【專輯名稱】攝魂魔鏡(Mirror Of Madness)
【歌手名稱】秘境北方樂團(Norther)
【專輯語言】英文
【發行日期】2003
【專輯介紹】
素有Children Of Bodom接班人之稱的北方之星狂氣再現集炫技速彈與戰慄美旋律於大成的新世代金屬大作
來自melodic death metal重鎮芬蘭的Norther是在1996年所組成，從原始成員Toni Hallio (Drs) 以及Petri Lindroos (V & G) 開始創團，期間團員更換的問題一直浮現，經由好友Children of Bodom吉他手Alexander Kuoppala的幫助，以及度過種種考驗，最後確定的成員為Kristian Ranta (G)、Jukka Koskinen (B)與Tuomas Planman(K)。
前作「Dreams Of Endless War」可說是2002年melodic death metal樂界的一大驚喜，尤其是此專輯在2003年5月13日於SnakeNet Metal Radio登上2002年度百大專輯的第4名，成績不斐！然而這個氣焰仍持續延燒，2003新作「Mirror Of Madness」發行不久便已登上芬蘭專輯榜的第11名，其受歡迎的程度已直逼對Norther影響頗深的Children of Bodom和Stratovarius，可謂英雄出少年！
以更為成熟的腳步邁進，「Mirror Of Madness」除了在吉他/鍵盤速彈以及旋律編曲上更加精進，在音色與節奏架構上也呈現出power/speed和新世代death metal交織融合的極致風格，既狂野又不失穩重。前作多收錄了Europe的 "The Final Countdown"與Skid Row的 "Youth Gone Wild"翻唱曲，本作則多收錄翻自Offspring的名曲"Smash"，想一睹Norther如何將punk/alternative rock變成melodic death版？請親自嘗試。

01 Blackhearted
You're seeking perfection,
but your disillusions are
leading to destruction
You're bleeding for salvation,
but you can't see,
that you are the damnation,
itself.
Your hatred's growing on
it's growing strong
and the devil's born
releasing poison to a mind
which is already torn
last days of innocence
now waste your self
have no regrets
tomorrow it's too late
you'll lose your soul
you'll burn in hell
[chorus]
how many years will you bleed
so many devils to feed
how long time to suffer
...is eternity
[chorus]
[solo: K.Ranta]
[solo: P.Lindroos]
Disease is moving on
it's spreading on
it's getting strong
black harmony tonight
too late to leave
too late to hide
cold wind which blows inside
can tell the truth you lost,
you died
the final ride is here
you'll see the truth
shall have no fear
[chorus]
how many years will you bleed
so many devils to feed
how long time to suffer
...is eternity
[chorus]
[solo: T.Planman]
[chorus]
how many years will you bleed
so many devils to feed
how long time to suffer
...is eternity
how many years have you been
blackhearted and mean
no rest for your soul
there will be no divinity
[chorus]作者: jk520 時間: 2012-1-29 10:47 PM
02 Betrayed
One morning I woke up,
realised I've been betrayed
shadows of yesterday
fill my mind as I drift away
no matter what's ahead.
I'll face the death
I'll find my hate
this twisted fate I have
shall lead the way
and make you brake
One night I went to die,
deceived again,
I was ready to fly
thousand blades waiting for me,
so fuck you all,
I was meant to be free
my hate was cheating me,
is this the path,
I cannot see
too many bridges burned,
can't you see I am the traitor
[chorus]
would you die for my hate now
burning in my eyes,
burning me inside.
I guess I now have to cut you
while lying by your side,
I'm out of my mind
[chorus]
[solo: P.Lindroos]
this time the conspiracy,
in your mind went out of line
no more forgiving,
close your eyes
I'll help you to die
in the night I am beside you,
weird voices in my mind
you're asleep and I love you,
but more than thousand times I cut you
[chorus]
would you die for my hate now
burning in my eyes,
burning me inside
I guess I now have to cut you
while lying by your side,
I'm out of my mind!
