Lyrics:

Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna in die illa tremenda
Quendo coeli movendi sunt et terra
dumb veneris judicare saeculum per ignem
(Deliver me, Lord from the eternal death
On that dreadful day when heavens and earth
Shall move, when you come to judge the world through fire)

Tremens factus sum ego, et timeo
dumb discussio venerit at que ventura ira
(I am made to tremble and to fear
At the destruction that shall come
And also at your coming wrath
When heavens and earth shall move)

Dies illa, dies irae, calamitatis et miseriae
Dies magna et amara valde
dumb veneris judicare saeculum per ignem
(That day, day of wrath, calamity and misery
Great and exceedingly bitter day
When you come to judge the world through fire)

Requiem aeternam dona eis domine
Et lux perpetua luceat eis
(Rest eternal, grant them, Lord
And may perpetual light shine on them)

Believer is a thrash metal band but this song is different from their usual material because the vocals are by soprano Julianne Laird Hoge. My brother said this song sounds a lot like Nightwish. Released in the same year as "Rust in Peace" by Megadeth makes 1990 one of the best years in metal.

I love the vocals and the music is amazing and very interesting.

54 points -> 5+ stars

The beggining is very interesting, and I thought it could evolve into that to a normal metal song sung, but instead of that it stays the same all the time and doesn't develop. Only in the halfway other instruments come in, but way too late. And it actually doesn't help much because there are no solo instruments. It would be much better with a singer or a solo instrument playing a melody.

3½ stars.
