1) Death metal band from Sweden:
PART 1
ABNORM is a punkband from Borås, Sweden who was formed in the winter of 1999, when Marko Niska (guitar, also in RAJOITUS) met Christian Bergman (drums, ex-SPRECKTA PLIT-TARMAR). But Jimmy Blom (vocals, ex-HUMAN DISASTER etc.) and Marko had been talking about playing together since 1994/95 sometime, so it was pretty obvious for Marko to ask Jimmy if he wanted to sing in the band. We also found ourselves a bassist (can't remember his name), but he wasen't good enough so we continued without bass.
The group succeeded to put together about 40 songs until the spring of 2000, when things for some unknown reason ran out in the sand.
Through the years Marko and Jimmy have been talking about recording the songs, but it never became anything. ABNORM never really split up though, well it was never something we agreed on anyway, that the band would be no more....

PART 2
In the fall of 2005 Marko and Jimmy decided to re-start the band again, but Christian wasen't intrested anymore, so we asked his younger brother Fredrik instead. After a couple of rehearsals we found a bassist, but he was just with us 2 times before he suddenly diden't had time or whatever his reason might be?
In March 2006 ABNORM finally recorded 19 own tracks and a cover of "Rat-Race" by MENTAL ABUSE, and we decided to release our first recording by ourselves, which means that you can download all songs + the cover all for free from our web site - www.abnorm.se
In May 2006 we recorded 10 more tracks. The idea was that some record label would get intrested and release it as an EP or something, but only 2 labels replied, and none of them had time to release anything with us. So after a couple of months we decided to put up these songs on our web site too, just as we did with our first release. "Ert Jävla System Kan Fan Brinna I Helvetet Era Satans As", as it was entitled, was released in the end of August 2006.

PART 3
During the summer of 2006 we finally found a new bassist, Andrej Hartikainen (also in WOLFVERINE), and entered the studio once again in the end of October 2006 to record 8 new songs and re-record 11 old songs. This stuff ended up on a split 7" with RAJOITUS and a international compilation CD-R, named O-NEG Compilation.
On August 15, 2007 (War Memorial Day of Japan) a 38-track collection CD-R was released in Japan. That collection was also supposed to be released on cassette in Indonesia, but we really don't know if it ever was released, since we haven't heared anything or got any copies.
In November 2007 the band entered the studio again, and the result became a 14-track release entitled "Enough!". As no record label showed any intrest in releasing it, we released it ourselves as a free download from our site in January 2008. It was also released on CD-R in Japan a couple of months later by Reset Not Equal Zero.

PART 4
In April 2008 Andrej was kicked due to lack of intrest. The rest of the band recorded 15 tracks (13 own and 2 covers) in late April/early May. 11 tracks end up on a 3-way split with RAJOITUS and ZUDAS KRUST, and 4 songs end up on some split/compilation from Russia. And in August we found a new bassist, Robban from THE VULTURES.

PART 5
After that we did a couple of gigs, and was supposed to have a 7" EP released on Noise & Distortion Records, but the recording wasen't good enough. Unfortunately Marko and Blom, the only original members left, got tired of the band and decided to go separate ways. The last gig took place at Kulturföreningen Tåget in Borås, Sweden on November 27.

Good Riddance
Abnorm Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

How did we let it get this far
Are we to blame for this
Are we unable to see ourselves
Sink into nothingness

We knew this was their intention
Drive us to the end
I guess it's time we all jump ship

Before the storms descend

There was a fire burning in us
'Till they put us out
We burn stronger every day
Without a doubt
So good riddance to each one
We'll be happy now they're gone
And the fire that they know will burn on

How did we let it get this far
Are we afraid to live
Are we unable to see ourselves
Forget but can't forgive

We knew this was their intention
Drive us to the end
I guess it's time we all jump ship
Before the storms descend

There was a fire burning in us
'Till they put us out
We burn stronger every day
Without a doubt
So good riddance to each one
We'll be happy now they're gone
And the fire that they know will burn on

And the fire that they know will burn on
And the fire that they know will burn on
And the fire that they know will burn on
And the fire that they know will burn on

There was a fire burning in us
'Till they put us out
We burn stronger every day
Without a doubt
So good riddance to each one
We'll be happy now they're gone
And the fire that they know will burn on

There was a fire burning in us
'Till they put us out
We burn stronger every day
Without a doubt
So good riddance to each one

We'll be happy now they're gone
And the fire that they know will burn on

Overall Meaning

In "Good Riddance," Abnorm reflects on how a situation has gone so far out of control and questions whether we are responsible for it. The singer wonders whether we lack the ability to see ourselves and if we cannot reconcile with our own flaws, leading us to ultimately sink into nothingness. He then acknowledges that those who have caused this situation to worsen have now left, and the singer and his peers will be happier without them around. The final phrase in the song, "the fire that they know will burn on," is a warning to those who left behind that the spirit and passion of those who remain will not falter.

The overall message of the song deals with the idea of personal responsibility and the consequences of our actions. The singer recognizes that the situation they found themselves in did not happen overnight and questions whether they could have prevented it or not. However, the focus of the song is on choosing to move forward and not allowing the events of the past to dictate their present.

One interpretation of "Good Riddance" is that it is a political commentary. The singer could be a representative of the people, expressing disappointment towards the government or authorities who have continuously ignored their needs and rights. The song could be a call to action for people to unite and take control of their lives, instead of relying on the same systems that have failed them.