[chorus]
that night I took your life
and now this traitor dies
and so he died...作者: jk520 時間: 2012-1-29 10:50 PM
03 Of Darkness And Light
Gather 'round in the main square
come tonight my child
see the end of a sinful life
the end of mischievous lies
So I went among the crowd
the whispers cursed her name
Then through the people's frantic shout
she was brought to be tested by the flame
[chorus]
And I saw her smile
as the flames rose
She looked up to the sky
and the air froze
Something in her eyes
[chorus]
Too much for the narrow minds
condemned as an evil whore
She didn't mind, 'cause deep inside
she had reached something more
[chorus]
And I saw her smile
as the flames rose
She looked up to the sky
and the air froze
Something in her eyes
of darkness and light
[chorus]
[chorus]
And I saw her smile
as the flames rose
I looked into her eyes
I saw that she knows
things beyond this life
Of Darkness and Light

04 Midnight Walker
I am here again
when the day is done
I'm back again
to steal your life
and I won't go away
Tonight's the night to die
you can try to run
but you will die
The end end is near
look at me
you'll feel the fear
I'm your Master,
Emperor, the King
I will always rule your night
You must run faster
the death is in the ring
Staring right into your eyes
[chorus]
I'll take away your life
and end your pain inside
I wan't to die with you, like you
I am the deadly stalker
I am the Midnight Walker
the one you try to hide
Now say your life goodbye
[chorus]
I'm the shadow behind you
that you can't see
but you know it's there
The day is rising
and I'm fading away
Daytime has made you free
but only for today
Dusk is falling
and once again
I'm in your head
I'm your nightmare,
fantasy and insanity
Only thing you see
death will make you free
So walk a little closer
and give your life to me
Let me end your pain
[chorus]
I'll take away your life
and end your pain inside
I wan't to die with you, like you
I am the deadly stalker
I am the Midnight Walker
the one you try to hide
Now say your life goodbye
[chorus]
[chorus]
I'll take away your life
and end your pain inside
I wan't to die with you, like you
I am the deadly stalker
I am the Midnight Walker
the one you try to hide
Now say your life goodbye
[chorus]作者: jk520 時間: 2012-1-29 10:59 PM
05 Cry
Your words echoing deep in my mind
Fearing the hurt of things to come
you dwell in the days left behind
To live or die
Wandering the strange ways of time
Life can go by in a blink of an eye
and minutes can hold you
for thousands of years
or never let go
[chorus]
The light is gone now
once so bright
No use to fight
you will fall down
to your knees
Cry
[chorus]
Your search has brought you nothing but pain
Looking for light with blindfolded eyes
you only got burned by the flame
Can't take another day
[solo: T.Planman]
[chorus]
The light is gone now
once so bright
No use to fight
you will fall down
to your knees
Cry
[chorus]
[chorus]
The light is gone now
once so bright
Crushed in the cold hands
with no meaning
beautiful things
can be easily broken
Cry
[chorus]作者: jk520 時間: 2012-1-29 11:01 PM
06 Everything Is An End
Closed around
the deepening shades of death
and life
with all its glory fades away
no glory there has ever been in
life obscure
life deceiving
death revealing
Like trapped in a cage,
we're bound to death
slaves to our bodies,
from cradle to the grave
abandoned,
in the arms of a plague
All efforts in vain,
life is pain
reaching the truth,
death is the proof
...reveals the truth
[chorus]
Everything is an end
Everything is an end
love lost
life fading away
suffer in truth
[chorus]
Under the gun
love and life
lost,
shiver in darkness surrounding
no love there has ever been,
here, in the nest of disease
life deceiving
death revealing
[solo: J.Koskinen]
[solo: K.Ranta]
Like trapped in a cage,
we're bound to death
slaves to our bodies,
from cradle to the grave
abandoned,
in the arms of a plague
All efforts in vein,
life is pain
reaching the truth,
death is the proof
...reveals the truth
[chorus]
Everything is an end
Everything is an end
love lost
life fading away
