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.
I remember the night
sitting in the dark
the battle was won
but lost my love
I left the light side
chosen the dark
sworn another solemn
at fullmoon I bark
Walking through the centuries
a pathless path
symphonic bloodlust
on this funeral march
My innerself
is drifting in a red sea
bizarre and sweet
… B.L.U.T.!!!
Awaiting the next vein
haemophilia
possessed by essential desire
damned and addicted to survive
this form of life
I'm searching for her
the love I lost
I'm searching for her
taking away the frost
But too many years are gone
my mind like ice
B.L.U.T.…
…you are my beauty
With my servants
I enter the air
diving down to the mortals
let them join the eternal form of life.
Stápin de obscuritate,
fantoma nucturna
Dragostea inseamná viatá vesnicá,
care o obtinem numai prin moarte
"Yes, but I will never die!!!"
B.L.U.T. - you are my beauty… till I reach eternal peace!
