Conceived in a dying world
Imprisoned in a war of attrition
Pushed past the point of no return
The indolence fuels our extinction
Testament for the bleeding
Last rites for the crucified
Desperate to find a way out
From this nightmare we've contrived
Embrace the exile, to never be
The protagonist of your lies
All our coin will have turned to rust
As Charon peels them off our eyes
Testament for the bleeding
Pushed past the point of no return
The righteous are either buried or silenced
And your death is carved in every word
Of those who promised you salvation
No deliverance
Within the boundaries of this world
My testament, written in blood
Last rites for the crucified
Testament

Verdict
02:57
|
|||
|
Born to tear apart all we were given
Defaced the world of the living
Failed to see the signs
Yet we've been warned a thousand times
Unwanted, unbidden
A final call to repent
Whispers of unheard screams
Pleading for revenge
Hear the call to arms
Every life unjust ends in violence
There'll be no mercy
No more forgiveness
Verdict
Immaculate contempt
Every violation avenged
Pounding of the warmachines
Heralding our requiem
Unwanted, unbidden
A final call to repent
Whispers of unheard screams
Pleading for revenge
Hear the call to arms
Every life unjust ends in violence
There'll be no mercy
No more forgiveness
Verdict
A call to arms

The Last Hour
02:42
|
|||
|
An existence
Of torment and pain
Pray but none will listen
Dreading every numbered day
Every waking hour
To contemplate the last
Spared from another tomorrow
In this living hell
Hatred purified through bloodshed
The only way to end the neglect
Oppressor eviscerated
Another death in the promised land
Every waking hour
Waiting for the last
Spare me from another tomorrow
In this living hell
Another death in your promised land
Fuck your gods
Hatred purified through bloodshed
The only way to end the neglect
Oppressor eviscerated
Another death in the promised land

Beyond Salvation
01:04
|
|||
|
Neck deep in the quicksand
All I had I gave
I've lost touch with every single thing
To which I could relate
All of our trust betrayed
Every time I tried has been
Nothing but my next mistake
No absolution
Every effort made feeds the pain
We are forsaken
And can't be saved
|

Blind to all, but our own suffering
Deaf to all, but our own pain
Mortality, foe or saviour
The poisoned gift of eternal sleep
Humanity, a dying breed
We have become our own worst enemy
Too submerged in self-loathing
Slowly we regress
Fallen prey to the weakness
Instilled within our flesh
What have we become
There'll be
Judgment for all we've done
What have we become now
Shadows in the wake of a dying breed
Judgment for all we've done
What have we become now
Our own worst enemy
Judgment will be bestowed upon us
Upon us all
Humanity
Reap what you sow
What have we become now
What have we become
Judgment for all we've done

Were Dead Ends Meet
03:38
|

|
Time creeps slowly through the hour glass
Our days are numbered, life expires with every breath
Spiraling down, down from day one
Bound to end up where the dead ends meet
Head first into oblivion
But whatever comes your way
Your struggles are mine
No one can ever degrade
The one thing keeping us alive
I'm my brother's keeper, through hell and back
All we'll have to endure, for every scar we share
Spiraling down, down from day one
But I'll be there when your dead ends meet
Through hell and back
When dead ends meet

Buried Alive
02:25
|

|
Now I see your true face
No more playing the fool
Payback. All the pain you've caused
Now will come to haunt you
The truth unfolds
Every lie unraveled
Before our own eyes
Yet we'll only feel the heat
When the first is burned alive
Now I see your true face
And there's nothing you can do
No disguise, will ever hide
All the pain you've caused now will come to haunt you
Now I see your true face
And there's nothing you can do
Forever the enemy
Of all I was brought up to be
Dead from the start
Baptised, buried alive
Now I see your true face
And there's nothing you can do

Final Witness
03:15
|
|||
|
Your worst fear awakens
Truth from lies discerned
Left to bleed dry, now reclaiming
All the years in which I've burned
Retribution
No longer shall I bow
Prepare to wage the final war
That'll strike you down
Let the rage be my guide
Hatred kills the pain
Along with all that is left of me
As our worlds collide
I'll be the last, the last one standing
And when the day arrives
I'll be the final witness to your demise
No surrender
One last common cause
Your defeat will be our beacon
In a time where hope is lost
Found a sense of purpose
Channel the disdain
Drag you down into the furnace
Along with all, all that is left of me
As our worlds collide
I'll be the last, the last one standing
And when the day arrives
I'll be the final witness to your demise
I’ll drag you down
Along with all, all that's left of me

Before The Fall
02:03
|
|||
|
Before a single thought is granted
We do anything we're told
Perception turns to truth so fast
In the eye of whom beholds
One among many
Our identities dissolve
This false sense of safety
The pride before the fall
Before the fall
There will be consequences
After the conceit
No reconciliation
For the blind and the deceived
The lengths that we'd all go to
To deny the necessity for change
Self righteousness fuels the inertion
That'll come to seal our fate
Before the fall

Another Victim
02:56
|
|||
|
Consumed by the misery
Trying so hard to kill the ache
Driven to the brink of insanity
By the things that can't be changed
Driven to the brink of insanity
All will suffer, suffer the consequence
Consumed by the misery
Suffer the consequence
So hard to let go
But even harder to hold on
Slowly falling apart
Because of what can't be undone
Driven to the brink of insanity
All will suffer, suffer the consequence
The danger lies in living on
To mourn what's self inflicted
Another life of could've beens
Always I will refuse to be, another victim

about
Bjorn Dossche of Rise & Fall and Chain Reaction on Redemption Denied and their new album "Where Dead Ends Meet":
Somehow, longevity is a rare thing in hardcore. Consider yourself lucky if your favourite band made it past the 3 year mark. What's even rarer is a band that pushes on - despite line-up changes, personal careers and the pressure of "adult" life - to deliver their first ever full length album almost a decade after their debut EP.
But, that's exactly what Redemption Denied did. And the damn thing hits like a sledgehammer. Granted, the subtle approach was never theirs, but on this album the vigor, determination and sheer power can be felt in every single song, every single riff and every single word singer Kasper spits. It's clear that while "Where Dead Ends Meet" was being written, Redemption Denied sharpened their skills and made sure their all out assault didn't lose the dynamics needed to keep everyone's attention, all of the time.
Their 90s CTHC (Hatebreed, Death Threat) meets Upstate NY (All Out War, Stigmata) sound has never hit harder, not in the least by the increased death metal influence that tips "Where Dead Ends Meet" over the edge of what's socially acceptable in terms of heaviness. The destructive aggression their music possesses, is more than matched by the apocalyptic, socio-political lyrics that strike a precarious balance between embittered and empowering. It's their testament, written in blood.
"Where Dead Ends meet" was recorded at Jupiter Studios in their native Belgium, mixed to perfection by Taylor Young (Nails, Twitching Tongues, Xibalba, God's Hate) and mastered by Brad Boatright (Ringworm, Never Ending Game, Integrity), and boasts incredible cover art by Ridge Rhine (Terror, Knocked Loose, Judiciary). To top things off, it also features guest vocals by Tyler Mullen (Year Of The Knife) and Bjorn Dossche (Chain Reaction, Rise And Fall).

Ce disque me rappelle les Rage against the machine, fatalement. Mais la musique me plaît davantage, car plus hardcore. Il y a du riff pour des mois.
