Wow, minilo je kar nekaj časa odkar sem slišal kakšno novejšo izdajo te založbe. Govorim o švedski Bridge Records, o založbi, ki me za enkrat še z z nobeno svojo izdajo ni razočarala, kar je seveda bil več kot dober razlog za nabavo te zgoščenke. Roswell (pred leti sem bil ful nor na istoimensko nadaljevanko) prihajajo iz kje drugje kot iz švedske, kar seveda ni mogoče zgrešiti glede na to, da ima bend tisti tipečen švedski hardcore zvok kot so ga imeli njihovi rojaki par let nazaj, ko je bila švedska hardcore scene še na svojem vrhuncu. Na zgoščenki boste našli močan in energisko nabit hardcore v stilu Breach, Eclipse, itd. kjer prevladuje silovit midtempo ritem in bolj temačna, melanholična sorta rifov ter melodij. Včasih je narahlo čutiti kakšne bolj rock'n'roll vplive, večkrat in močneje pa njihovo metalsko nagnjenost. Glasba deluje precej skrivnostno in dostikrat atmosferično, kar mi je zelo vseč. Vokal je ves čas nabrušeno kričeč, v komadu ''Queen demise'' pa se oglasi tudi lepo žensko petje. Digipack izgleda uredu, čeprav bi lahko bil dosti boljši, ce bi bila slika malo bolj izostrena. Prikazuje skrivnostno pokrainsko sliko v rumno-zelenih barvah. Besedila so zapisana v fragmentalni obliki in so večinoma nejasna...bolj redokobesedna in nič kaj posebnega, čeprav znajo biti nekatera tudi zanimiva: ''Why god/ why not/ we await your blessing/ here comes/ gods will/ their will/ my blessing/ deliveraence of mercy/ deliverance of destruction/ barren grounds/ nature resets/ mission accomplished/ all prayers answered''. Zadovoljen? Itak! Za tale bend bom defenitivno imel odprte oči kar se tiče prihodnjih izdaj!

English Version:
Wow, it passed a few years since I heard any new release from this label. I'm talking about Swedish Bridge Records, a label that hasn't disappointed me with any of it's releases yet, which was a good reason why I picked this up. Of course, Roswell (I was crazy on same named serial few years ago) are from Sweden and there's no way you couldn't notice that since they have this typical swedish hardcore sound their fellows had few years ago, when the hardcore scene there was still huge. You will found herein heavy and energetically loaded hardcore similar to Breach, Eclipse, etc. where dominate forcefull midtempo rhythms and obscure/melancholic kind of riffs and melodies. Sometimes they thrown in some slightly rock'n'roll infuences but more frequently they just show their metal tendencies. Music works very mysterious and atmospheric which I really enjoy. Vocals are honed screaming except for the ''Queen demise'' where a nice female singing appears. Digi-pack looks fine, though it could be much better if the picture was just a little bit sharpen. It shows mystrious landscape in yellow-green colours. Lyrics are written fragmentally and mostly indistinct...nothing too exciting but some of them are quite interesting: ''Why god/ why not/ we await your blessing/ here comes/ gods will/ their will/ my blessing/ deliveraence of mercy/ deliverance of destruction/ barren grounds/ nature resets/ mission accomplished/ all prayers answered''. Satisfied? No doubt! I will definitelly keep an eye on this band future releases!
