AFTER THE STORM
Scanner se forma en 1982, funcionaron como "Lions Breed" entre el 82 y el 86. Como Scanner llevan 6 discos de estudio, editados entre los años 1988, con su espectacular "Hypertrace", y "The judgement", de este 2015, una obra salida tras 13 años de silencio y de la que hablaremos más adelante pues aún le debo unas cuantas escuchas al disco, aunque lo poco que he escuchado me ha sonado como mínimo prometedor. Ya hemos hablado anteriormente en el blog de esta banda para referirnos a sus antológicos dos primeros discos, "Hypertrace" de 1988, y "Terminal Earth", del 89, donde desarrollaron el personal estilo musical que les caracteriza, ese power, en ocasiones speed metal con temática de ciencia ficción que es su sello. Tras firmar por "Massacre Records", y con una espera de seis años tras su anterior LP, editan en 1995 su tercer larga duración, "Mental Reservation", un disco en el que se nota un cierto cambio en el sonido de la banda, a pesar de el concepto musical permanece inalterado, con cambios en el "Line up" de la banda, en el puesto de vocalista, aunque esta banda ha tenido infinidad de cambios internos, lo que puede explicar los largos periodos en ocasiones de tiempo entre obra y obra, y su irregularidad como banda, algo que la inestabilidad en las formaciones suele agudizar, y es que es más que posible que sus mejores obras sean las dos primeras, (al menos esa es mi opinión), sobre todo el "Hypertrace", que mostraba esa innovación para le época. Esta tercera obra es conceptual, siempre dentro de la ciencia ficción y la base musical no difiere en exceso de sus predecesoras, aunque creo que el "filo" de los temas en general es menor, aunque es más que interesante escuchar la obra pues siempre encontrarás calidad de la marca "Scanner", como sucede en esta canción de la que hoy quiero dejar en el blog, "After the storm", una canción de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.
Boris made his way. Nothing seemed able to stop him. The situation became
extreme. We were at war 7 nations. Boris expanded his territory to the double.
It was a nuclear inferno. And there was an unbearable silence between two
waves of an revenge - attack. Hopes were blown away and our souls had
burned out. What was left...
...AFTER THE STORM
Can't you hear, can't you hear our moans, our crying?
Dark is here, the mothers grieve, their babies dying
Oh merciful Lord, forgive we kept our heads in the sand
Not to blame, beyond is where we'll apprehend
Out in the war it's hand to keep the faith
Knowing nobody's giving us true hopes
After the Storm we'd watch the new sunrise
But the sun is obscured in sight doesn't heave
After the Storm we'd wish him to arise
Again dispel the dark clouds, forgive and let live
So many questions not any answers has been told
Where should we go
How long we'll stay blind in this crystal world
Out in the war, how should we keep the faith
Knowing nothing gives us hope at all
And the blizzard going on... still...
After the Storm we'd watch the new sunrise
But the sun is obscured in sight doesn't heave
After the Storm we'd wish him to arise
Again dispel the dark clouds, forgive and let live
"I know that nothing gives me a ray of hope
But true is my regret - the tears under the iron vell..."
After the Storm we'd watch the new sunrise
But the sun is obscured in sight doesn't heave
After the Storm we'd wish him to arise
Again the dispel the dark clouds, forgive and let live
