After a live rehearsal demo (Killer Instinct - 2002), two underground compilations (Metalvox … 1 e Fast Food Thrash Metal both from 2003) and plenty of gigs in all the dirty holes, from Distrito Federal and neighborhoods, Violator got the opportunity to travel to Asuncion and play in the Paraguayan lands. Among that, the band was invited as an opening act for the thrash metal legend, Destruction, and American deathbangers, Malevolent Creation.
In the first months of 2004, the band got in touch with Kill Again Records label through Metal Bloods Editor, Antônio Rolldão. After this union, what was supposed to be a second demo turned into the EP, Violent Mosh. Four songs of intense old school thrash metal, no open for modernity.
The strong label work, together with a hunger for playing live, resulted in over 40 gigs in the next two years. Violator traveled through 10 estates and had the honor to meet thrashers from all over Brazil. The tour for ending the EP promo, Moshing With Violence Tour 2005, took the band across Brazil's north-east and allowed the band to play in the middle of the Amazon Rainforest, in the city of Portel, after facing 20 hours of boat rides.
One of these thrash gigs was recorded for the fist edition of Da Tribo Rock Magazine. It came to stores in all countries, with a DVD that captures Violator's performance in Campinas/SP. Violent Mosh was also the first release from the band outside of Brazil. In a K7 tape version, just like the old 80s bands, the EP was released in Bolivia by Grim Art Productions. This copy was limited edition, with only 666 copies available.
The EP was above all expectations, which lead to another release. This time as a split with one of the greatest Brazilian thrash bands, Bywar. From the union of Violent Mosh and Invincible War, first album from the São Paulo headthrashers, Violent War was born. This brought a Violator special bonus, a version for Taurus Massacre, a historical band from Brazil.
In late 2005, the band got the worst news of all time. Their guitar player, friend and brother, Juan Leda, left the band to continue his studies in Argentina, where his family lives. The farewell show was with Filandian thrashcore band Maniacs of Força Macabra, a gig to remember, with underground spirit and United Forces. Those were feelings that the band always believed.
With Juan out of the band, it did not deter the will of doing thrash, living thrash and breathing thrash. Violator started the beginning of 2006 as a power trio. After six months locked up at Orbis studio in Brasília, the band comes up with the first full-length, Chemical Assault. The album release, in october of the same year, is also the return of the group with two guitars. Márcio Cambito joins the band and brings even more speed to the picks and insanity to the live perfomance. violator are stronger than ever. The violation has just begun!
Atomic Nightmare
Violator Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Politicians rules with fear
Bombs terrorize human kind
Imminent annihilation
Brings our dreams to devastation
Victims of a Science of death
Burn,
And see, nature slaughtered
Blasts
The whole world destroyed
The Fate
Of all living things
Will be
Leaded to Extinction
Atomic Nightmare!!!
Lunatics with the power
To erase all inhabitants
Desolation preserve an empire
Widespread vast destruction
Can't escape the toxic corrosion
Killing radiation overdose
Atomic Nightmare!!!
Darkness in the burning sky
Th world comes to Demise
Human Race is Terminated
Welcome to Nuclear Holocaust
Poison spreads everywhere
Hopes are reduced to ashes
Toxic Waste infects our vein
Welcome to Nuclear Holocaust, now die!!!
Marching Over Blood!
Atomic Nightmare!!!
Chemical Attack
Atomic Nightmare!!!
Nuclear Disaster
Atomic Nightmare!!!
Radioactive Dust
Atomic Nightmare!!!
The lyrics to Atomic Nightmare by Violator express a dystopian society fueled by greed and ruled by politicians who create terror with bombs. The imminent destruction brought by science and the power of lunatics who hold the ability to erase all life on earth prescribe a catastrophic end to the human race. In the face of destruction, devastation, and desolation, there is no escape from the toxic corrosion or killing radiation overdose that leads to extinction, creating an Atomic Nightmare.
The lyrics portray a sickening world filled with nuclear holocaust, where the darkness in the sky burns, and the human race is terminated. The world reduced to ashes, and the hopes of survival fading, the toxic waste infects our veins, leaving us to die from the chemical attacks, radioactive dust, and desperate attempts to march over blood. The song is an evocative commentary about how humanity's power-hungry nature and a lack of foresight could lead to the apocalypse.
