Oliver Magnum - 'Sister Cybele' (audio)
Time has slipped away
Your life is stolen
I see you wrestle with your dreams
Heavens stand open
And scatter their riches
My hands need but gather their wealth
Love's arms beckon
With their naked delight
And Eden's promise of ecstasy
Scars are remembered
Of old transgressions
As in some hateful dream
Sister Cybele the time that you spent
And halls of worthless women
You shalt desire
Respire the deadliest fume
At last to lie within
Your hidden virtues
The vilest worms crawl vampires gloom
Sister Cybele the time that you spent
Saving your secrets reserving your sense
There should be a science of discontent, hard times
and oppression to develop a psychic muscle
Sister of many remembered by few
Sister Cybele the time that you spent
Saving your secrets reserving your sense

Είναι μία από τις πλέον χαρακτηριστικές περιπτώσεις όπου το εξώφυλλο δεν συμβαδίζει με το μουσικό περιεχόμενο. Την πρώτη φορά που άκουσα το ομώνυμο ντεμπούτο των Oliver Magnum έπαθα μεγάλο σοκ γιατί το (κακό) εξώφυλλο δεν προϊδέαζε σε US Metal. Στο δια ταύτα θεωρώ το "Oliver Magnum" ως ένα από τα καλύτερα albums της δεκαετίας του ογδόντα στον χώρο του.
Η Αμερικάνικη μπάντα σχηματίσθηκε το μακρινό 1983 και διαλύθηκε 14 χρόνια αργότερα. Σε αυτό το χρονικό διάστημα κατάφερε να κυκλοφορήσει μόνο έναν "ολοκληρωμένο" δίσκο (συν πέντε demos). Κρίνοντας από το μουσικό του περιεχόμενο (και την ποιότητά του) η λέξη "κρίμα" σου έρχεται αυθόρμητα...
