Notes

Zwielicht is the fourth full-length by German deathcore band Mental Cruelty, released on 23 June 2023 through Century Media Records. Production, mixing and mastering were completed at Random Awesome Studios in Midland, Michigan; Josh Schroeder is specifically credited with mixing and mastering. The recording lineup comprised Lukas Nicolai on vocals, Marvin Kessler and Nahuel Lozano on guitars, Viktor Dick on bass, and Danny Straßer on drums.

The album develops symphonic deathcore through tremolo-picked black-metal voicings, blast-beat passages, layered choirs and orchestration, low-register chromatic breakdowns, and Nordic-folk-derived acoustic interludes. Its production uses tightly controlled kick and snare transients, wide rhythm-guitar layering, heavily compressed low-end impact and orchestral automation that preserves vocal and percussion definition. Nicolai alternates gutturals, black-metal shrieks, overtone-heavy extreme techniques and limited clean singing, while the arrangements treat breakdowns as sectional contrasts rather than the sole structural focus.

Decapitated - Winds of Creation (2000)

Decapitated — The First Damned (Track 3)

Information

Artist – Decapitated

Album – Winds of Creation

Label – Wicked World Records

Released – April 17th, 2000

Type – Full-length

Additional

Notes

Winds of Creation is the debut full-length by Polish technical death metal band Decapitated, released on 17 April 2000 by Wicked World Records, an imprint of Earache Records. The lineup was Wojciech “Sauron” Wąsowicz on vocals, Wacław “Vogg” Kiełtyka on guitars, Marcin “Martin” Rygiel on bass and Witold “Vitek” Kiełtyka on drums.

Recorded and mixed in April 1999 at Selani Studio in Olsztyn, the album was produced by Piotr “Peter” Wiwczarek, engineered by Andy Bomba and mastered by Bartłomiej Kuźniak at Studio 333. Its sound combines tightly synchronized tremolo and palm-muted riffing, abrupt rhythmic transitions, rapid double-bass and blast-beat passages, dissonant chord movement and short groove-based sections. The arrangements are technically dense but retain clearly repeated riffs and defined song structures rather than relying on continuous instrumental display.

Tracklist

1. Winds of Creation – 04:13 >

in the beginning there was chaos in which the germ of the beginning and the rights they emerged from the tangled elements not brightness, not human being but dusk from which earth and day came into existence brightness- a daughter of darkness, not of spirit the black sky without its jewels stars gave the glory to its father with brilliance first parents Ereb-night, eternal night and their fruit, mankind, constrains the tribe the toys of elements,the children of dreams their gods are only illusions human rights crushed in the fingers of the might long centuries the sleep of mother earth the sleep so coloured real but fog woven and awakening will come from dusk

2. Blessed – 05:06 >

It was night when they came Evil and deceit were hidden under frocks On their necks-crosses in their hands-swords They came to kill on behalf of their God Dissimilarity is imprisoned In the darkness of the dungeons The old faith impaled on the stake Old holy groves were destroyed In the name of the cross Against other people Against the truth Against everyone Against yourself Tortures of liberated souls Which are decaying in the cells of the ecclesiastical strongholds The knights of good are distributing death Spreading violence in the name of God

3. The First Damned – 05:47 >

i in the abyss on the ruins of my dreams my burnt world god treads on the cinders envy and revenge two sisters i am their brother is it my fault that i am a human being? i won't forget how the wind was blowing in your gardens i was your knight i was a traitor i, created to die, to fall into the abyss my existence for you to have your flower your gardens grow on my soul the roots of your trees draw juice from my blood and yield fruit from my wounds your world comes from my pain my wandering your triumph my cry for you to existmy feelings, longing,and rebellion i suffer at the bottom unnecessary for you for the first time the question- why me? the fire won't flare up in my soul chained to my dreams forever unfulfilled ,unreal but i last and ill be a thorn in your eye forever

6. Human's Dust – 04:50 >

light- a flash in the eye of the truth darkness- a sea of eternal sin we, the shadows without destination following the spark, the whisper of the unknown the beast of time and truth of the universe the human thought trudging from the creation to catch a falsity that is no more the struggle of forces the struggle of the unknown one that defies the dust and ruin ofmankind the fire of the truth burning bright forever whose light in the world is but visible children of the stars that glare without death are burning the moment to expire forever tears and pain are signs of futile desires unknown and lost in the storms of force

7. Nine Steps – 05:11 >

when the warriors of the gloom came when the wolf of the night conquered the sun time of revenge and death set in the sons of fire shed the blood of gods nine steps towards victory of the night nine steps to the comeback of chaos nine steps to eternal darkness nine steps to death when the time of the northern rulers was over like a drop of blod in the sea of eternity thors blood sealed up their end the dusk of gods set in but their names will never be forgotten the memory of these centuries will never pass away thors blood still flows in the northern rivers thors hamer will shed the fresh blood again

8. Dance Macabre – 02:48

9. Mandatory Suicide (Slayer cover) – 03:32 >
