...Of The Part Of Herd People are mangy rabble Love, compassion just disabled I am prowling among I've been there, oh so long! I'm inseparable of herd I'll be there until i'm dead I can not find the way out Contradictions rip my mind Choke with weakness through the night Opposite contrasts side by side Love is getting on with hate And i feel to change it now too late All that was best in me failed Foul replaced it retained Selfishness accumulates And i feel to stop it now too late Who'll stay there after years? Who'll behold my lonely tears?

Graves Are Not Full While the human flocks browse on the ground While the Nature allow us ruin her down While we didn’t reach yet final bound Graves are not full! Till an equal men that we are calling foes Live and breath entirely same air with us Till their children are gaily laughing in the sandbox Graves are not full! Let the flame of faith to devour all untrue and scatter their ashes away Murder all aliens and block our borders to exceed every unwanted way Graves are not full! Graves are not full! Till a spark of freedom still smoulder in hearts Till somebody have any slightest doubts Till we didn’t broke any small resistance Graves are not full! Dig more graves for those who wear their own colors Dig one more for those who have alien values Dig another one for heterodoxes Graves are not full! Let our holy hate to devour all untrue and scatter their ashes away Punish our enemies and block our borders to exceed every unwanted way Graves are not full! Graves are not full! Till we forced to live near these dirty sluts Till somebody pray to their ugly gods We must tirelessly spill their blood Graves are not full! Till these insects crawl ‘round our heels Till we hear a crunch under our wheels Till we didn’t feed enough our steel Graves are not full! It is necessary to pluck up their seed and scatter remains around Burn out their lairs, tear out their roots and raze their graves to the ground [twice] Graves are not full! Graves are not full! [twice]

Grey-blooded 08:49
Grey-blooded I’m the one of luckiest ones That always stay one step to triumph Scrambling up but the mountain grows I’m tired to death one foot a top off Looking at me, going by I’m unseen. Grey is my color I potter about, stewing in safe Keeping aloof to idle valour Don’t be so severe I’m ill yeah I’m seared I’m sick: I’m hard-hearted Really sick: I’m grey-blooded The world around me now became pale Usual so much up to obscurity I’m going through but looking inward Lumped on my needs and my security Distant mischief don’t inflict on me Faraway troubles, others’ adversities Are not touching me, I’m intact I'm similar to all, against diversity

Autumn Night 06:06
Autumn Night Autumn night… Darkness seems to be touchable Near like skin yet unachievable Not a trace of light can be registered Darkness looks like pitch-black resin Fear of darkness grows in progression Stick me around, no chance for evasion Cover me like leather strait-jacket Sealed up my eyes as scalding goudron Darkness Glue up my eyes Darkness I put in the stocks Darkness Bitter jelly Darkness Black gore is flowing away And all of this is pierced by silence Silence is flooding all without any violence Like mazut slowly pour into my ears I shall be deaf apparently till the end I am forced to submit to its order Now my skin going colder and colder Cords of silence stick tighter and tighter Fibres of silence weave in cocoon Silence Wedges in the ears Silence Stark paraffin Silence Cold adipose Silence White flood takes me away Suddenly first ray struggle through the dark Distant car honk reached my ark Morning freshness soak through chitin And now new horror penetrate me in Barely I began to get accustomed New day cut me as razor too rusted Screw up my eyes, double up my body What an agony… I wish to be dead New day Continuous headache New day Weight of past mistakes Morning Worse than any night Morning Reduce me to quiet despair

Zone Of Alienation Hour and twenty three a.m. Nineteen eighty six, night of April twenty sixth, Saturday Fifty seconds to disaster After minute all was happened Thousands [of people] was evacuated [Their] homes now is zone of alienation Cause of human imperfection Wind blows among invisible trees In red forest killed by nuclear debris He, who buried in this concrete grave Moan in suffer of hard gamma rays First crew on the reactor roof Doomed without necessary proof Firefighting among deadly reek All died in the next two weeks Sharp x-rays pierced ‘em through Eyes have been turned from brown to blue Gloves was taken off together with skin With indomitable vomit syndrome now begins Tarpaulin Overalls Gas-Mask Fire-hose Helmet Rubber Gloves Pounding Heart Sweat Kept Oath Radioactive Steam Acrid Smoke Tar Scalding Stream

about

HALTER - Band from Yaroslavl, Russia reviving the spirit of an old school Doom/Death Metal with Sludge and Stoner influences; band’s debut album “Omnipresence Of Rat Race” is an attempt to embody to music feeling of human revery in modern society, in faceless and ill-disposed crowd; yoke turned into a halter squeezed into laughing master’s fist. Contemplation of the scenes of cruelty of the world around stuck into age-old endless war, terrorism, total corruption and retrogression that leads to epicene stifling fury gradually transforming into a permanent extramental crack-up consequently causing more and more inwardness, vision tunneling, life interest loss, alcohol abuse and mental disorder… Slow perception meaninglessness of own mad somersault in a Rat Race launched by someone malevolent…
