«Soulhunter» – это четвёртый альбом немецких хэви металистов Voice. Исполняет группа не слишком тяжёлый и замороченный хэви, наподобие классиков стиля Iron Maiden, Accept и Judas Priest, притом оставаясь оригинальными и узнаваемыми. Вокалист обладает чистым и приятным хэви металическим вокалом, ничего не имеющим общего с современными пауэр певцами. Качество записи на альбоме не совсем идеальное – да, оно чистое и чёткое, но вот гитарной мощи и плотности явно не хватает, в особенности из-за этого страдает слишком легковесная и неуверенная ритм-секция. Хотя по части гитарных риффов, да и самой техники исполнения - претензий быть не может. Тексты песен достаточно мрачноватые и не слишком заумные, в целом, они эксплуатируют общую идею хэви метала, правда без трушности некоторых его представителей. Все песни весьма хитовы и ровны, в результате чего и весь альбом получается ровным, гармоничным и без острых углов. Наиболее зацепили меня такие композиции как динамичная «Devilish Temptation», задорная «Firedevil», средне темповая «Soulhunter». В целом, релиз неплохой. Хотя таким материалом вряд ли можно будет завоевать всеобщее признание – музыка ограничена кругом хэви металистов. |

One thousand voices arise
Broken hopes remembering
To long forgotten times
Lies and feelings sold
It's prisoners of the misery
Tormented souls, betrayed faith
On the flight with the pain of the eternity
Who's destroyed their dreams?
Till the end of all times
Who can still heko them now?
Who stands by their side?
The memory of stories long forgotten
Slowly cuts its way through my mind
I don't want to pay for the cruelty of these sins
Because their souls were blind
Blind with the hope of redemption
And the faith in the eternal bliss
They followed insanity
And its sacred leader up to death
Hot blood flows thorugh my veins
The lights of the town they are still so far
I feel anger
Like it surrounds me
With its icy embrace
Lies and feelings sold
It's prisoners of the misery
Tormented souls, betrayed faith
On the flight with the pain of the eternity
Who's destroyed their dreams?
Till the end of all times
Who can still heko them now?
Who stands by their side?
Lies and feelings sold...
Lies and feelings sold...
Who's destroyed their dreams?
Devilish Temptation
Trapped in the world of broken hearts
The killing future has begun
Your hope lays down in broken parts
Welcome to this suicide command
I am the destroyer
By your weakness I fetch your soul
I am the healer
Of your fears out in the cold
Fire and ice
Sun in the night
Devilish temptations hold you tight
The ghost of evil spreads out his mighty wings
Fire and ice
Sun in the night
Now I'm here to break your pride
Behind the mask of pleasure arises
The devil in disguise
Paradise changed into hell
Your trip comes slowly to an end
You feel the unbearable pain
Till you feel free in your fortress again
I am the destroyer
By your weakness I fetch your soul
I am the healer
Of your fears out in the cold
Fire and ice
Sun in the night
Devilish temptations hold you tight
The ghost of evil spreads out his mighty wings
Fire and ice
Sun in the night
Now I'm here to break your pride
Behind the mask of pleasure arises
The devil in disguise
Fire and ice
Sun in the night
Devilish temptations hold you tight
The ghost of evil spreads out his mighty wings
Fire and ice
Sun in the night
Now I'm here to break your pride
Behind the mask of pleasure arises
The devil in disguise
Valhalla
Sleet, waves, lightning and thunder
Scarfaces with bright eyes
Singing and shouting
On the way to the next bloody challenge
Listen to what Thor calls out to you
Dip your swords into enemy blood
You men with brave hearts, wild and free
Follow the desire of your gods
Great proud battleship, fulfil our dream
Carry us high into the blue sky
Raise your draginhead out of the stream
Great proud battleship, fulfil our dream
Carry us high into the blue sky
To Valhalla we fly
Like in a dream
Fair long plaits blow in the storm
Far away from home
Devoted to their fate
On the search for the eternal glory
Fighting, wounded, killed in action
To please the gods without fear
Praying, cursing with pride in the heart
Valhalla, we are here
Great proud battleship, fulfil our dream
Carry us high into the blue sky
Raise your draginhead out of the stream
Great proud battleship, fulfil our dream
Carry us high into the blue sky

