Atrocity is a German death Metal band formed in Ludwigsburg.
First started in 1985 as Instigators and playing grindcore, Atrocity arose as a death metal band with their debut EP, Blue Blood, in 1989, followed soon by Hallucinations, a concept album about drug use. Their second album, Todessehnsucht ("longing for death"), ventured into death metal, with a cover of "Arch Angel" by the band Death. Their musical scope broadened over the years, incorporating medieval and horror influences on their 1994 Dracula-based concept album Atrocity's Blut, (styled after the successful film Bram Stoker's Dracula). Atrocity's Blut was followed by Calling The Rain, an MCD with female vocals by guest singer Yasmin Krull and acoustic themes.
The 1996 release Willenskraft introduced industrial elements, with the special bonus CD of the album's special edition (Kraft und Wille) including electronic remixes of the songs. The later releases were less and less metallic; Werk 80 featured versions of 1980s disco hits and the band had no apparent direction for the following few years. Unusual MCD-releases and experimental songs like Lili Marlene-covers (featured on Gemini) estranged many of their original metal fans.
The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History is a 1978 book by Michael H. Hart, reprinted in 1992 with revisions. It is a ranking of the 100 people who, according to Hart, most influenced human history.
The first person on Hart's list is the Prophet of Islam Muhammad. Hart asserted that Muhammad was "supremely successful" in both the religious and secular realms. He also believed that Muhammad's role in the development of Islam was far more influential than Jesus' collaboration in the development of Christianity. He attributes the development of Christianity to St. Paul, who played a pivotal role in its dissemination."
The 1992 revisions included the demotion of figures associated with Communism, such as Vladimir Lenin and Mao Zedong, and the introduction of Mikhail Gorbachev. Hart took sides in the Shakespearean authorship issue and substituted Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford for William Shakespeare. Hart also substituted Niels Bohr and Henri Becquerel with Ernest Rutherford, thus correcting an error in the first edition. Henry Ford was also promoted from the "Honorary Mentions" list, replacing Pablo Picasso. Finally, some of the rankings were re-ordered, although no one listed in the top ten changed position.
I'm sorry
I'm ugly
all that i am
and i can never live up
I'm failing
I'm angry
afraid of the ways
they pretend to be us
Its fucked up
I'm different
words remain
my only escape
art saves
all of me
evolving
and now you're walking away!!!
I'm not afraid
and now you're walking away
I'm not ashamed
and now you're walking away!!
(voodoo spell)
[II.]
my mistake
was trusting you
blood pigs
with creating my fate
with poetry
and suffering
i cannibalized
every ounce of my pain
I'm still afraid
everyday
these greedy worms
- they devour my plagues
I'm not your slave
I'm conquering
you see me rise
& now you're walking away!!!
I'm not ashamed!
and now you're walking away!
I'm not afraid!
and now you're walking away!!
[bridge & tunnel]
you can't hurt me anymore
you can't hurt me anymore
fed from the wound from
which we were bled
vomiting filth in
our soft cave heads
chewing on tissue,
tendon and fat
destroying the things
they do not understand!
tyrant.
betrayer.
parasite.
traitor!!
....and still you feed them
....and still you need them
I'm sorry
I'm ugly
dangerous
can't describe it enough
I'm failing
I'm angry
i use my fear
to empower my hate
I'm fucked up
I'm different
wwords remain
my only escape
art saves
all of me
evolving
and now you're walking away!!!
I'm not ashamed
and now you're walking away
I'm not afraid
and now you're walking away!
and now you're walking away!
and now you're walking away
and now you're walking away
(voodoo spell)
my mistake!
was trusting you!
blood pigs -
with creating my fate!
with poetry
and suffering
i cannibalized....
every ounce of my pain
I'm still afraid everyday
you still suckle my plagues
I'm not your fucking slave
so why you walking away?
blood pig!
