Oceans of Time / Axel Rudi Pell

 

  독일 출신의 기타리스트 악셀 루디 펠은
바로크 메탈이 몰락한 현재까지도 꾸준하게 앨범을 발표하며
바로크 메탈의 전도를 해나가고 있는 옹골찬 뮤지션이다.
잉베이 맘스틴, 크리스 임펠리테리와 함께 초지일관 바로크의 선율 속에서 살고 있다.

그는 클래시컬 기타의 지존 Ritchie Blackmore의 영향을 절대적으로 받았다.

대위법 요소가 가득한 4연음 위주의 플레이, 음의 정확성을 요하는 스타카토 주법 등이 대표적이다.

딥 퍼플과 레인보우에서 구현했던 리치 블랙모어의 패턴 그대로다.

하지만 악셀 루디 펠은 모방을 거부했다. 그는 북구의 스피드 멜로딕 메탈을 가미시켜
매우 드라마틱하고 신비스런 사운드로 탈바꿈시켰다. 자신만의 스타일을 확립시킨 것이다.

 

 

Oceans of Time

 

 

  I see you turning, turning away
  And we're ready to leave, to the bridges of sin yeah
  Seven wonders, we are ready to fly
  Like an eagle, we're touching the sky

  We sailed across the ocean
  on the wind of the sea
  We're sailing on the oceans of time
  We're moving through the twilight
  Passed the black moon on our way
  We're sailing on the oceans of time

  As the sun fades to dark light we knew
  There was no way to return
  All the stars were passing by, we're riding through the sky
  on our endless journey through space
  Seven wonders, we are ready to fly
  Like an eagle, we are touching the sky

  We sailed across the ocean
  on the wind of the sea
  We're sailing on the oceans of time
  We're moving through the twilight
  Passed the black moon on our way
  We're sailing on the oceans of time
 The dust turned to stone,

 

 

and the black moon touched the dawn
  As we tried to get out, of this world of burning fear ooooooh

  Seven wonders, and we're ready to fly
  Like an eagle, we're touching the sky

  We sailed across the ocean
  on the wind of the sea
  We're sailing on the oceans of time
  We're moving through the twilight
  Passed the black moon on our way
  We're sailing on the oceans of time

  We're sailing on
  The oceans of time
  And never look back oh
  We're sailing on
  on time

  I see you turn
  And sailing away
  (We'll never go back there)
  We're sailing on
  The oceans of time

  We're sailing on
  The oceans of time
  Oceans of time
  Don't turn away
  Don't turn a-don't turn away

  Don't turn away
  The oceans of time

  We sailed across the ocean
  on the wind of the sea
  We're sailing on the oceans of time
  Oceans of time
  The oceans of time
  Don't turn away
