AVALON
Última de la obras de estos alemanes hasta la fecha de esta reseña, se trata de su "Empire of the undead", editada en 2014. Se trata de su undécima obra de estudio. No hablaré de nuevo de la historia de esta genial banda pues ya lo hemos hecho en anteriores entradas en este blog. Centrándonos en la obra, según el propio Kai Hansen, su sonido es un poco más "Thrasy" que su anterior larga duración "To the metal" del año 2010, buen disco del que hablaremos en este blog en otra ocasión. En general, en este "Empire of the undead" nos encontramos con una obra muy en la línea de Gamma Ray, sin grandes sorpresas. Sus cifras de ventas han hecho que hayan alcanzado en las listas de ventas finlandesas el puesto 12, el 13 en las alemanas y otras situaciones similares en otras naciones europeas. En este álbum, Gamma Ray cuentan con el batería Dirk Schlachter, quien sustituye a Dan Zimmerman que abandona la banda en 2012. Quiero dejar hoy en el blog una de las canciones que más me han llamado la atención de este álbum, la larga "Avalon", de más de 9 minutos, un tema que sin embargo no se hace demasiado largo ni pesado por los cambios que tiene a lo largo de su ejecución, y de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.
Walking through the mists again
Avalon, seem caught forever
I don't know where I belong
holding on and waiting
Eternity, a lonely grave
from the haze of time I'm calling
is our journey to begin
or am I only dreaming
In a land far away from here
like a star that's blinding
heaven's magic silently appeared
and I'm leaving for the dawn
Is it true that i must sleep
forevermore, just watching changes
heaven knows the story is not over
and the knights will gather
Out in the cold, so long forgotten
leaving the past behind
so timeless we're here, and we will reappear
to find god
From the land of make-believe
comes the faith of the unbeliever
and the eyes of god have turned away
from Avalon
And belief is the holy grail
of the fool and the mass deceiver
turning good into evil deeds
so rise from Avalon
Now has come the point of no return
and i'm feeling fire, fill my veins
the torches starts to burn
and the quest is starting
it's up to you to be forgotten
saddle the horses now
the mindless shall fear when we all reappear
to rise up
From the land of make-believe
comes the faith of the unbeliever
and the eyes of god have turned away
from Avalon
And belief is the holy grail
of the fool and the mass deceiver
turning good into evil deeds
so rise from Avalon
13 knights to reappear
Merlin can you, can you hear
can you see the past and the tomorrow
tell me can we now succeed
find the grail and turn the key
find a better future for us all
ride on out and make the world
brighter than a shiny pearl
for all
Heaven knows I wait for thee
give my love eternally
I'm calling, calling for youon an island in the sun,
only wait for things to come
never think about tomorrow
building castles in the sand,
wait for you to take my hand
without fear and without sorrow
SOLO
From the land of make-believe
comes the faith of the unbeliever
and the eyes of god have turned away
from Avalon
And belief is the holy grail
of the fool and the mass deceiver
turning good into evil deeds
so rise from Avalon
in the morning sun
our journey has begun
don't close your eyes and turn away
put and end to all the grief
to the pain from the make-believe
don't close your eyes and turn away
in the land of the unbeliever
tear the mask of the mass deceiver
don't close your eyes and turn away
in the rays of the morning sun
our journey has begun
don't close your eyes and turn away
Avalon, seem caught forever
I don't know where I belong
holding on and waiting
Eternity, a lonely grave
from the haze of time I'm calling
