지금 가장 뜨거운 한국과 일본의 주목받는 하드코어 신성이 만났다. NOEAZY와 GATES OF HOPELESS의 스플릿 앨범 [NOEAZY VS GATES OF HOPELESS]
NEW SKOOL HARDCORE의 A부터Z까지가 모두 담겨있는 스플릿 앨범 [NOEAZY VS GATES OF HOPELESS] 기실, HARDCORE라는 카테고리 안에서 NOEAZY와 GATES OF HOPELESS의 방향성은 명확히 다르다. 뉴스쿨 하드코어의 시발점 중의 하나인 MORNING AGAIN과 맞닿아 있는 GATES OF HOPELESS는 뉴스쿨 초기의 느낌을 강하게 풍기는 밴드이다. 이를 기반으로 T.J.MAXX/B.D.UNION등으로부터 전해내려온 간사이 특유의 MOSHABLE한 사운드가 결합되어, 비로소 단단하고 선이 굵은 이들의 음악스타일이 완성된다. 반면 노이지는 KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, AS I LAY DYING, SHADOWS FALL, LAMB OF GOD등으로 대표하는 후기의 색채가 짙다. 보다 화려하고 세련된 악곡이 특징인 이들은 현재 가장 주목받는 밴드들 중 하나인 WINDS OF PLAGUE 류의 미장센 또한 본작에 녹여내어 자신만의 스타일로 소화하였다. [THE GRAND EAGER]나 [BLACK BLOSSOM]와 같은 곡들이 그러한 발전의 결과물로 많은 이들의 호평을 받을거라 확신한다. 그러나 닮은 듯 다른 두 밴드의 스플릿 앨범은 오히려 서로의 음악을 돋보이게 하는 묘한 케미스트리를 발산하며 대중들에게 공개준비를 마쳤다. 새로운 시작점을 함께하게 된 한국과 일본의 젊은 두 밴드는 앞으로 많은 행보를 함께 할 계획이다. 이미 올해 4월 일본의 치바에서 첫번째 합동공연을 가졌으며,. 9월에는 한국에서의 두번째 조우가 기획 중이며, 이후 전일본 투어를 준비 중 이다. .... ....
I found myself floating in the sea of experience, vacantly seeing the walls of billows to discovery. Wetted and bludgeoned, feeling so hopeless,I closed my eyes to evade the mystery.
Go.
Fear suspended in my dreams. I wrestled with the emptiness,blindfolded by the uniform ghosts with severed tongues.
Endless thirstfor wisdom to understand, Timeless hungerfor talent to create my world.
I am standing in the silence,striving to break these seamless walls around me. I'll destroy the walls and dive into the mystery,and I'll die at my post.
Endless thirstfor wisdom to understand, Timeless hungerfor talent to create my world. What's avail is being stagnant? I'll escape from my past and move forward.
I see through the cracksthe light and the darknessswallow all the dregs inside,pulling me out to the mystery.
Break the walls,Strike it hard.Go.
I am standing in the silence,watching the walls fall apart in front of me. The endless thirst and the timeless hungerwill never cease until I die at my post.
Rising above through pain, we'll never be satisfied. The way is never ending quest, thorough inquisition. I've risen from the ignorance with no sense of fear. I will be invincible to all opposition. Not in my way is any failure.
This floor of blood beneath my skin, where my heart was plunged in, with a sword of grand eager, crawls back into my hand deeper, deeper and deeper into my nerve.
My soul is burning for desire of knowing all that matters, the vast universe which never expires, expanding from black matters. I hang my hand onto the skyline. My feet's down to the deepest abyss. I open my ears to catch the ancient signs. I close my eyes to see the blackest nothingness.
We shall never feel. We shall never think. We shall never live. We shall never die.
This floor of blood beneath my skin, where my heart was plunged in, with a sword of grand eager, crawls back into my hand deeper.
Aerial empty truthlies in secrets unrevealed, desperately paralyzed and buried in catastrophe. I will see.
This is where we close the eyes to see the infinite blackness. It is the time we expose the spirit of grand eager to the sky.
for what purpose do i live now and who do i ask tomorrow for? my thoughts stopped and feelings overflowed my heart beating begins to move my mind raises voice all i see from here gives me power and it proves my existence 交わした誓い 想いの先へ 止まらぬ時間と 失う希望 牲と言う名の代償を 再び明日への光とえて あなたは自由を手にする 全ては手の中に to win your freedom justice now in the take your hands fuck'n mosh to kill everybady to dai fuck'n mosh everybady move fuck'n mosh to kill
the glorious wrecks spread under my feet even if i scoop up those, they don't leave my hand i can't see the future for fear of losing i noticed the light after i lose it if you don't see reality you turned away, there's no left over i n the future there's no left tracks or even tracks but i will rise up what is waiting for you go ahead,don't look back there's a hope right by my side we can't be over yet
