I'm listening to the new Arch Enemy album, Will to Power.
I got the CD in the mail today, but here's a Youtube link for anyone who is curious and lazy:



It's Arch Enemy... so don't expect a reinvention of metal. For what it's worth, I think there's several really great riffs on this thing so far. It will take me several passes through the whole album to really figure out how good it is compared to their other albums. Generally, I like all Angela Gossow era albums and the previous one with Alissa was allright, if perhaps relying a bit too much on various things the band had done many times before.

Go to 24:00 to get to the best "standing on a mountain top, swirling your hair around while plaing air guitar" moment on the album.

Oh my.
Good or bad things?
Do we need to get a restraining order?

TFW you realize "Darkness Descends" is about Judge Dredd. WTF but hella cool.





Quote:
FEAR
The world now stands ancient, showing her age
Antique, senile, archaic
Peroration impending, not one to assuage
The human remnants of earth
Pandemic winds chill the soul
Eradication of the will
Nihilism extracts its toll
Frightening the meekly servile

Sacrosanct, the religious ones
Are fast becoming extinct
Chaotic precursors of what will befall
Permeate the night air
The fear of the end preys on the minds
Of all the soon-to-be dead
With death at the hands of a hideous fiend
A grisly fate to comprehend

[Chorus]
DEATH
This city is guilty
The crime is life
The sentence is death

DARKNESS DESCENDS

[repeat 3 times]

FIRE
Internal combustion, plutonic rage
The bodies create their own hell
The flame from within, unleashed from its cage
Purging the great sins of all
Admissions of guilt are all that are sought
By judges who have twisted laws
The quick abrogation of the populace
Striking with great enmity

Listing the ways in which we will die
As the prophets claim we will soon
Self-immolation that's unjustified
Stygian shores ahead loom
The coffins are ready, the death warrant signed
Depression has swiftly set in
Inimical powers against humankind
This charnelhouse ensanguined

[Chorus (4 times)]
[Guitar Solos:]
[- J. Durkin]
[- E. Meyer]
[- J. Durkin]
[- E. Meyer]
[- J. Durkin]
[- E. Meyer]

MORTIS
Decaying, the ruins fall swift to the ground
The carnage is morbid and great
Mephitic deathstench of corpses abound
The earth meets an untimely fate
The horrific malignance, spreading its wings
Across the expanse of the sky
Contamination and all that it brings
The judges commit genocide

Retaliation, a useless ploy
We've gazed into the face of fear
We know that it stands for our own bitter end
The end we realize is now here
The claws of denouement grasp at our lungs
Asphyxiation rules supreme
The future of mankind cut down while they're young
Our children die clutching their dreams...

[Chorus (4 times)]

The entire reason I've been playing this album so much over the last few days is cause I'm reading Judge Dredd and I simply have to hear "I Am the Law" at least five times a day, the rest of the album I just let play afterward cause it's awesome.

P.S. The day after I first started reading Dredd I was at work thinking about it and this song was stuck in my head, and I started getting choked up for no god damn reason. Like, throughout my entire shift and not just once or twice. I was literally almost crying over the sheer coolness of both Judge Dredd and Anthrax combined and that's retarded.
