, mon amour...

Fight!
That invisible enemy
Nestled behind those
Gorgeous, false, sharp
Smiles

In order to conques the future: and destroy it!
I go back - once more - into the abyss of my nothing
You know
The dead have the virtue of looking like each other

It seems like yesterday
We were children
And playing at running
After each other;
You would often lock me
In the dark cellar
And I implored:
"Please open!"
I used to run trampling on
The little heads
- Cut off -
Spread ripe on the lawn
We had no mother
So we're taking turns
In being her
You were visiting my dreams
Leaving to snow
Through almost
Closed fingers
Glittering crystals
Of verginal illusions

Time seemed out brother
Until the deadly night
Twisted, I preserved you
- Jealously - Beside me
Gelid, adorned with
The damned cloths
Of the sudden
Silence...
... while
Dreamful...
... I offered you
A smile...
... in a suspended flash
The spirit...
... was plucked away
By the...
... sacrilege of fatal arms!

Forever!
Remember?
Forever!
I kept the secret

"Where is the bride?"
"Forsaken him!"
"Fleeing the deceived"
"Left him alone!"

Talk, talk
You fools!

Forever I wanted
Still, lifeless and empty
The shadow of you
To lie on
The bridal couch
Where you laughed
Astonished
Minding the tales
Bizarre and contorted
I told you every night
Prior to submitting
To the empire of the dark

Mors at suar cohortis ludus:
"Anathema, anathema tibi!"
Arcani vis et natura:
"Anathema, anathema tibi!"

They who know, do not speak!
They who talk, do not know!
"Maledictus! Maledictus!"

We are just sketches of men
Caught in a wicked vortex
Where tertium non datur
Between being god
Or being damned

But, after all
Isn't it true that
An inaudible suggestion
An ineffable remorse
A secret instinct
Reveal the impurity
Hidden in success
The vulgarity of victory
The filth nestling
In fortune:
Pure purity
Absolute catharsis
Is in misadventure
In tragedy
In one's ineluctable
Check mate

And when the lights dim
And falls slowly the curtain
I return to dance in a ring
With the skeleton man
And the bearded lady
The bird-boy and
The laughing dwarf;
Among dragons
And avenging angels
Winged maidens
And herds of blind men
Who bark
With open wide orbits
Taking me at last
To the world where
Uncertainty does not exist

In heaven. Or underground"

Magnifico, excelso, grandioso, perfecto.