suffer in truth
[chorus]

07 Unleash Hell
Night falls, it's time to kill
this fist will give you the thrill
Your blood is running like the rain
you are begging, no more pain
My need to kill grows bigger and bigger
when I touch the trigger
This bullet that I will send
is the bringer of your death
I'm the god that you will need
Hatred and death sleep in my bed
In my eyes you're not doing well
keep on praying before I unleash hell
Time will tell
when I unleash hell
Blood will flow
when I unleash hell
Bullets fly, I pulled the trigger
Revenge is mine, sweet and bitter
Welcome to my hell on earth
this time you'll get hurt
I reload my gun, get ready to run
Fuck your life I'm just having fun
Your time is up, I'll never stop
I'll make you rot, I'll fill your grave
[solo: P.Lindroos]
Time will tell
when I unleash hell
Blood will flow
when I unleash hell
Now your world is gone
you're not around to see the dawn
or the things that I will do
but you know, it's all for you
Today this world will meet it's god
I'll end this shit with a flood of blood
No return - it has been done
the age of death has begun
[solo: K.Ranta]作者: jk520 時間: 2012-1-29 11:10 PM
08 Dead
There's pain within,
I can't define
Inside, within, inside,
illhealthy I feel
[chorus]
When your inmost yields
and you fall
deeper and deeper into grief
for each breath you take
[chorus]
Dark dresses my pale skin
cold shivers down my spine
I have lost hope
of loving a day of life
Faith
has fallen from me
I'm rotting inside
Fear
sickening conditions
frightening reflections
...feeling divine!!!
...so dim the light in me...
...no nothing...
...all ending...
[solo: P.Lindroos & K.Ranta]
Sleeping well in my killing bed
staring blind around -
Am I slipping away?
In the hollow decorating my grave
begging please...
disconnect the pain
[chorus]
When you're going blind
from your tears
and you wander deeper
and deeper into sorrow
for each step you take
And your feet won't carry
you no more
and you sink deeper
and deeper into misery
and you'll soon be...dead
[chorus]
...so dim the light in me...
...no nothing...
...all ending...作者: jk520 時間: 2012-1-29 11:15 PM
09 Mirror Of Madness
I'm caught by the Mirror,
it's like a Nightmare,
I cannot get out
I'm seeing that face again
and it's making me mad
My rage and hate is taking over
when you look at me
so I close my eyes
and you scream to me
Leave me alone,
you're not real to me
this is the way it has to be
This mirror is twisted
and so are you
[chorus]
Hey you, in the mirror
stop twisting my weak mind
Mirror of madness,
stop haunting me
Hey you, before the mirror
your eyes keep telling you lies
Mirror of madness,
is making you insane
[chorus]
Fuck off my mind,
I told you to go
but you don't believe
so I'm forced to deceive
There is no other way
to end this day
I believe you are real
and you live in me
but you have to die
Step into the light,
don't be shy
You keep on telling me your lies,
"Kill yourself and it's allright"
Don't want to die but I hope you do
[solo: K.Ranta]
[solo: P.Lindroos]
[chorus]
Hey you, in the Mirror
I'll smash your face to pieces
Mirror of madness,
this dream is over
No more, you no more
your face is gone, forever
Mirror of madness,
left me alone
[chorus]
forever gone...作者: jk520 時間: 2012-1-29 11:22 PM

11 Smash
[Japanese version only]
[Offspring cover]
Head over heals I've fit in before
Now I don't wanna do it no more
I've held it all in with blood on my face
Built it up man so bad you can taste
I don't slag no one
I don't even judge
Don't give a shit 'cause I'm not gonna budge
I just want to be who I want to be
Guess that's hard for others to see
[Chorus]
I'm not a trendy asshole
I Do what I want
I Do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole
Don't give a fuck
If it's good enough for you
Cause I am alive
Smash is the way you feel all alone
Like an outcast you're out on your own
Smash is the way you deal with your life
Like an outcast you're smashing your strife
Head over heels I've fit in before
Now I don't want to do it no more
I just want to be who I want to be
Guess that's hard for others to see
