来自于一般金属乐迷较不熟悉之国度─奥地利的Estatic Fear,是一支风格特别的folk gothic/doom metal乐团,由于所属的CCP Records仅是奥地利本地的独立厂牌,也因此这样的乐团在国际舞台上的能见度并不高,事实上有相当多的优秀乐团,常因为并不隶属于国际性厂牌,而被乐迷们所错过,实在是很可惜,有时这些小团的表现都不逊于主流乐团!

Estatic Fear成军于1994年,全团除了灵魂人物Matthias Kogler外,其它3名成员皆来自另一CCP旗下的奥地利black metal乐团Astaroth。96年乐团发表了首张的专辑,并在奥地利当地获得不错的回响。99年Estatic Fear发表了第二张作品,然而此时的Estatic Fear团员全部跑光,仅剩下Matthias Kogler一个人,也因此整张专辑的创作完全出自于Kogler一人之手!至于专辑的录音工作则找来多位枪手代打完成。

偶然之间上手这张专辑
,让我觉得捡到了宝,也因此要来为大家推推这团。目前为止印象中我手头上的奥地利乐团也只有Edenbridge,我并不太了解奥地利大多出产何种类型的金属乐团,不过单从Edenbridge和Estatic Fear所带给我的感觉,的确已经能够感受到奥地利另一番不同风味的美学概念。

除了gothic doom metal缓慢、优美、哀伤的基本样式外,强烈的中古世纪民族风味、悠扬气氛,搭配以优美女音的美声表现,交织黑死腔对唱,才是其音乐如此动人的特点!这样的古典民谣金属风格,最容易令人联想到的乐团就是Haggard了!两团同样都带有浓厚的中古世纪气息,不过不同于Haggard大量的管弦乐器表现,Estatic Fear则是以突出的大提琴、长笛、鲁特琴(lute,古典吉他的前身)及钢琴的柔情表现为主,特别是大提琴和长笛相当重份量的演出,也使其地方性的民族情怀更浓,而鲁特琴的运用对于金属乐而言也几乎是前所未见吧!

Estatic Fear在这张专辑的编曲手法也明显不同于一般时下的gothic乐团,其概念反倒是较接近于古典交响乐或前卫摇滚金属乐,如整张专辑曲式、主题连贯一致的手法在气氛金属中可说十分罕见,专辑的曲目除了首曲名为"Intro"外,其余则是直接命名为"Chapter I"至"Chapter IX",而除了曲式连贯之外,编曲上亦采取了类似古典乐多乐章式的「变奏」手法,不但主旋律在多首曲子中反复出现,并且还有主旋律的变奏,再加上以多种乐器交替弹奏主旋律,整张专辑一气呵成,彷若是一出音乐剧般,相当地有意思!

这张专辑最引人入盛之处,就在于其旋律实在是太优美太迷人了!我甚至可以连续听这张听好几遍都不会感到厌倦!当然,这也必须归功于器乐上的细腻编排及演奏,大提琴哀愁寂寥的弦音,伴随钢琴轻盈柔美的音符,长笛的吹奏则总将情绪带上高点,而优美吉他solo也会在适当时机出现,双大鼓的运用亦没有缺席,不过慢速的双大重击仅是用以增强压迫气势,而不带任何的攻击性,明亮优美的钢琴、女声,和低沈的大提琴、悲愤的黑死腔形成强烈对比,浓郁的情感与引人遐思的气氛,完全牵引着听者的心,令人深深沈醉其中!

,以空寂的lute弹奏做为简短序曲,揭开这段长近50分钟的中古世纪时光之旅。

承接而来的继续由空心吉他导入,大提琴及美声女音陆续登场,电吉他弹奏着小调般的旋律,脑海中不禁浮现出中古欧洲的小镇风光,黑死腔的出现为曲式袭来一股强烈的凄厉感,此时背后衬的是大提琴和键盘的竖琴音色,还有慢速双大鼓。

由丝丝雨声和雷声伴随长笛吹奏带入,前半段由柔美的钢琴独奏,雨声则彷若与钢琴对话,一阵过渡之后,忽地激昂的黑腔和死腔双声vocal吼出,瞬时将听者的思绪由先前的沈静中抽离,换来的是doom的愁苦与无奈,落差真是大。

由大提琴和空心吉他对奏,引领女音的独唱,一段钢琴solo后,再带出凄凉的吉他旋律与长笛如泣如诉的悲情音符,为接下来两首曲子的高潮做了预告!

无疑是专辑中最精华的曲子,长达10分钟的曲长亦是gothic/doom中少见的长篇作品!曼妙的钢琴旋律、大提琴、长笛、女音、黑腔、死腔、悲情吉他,所有的元素全都陆续出笼!特别是中后段由黑腔搭配钢琴、吉他、双大鼓,那种悲愁纠结的心情,令人感同身受!最后以女音、大提琴、钢琴、键盘,将人的心情再次拉回平静。

而紧接着的同样极精彩,此曲其实上是和连在一起的,这首继续延续了前曲的激昂情绪,并将主旋律及气氛再次带上更高潮!由钢琴、键盘到吉他再到长笛,轮番地奏出动人的主旋律与solo,实在太美了!