Raise your draginhead out of the stream
Great proud battleship, fulfil our dream

Place Of Deliverance
I hear a whisper in my dreams
Every night and it seems
Seems so real, I can feel it
The voice told me from a strange land
People living hand in hand
With hearts so clear
And without fear
In mind so far away
Show me the place where we faithfully arise
Where hope never dies
Where I can touch the sky
Deliver my soul, deliver my heart from pain
I'm not afraid
I swear I will remain
I see the shine in your eyes
And feel the warmth of your soul
So intimate, so far from hate
Let us kindle the magical spark now
That the embers don't go out
Until eternity
We will be free
In minds so far away
Show me the place where we faithfully arise
Where hope never dies
Where I can touch the sky
Deliver my soul, deliver my heart from pain
I'm not afraid
I swear I will remain
Show me the place where we faithfully arise
Where hope never dies
Where I can touch the sky
Deliver my soul, deliver my heart from pain
I'm not afraid
I swear I will remain
Firedevil
See the smoke at the horizon
Feel the heat of hell swallow up your bloody sins
Your dreams and hopes feel my cleaning flames
See my shining signs
Your cries and entreaty can't help you no more now
My black breath burns in your watering eyes
But nobody is at your side
Run now, run, run for your life
Yes I am
I am the firedevil
Get yourselves to safety
Because I don't know mercy
Run now, run, run for your life
Yes I am
I am the firedevil
Recognize my wisdom
Or you pay a painful pride
Follow my glowing faces
And believe in the power of my divine mission
See the fire in my shining eyes
And the fulfillment of my splendid visions
Your cries and entreaty can't help you no more now
My black breath burns in your watering eyes
But nobody is at your side
Run now, run, run for your life
Yes I am
I am the firedevil
Get yourselves to safety
Because I don't know mercy
Run now, run, run for your life
Yes I am
I am the firedevil
Recognize my wisdom
Or you pay a painful pride
Run now, run, run for your life
Yes I am
I am the firedevil
Get yourselves to safety
Because I don't know mercy
Run now, run, run for your life
Yes I am
I am the firedevil
Recognize my wisdom
Or you pay a painful pride
Fairground Of Illusion
Welcome, welcome, welcome
On the fairground of the illusions
Welcome to the roller-coaster through her life
Welcome to our market
The market of the timeless feelings
They rent our sunrise at the kindest price
What now
In what can one still believe
How now
One still can dream at leisure
Who still holds his hands over us?
Close your eyes and try it once again
Migrate with the birds above
To hear once more the surf of the sea
Seeing the lightning in the evening sky
Close your eyes and then you will be free
Welcome, welcome, welcome
At our game show of the emotions
Welcome to the million chance of her life
They use the opportunity
They are reaching for the stars
The brightness of the moment is her price
What now
In what can one still believe
How now
One still can dream at leisure
Who still holds his hands over us?
Close your eyes and try it once again
Migrate with the birds above
To hear once more the surf of the sea
Seeing the lightning in the evening sky
Close your eyes and then you will be free
What now
In what can one still believe
How now
One still can dream at leisure
Who still holds his hands over us?
Close your eyes and try it once again
Migrate with the birds above
To hear once more the surf of the sea
Seeing the lightning in the evening sky
Close your eyes and then you will be free
Glorious Empire
They came from the east on horses fast as the wind
And death was their permanent companion
Their nameless souls forced their bloody way
At the creation of their new kingdom
I, I have a dream
Of liberty and peace
And the faith in oour glorious empire
You powerful games
Now I lie at the ground
Don't let me die alone
Their king is a devil, his power the pain
His warriors are strong but blind in their hearts
With an iron hand he takes what he wants
On his way to eternal darkness
I, I have a dream
Of liberty and peace
And the faith in our glorious empire
You powerful games
Now I lie at the ground
Don't let me die alone
I, I have a dream
Of liberty and peace
And the faith in our glorious empire
You powerful games
Now I lie at the ground
Let's fight side by side
I've been killed in action
Been knocked down
Feel my powers fade away
What else can I do
To escape this inglorious fate?
I, I have a dream
Of liberty and peace
And the faith in our glorious empire
You powerful games
Now I lie at the ground
Don't let me die alone
I, I have a dream
Of liberty and peace
And the faith in our glorious empire
You powerful games
Now I lie at the ground
Let's fight side by side
Where Have The Angels Disappeared
We met like two colliding stars
The flames of lust burning bright
Your passion was young and strong
And rivers arose, each time you cried
The circle of desire was never meant to break
So boundless was our love
And went the wrong way
Where have the angels disappeared?
They took our love along
Left us all alone
Where have the angels disappeared?
Oh, I have called her name
And they came back and dried our tears
Let's break the ice of silence
Let us laugh, let us dance
The night has thoousands of lights
And two of them shine for us again
The circle of desire was never meant to break
So boundless was our love
And went the wrong way
Where have the angels disappeared?
They took our love along
Left us all alone
Where have the angels disappeared?
Oh, I have called her name
And they came back and dried our tears
Look into my eyes
And wrinkles in my face
Whatever my have happened
Live is too precious to go down in flames
Where have the angels disappeared?
They took our love along
Left us all alone
Where have the angels disappeared?
Oh, I have called her name
And they came back and dried our tears
Like A Heart
Where have the ancient times gone
In which our lives were still so easy to control
We didn't know any tear and got satisfaction
We were invincible and united for reaction
We were like a heart
We were fearless and wild
We were like a heart and a soul
Merged and united
United forever
We thought to be like a big clan
But the time led us into the light of the truth
Our ways parted slowly
And the faith in the freedom broke
Remaining only the memory
Of a rough wild youth
We were like a heart
We were fearless and wild
We were like a heart and a soul
Merged and united
United forever
Sometimes I sit here
With my memories in the silence alone
Fell the old rhythm in my blood
Then I break thee
From my quiet sweet home
We were like a heart
We were fearless and wild
We were like a heart and a soul
Merged and united
United forever
We were like a heart
We were fearless and wild
We were like a heart and a soul
Merged and united
United forever
