Yuriy P. - 12/Dec/2020  Act III is a work that had the same significance to rock music in the first half of the 90s as Megadeth's Rust in Peace, Metallica's Black Album or Sepultura's Arise. 1990-1991 is the finest hour for Death Angel and all thrash metal. It was on this album that the group finally developed its own style and, despite the genre orientation, the compositions from this work sound downright airy and light, with the same ease and confidence as the sting of a scorpion strikes its less agile victim.
The first two songs ("Seemingly Endless Time" and "Stop"), sweep like deadly arrows, and having managed to understand at least something, the mood of the album completely changes, on the almost three-minute acoustic "Veil оf Deception", it is a release of spirit, relief of an exhausted body from the agony of the poison of poisoned arrows.
The auditory organs barely melted after a short, but sparkling with some tragic tenderness of the solo and the final verse that followed. And then you feel a deafening blow ... This is someone hammering nails into the lid of your coffin, this someone is the tracks of "The Organization" and just jumping "Discontinued". A cold body, packed in a funeral box, also jumps up from powerful blows on wood. That's all, the funeral is over, the funeral is ahead. Ahead is the album's jewel itself, the ballad Room with a View, a song that takes place in the midst of tear-crushing numbers like Nothing Else Matters, Unforgiven, Soldier of Fortune, Stairway to Heaven and beyond. list. Very emotional, as well as the entire album, friends and loving relatives are crying on your wires to another world to this track. There is nothing more to add, it must be heard. Lyrics, solo, damn it, this song even has two solos! Everything is of such a level, as if it was invented by Jesus Christ and sent to people to earth to evoke in them emotions worthy of such loss as you. But the lyrics are over, the furious "Stagnant" directly says that now there will be total order and nothing will change in the damp earth that has become your new home. But what do you hear? Loud footsteps, no, not even a stomp above you, up there! It's a cryptic track - "EX-TC" would like to pay their respects to you. It seems that he even wants to do it personally - face to face. What's going on !? It looks like someone wants to disturb your peace, your peace. This is the name of the penultimate song "Disturbing the Peace". And now you are frantically pulled back into the white light. You are really disturbed and you are back on earth, you are awake. We woke up to the sound of a children's music box, standing on the nightstand at the head of your bed. Wrapping yourself in a blanket, look out of the window with relief, trying to fall asleep again, but disturbing thoughts with the aftermath of a recent nightmare jump in your head with all the power and speed of the ending composition "Falling Asleep".
