Friday, December 15: U.D.O., "Tongue Reaper"

Three years between albums would be perfectly acceptable for most acts, but the gap between Decadent and Steelfactory was an eternity by Udo Dirkschneider’s standards.  Sure, there were the usual requisite lineup changes, but that never stopped the Udo Dirkschneider Organization in the past, and even the intermittent gigs playing as “Dirkschneider” and only doing Accept songs shouldn’t have taken that much time away from the endlessly prolific U.D.O., and it wasn’t like Steelfactory was any different from most of their other records.  It turned out that the album was the end of an era, as longtime bassist, co-writer and musical director Fitty Wienhold departed shortly before its release, and it would actually be a bit before U.D.O. would come up with something as ferocious as opening track “Tongue Reaper”: the title and lyrics were complete nonsense as usual, but Dirkschneider bawled and screeched with added conviction over semi-robotic bashing and crunching guitars and drums.  It was of a piece with previous Wienhold-led numbers like “Steelhammer”, “Speeder” and “Decadent” and stayed firmly in U.D.O.’s lane, so as such it was effective on its own terms even as it hewed so closely to formula as to essentially come out of an assembly line (or rather, out of some kind of "steel factory").  “Tongue Reaper” was part of the push to make the group faster and nastier than the mid-paced hard rock that Stefan Kaufmann shepherded earlier in the ‘00s, and reminded that this was first and foremost a heavy metal act, even if not a very imaginative one outside of its frontman’s penchant for garbled and insane wordsmithing.

“Lütfen söyler misin bana, burada ne yana gidebilirim?” “Bu gitmek istediğin yere bağlı,” dedi Kedi. “Neresi olursa, önemi yok,” dedi Alice. “O zaman ne yana gitsen olur,” dedi Kedi. Alice, sözünü açıklamak amacıyla, “Yeter ki bir yere varayım,” diye ekledi. “Tabii varırsın,” dedi Kedi, “yürümekten yılmazsan, bir yere varırsın elbet.” Alice, bu doğruya karşı çıkılamayacağını sezdi, başka bir soru denedi: “Buralarda nasıl insanlar oturuyor?” Kedi sağ patisiyle bir yuvarlak çizerek, “Şurada,” dedi, “bir Şapkacı oturur, şurada da,” öbür patisini salladı, “bir Mart Tavşanı. Hangisine istersen git; ikisi de delidir.” “Ben deliler arasında ne yapayım?” dedi Alice. “Başka çaren yok ki,” dedi Kedi, “hepimiz deliyiz burada. Ben deliyim. Sen delisin.” “Benim deli olduğumu nereden çıkarıyorsun?” “Mutlaka delisindir,” dedi Kedi, “yoksa burada ne işin var?” _Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), Alice Harikalar Ülkesinde _Çeviren: Tomris Uyar _Görsel: Aurora Wienhold

Friday, December 20: U.D.O., “Mastercutor”

Udo Dirkschneider had been professionally mangling the English language for the better part of 30 years by the time U.D.O. put out Mastercutor in 2007, so nobody bothered to even ask what that was supposed to refer to.  The cover art and carnival intro pointed to some sort of serial killer theme, but all that really mattered was that Stefan Kaufmann crafted another faux-Accept banger for Dirkschneider to screech over, though apparently Dirkschneider had taken to wearing a Punisher t-shirt under his usual camouflage, so there was that. “Mastercutor” fell in line with most U.D.O. title tracks in that it was a bit faster and heavier than the rest of the accompanying album, had a catchy chorus and was fairly ridiculous.  Of course, all of this was not only expected, but generally embraced as we all knew Dirkschneider wasn’t really capable of anything else, and at least delivered this nonsense with conviction.  And in that regard, “Mastercutor” was another fun banger from a man who never wavered in his commitment to kicking ass.

Дыхание нежности...

Дыхание нежности в самых простых словах,

и праздничным стало обычное вроде утро,

от лёгкости в сердце так кружится голова,

шампанское в венах играет сейчас как будто...

Дыхание нежности сквозь переливы строк,

и время стоит, чтобы дать нас��адиться светом...

Ну, как, расскажи мне, мой ангел, вдохнуть ты смог

в морозный февраль, землянично-хмельное лето...

В дыхании нежности сердце смешалось вмиг,

и тысячи слов невпопад мотыльками бьются...

Я, словно, незримой преградой пленённый, мим,

пытаюсь поведать о чувствах поющих в пульсе...

Дыхание нежности и целый мир поёт,

пусть фразы знакомы, пускай в них слова всё те же,

я падаю в небо прозрачных, межстрочных нот,

и сердцем вбираю твою, мой желанный, нежность...