动人的旋律之后,再次回到doom 味浓厚的

由空心吉他搭配bass独奏演出,令人的思绪完全地沈淀下来。

轻盈的长笛吹奏,伴随键盘的教堂管风琴音色弹奏,立即又让气氛明朗起来,漂亮的鼓击加上双大鼓,及黑死腔嘶吼,是专辑中难得可以甩头的一段!

6分多钟的则是专辑漂亮的完结曲,前半段明亮而又带点淡淡忧伤的钢琴弹奏,搭配着大提琴,就有着即将曲终人散的别离感,接续而来的键盘、电吉他、lute、黑死腔和女音,将气势一阵拉高之后,终于归于平淡。

听多了强劲猛烈的Progressive/Speed Metal之后,再听到这样淡雅而又制作用心的作品,反倒格外地令人感动!Estatic Fear这样有sense的乐团,绝对值得乐迷给予高度的喝彩和支持!



Chapter I
  The feeble leafs decline,
  Enshrined in downing deep
  The mourn abandoned plains,
  Laid down in sombre sleep
  Misty shades engulf the sky
  Like past, worn memories
  The bird's song fills the whispering breeze
  With autumns melody
  
  The lunar pale grim shape
  At evening's sight renews
  It's silented wail relieves
  Repressed thoughts anew
  I hear the lonesome choir
  Of fortunes past my way
  Disdained in fiery weeps
  Throughout my every day
  These skies I hail and treasure thee,
  Most pleasant misery
  Not pittes thorn I shelter thine
  Mysterious harmony
  
  Draw on most pleasant night
  Shade my lorn exposed sight
  For my grief's when shadows told
  Shall be eased in mist enfold
  Why should the foolish's hope
  Thy unborn passioned cry
  Exhaust unheard
  Beneath this pleasent sky?
  For if the dusking day declined
  Could delight be far behind?


Chapter II
  Sengi amoris
  A mere passions fraud disgraced and to disgrace,
  In pacis quentis,
  With bewitched charm seduced my every days
  
  Begone my burdened past, wont's these treasured
  Dreams be freed from your bounds at last?
  Tvemor inogeng
  Makes the truth dilute the mirrage last
  Osculum pudens
  Makes my shattered present caught
  My buried past lured into my angers bed
  I pured my raging lust
  And touched these fairy eyes instead

Chapter III
  Eil mein gramgebeugt Klagelied
  Klim empor entiflieh der Brust die dich gebo ren.
  Am Cage wohlverwahrt
  Dem Craumer offenbart
  Ward deinem Klang,
  des Herzens Kenntis gtets verwehrt
  Magst dereingst kugh gereift
  Dem Geist der leis begreift
  Mit holdem Drang der Seele Wagh entziegn

Chapter IV
  The leafs and I entangled dance a harmonie
  I dare not stain with vain delight
  And thus embraced we roam the passing eve like a
  pillgrim who craves a shelters guiding light
  I question thee, beloved night to calm my joy
  so that I not like the weary leaves be strewed
  For I submitt to thy solitary grace (as) even springs
  life is by winters gaze subdued
  
  Lost in a dream I beheld a maiden dance
  And when she sat down by a sliver stream
  Plunging her feet in the shallow waves

Chapter V
  Many a weary night endured
  Since the utter charm of joy has pured
  My unquiet dreams, my misery
  How sweat if I could share with thee
  Unable to endure it's smile
  Which kindly eased my sombre veil
  I frightened turned my burdened head
  And hid in slumbers shade instead
  
  But lifted from my mournful rest
  Was I by thee nocturnal guest
  When though did vow to suffocate
  My tranquil dreams in thrones bed
  You spoke to me with loathed glow
  And thus have though not kept thy vow
  For when thy shadow sprang on me
  I closed my eyes in ecstasy

Chapter VI
  Unveil yours eyes, see the special moon gone
  Leaving not a single ray of joy to rest upon
  Feast on those that crave thy kiss with a ghastly wail
  Behold them cry as their faces innocence grows pale
  Tempt them into approaching your obscure neglect
  Until on your detesting laugh their hopes get wrecked
  Praise this rage and the only eyes will see
  Thy love abandoned mirrors image, thy only company

Chapter VII
  As the stars like ludicrous fauns,
  Join the grim reapers dionystic glance
  We step forward together with the pale withered spring
  And join the pipings of their sombre dance

Chapter VIII

Chapter IX
  The Dawn arose, the slumbers shadows have passed
  The autumnal grace which so kindly has cast
  It's sombre yet gracious delight on my grief
  Enshrouded and lulled by the winters far deeper relief
  
  As weary my days will grow from leisure apart
  I shall wait for your powers renewed
  I pray to whatever there be
  "Let be my heard by your tenderness again imbued."
  
  Cura a die renovato cedit
  Dolor et laetitia conjungtus est
  
  Delightful shade was all that I dared hope for
  Thy silent charm alone remains to adore.
