The Snark was formed in late 1996 in Perm-city, by three school friends, as a punk-rock band. At period since 1996-1999 in band played many musicians of the different level and 1998 was a recorded demo under name "For Mirror Dream", sustained in post-punk key. By spring of 1999 we changed the guitar and keys player. In 2000 recording demo from 3 songs in doom/black atmosphere with funereal keys, clear feminine and black male vocals. On length of this time quintet actively acts in Perm and in other cities. In the period since November 2001 till March 2002 we sat in R-Line studio and were recording our first album "…for Demon". From this moment group is renamed on "Act Of God". And in April in the club "Hunter" there was a presentation of an album "…for Demon". The stylistics were changed. Music becomes more rigid and more aggressive. During 1999-2003 there were a lot concerts with such group as "Warhead", "Alkonost", "Atoll Nerat", "Grenouer", "Sinful", "Tintagel", "Miscreant" and many others. In December of 2002 there comes time to part with Dennis "Dan" Chudinov - bass (one of the founders) and have found bass - Alexander Andreev (Groth, Inside Decay, Fermented Corps) and now all vocal perform by Victoria.
Atheism for Dead
Act of God Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ready to make great flight
Hell is in the roaring abyss
Somewhere behind it
There's a new world
Soon it will belong only to you
Falling to rise is to be written
Blessed in blasphemy
Bible will burn in the hands of traitors
Behind the limit of self-preservation
Hear revelations accept
The creator or die
But for someone it's too late
Regretting that the man was born
Look at the dead man at the world extinct
Conscious essence of your savior
Vomit on atheism
At the gates of being
Of eternal suffering
The lyrics to Act of God's song "Atheism for Dead" are quite cryptic and thought-provoking. The song seems to be addressing a religious figure, possibly God or Jesus, who stands at the "ancient gates" ready to take flight into a new world that will soon belong only to him. The reference to "hell in the roaring abyss" underscores the idea that the world we live in is full of pain and suffering, but there is hope for a new world beyond it. The line "falling to rise is to be written" suggests that living through struggles and hardships is an essential part of the human experience, and by enduring these challenges, one can discover a greater truth.
The song speaks of blasphemy and the burning of the Bible in the hands of traitors, which is a fairly radical statement. This could simply be a comment on the hypocrisy of certain religious adherents who espouse one set of beliefs but do not live them out in their daily lives. The song concludes with a harsh condemnation of atheism and a reference to eternal suffering at the gates of being. The final line, "conscious essence of your savior / vomit on atheism," is a powerful denouncement of those who reject religious belief.
Overall, the lyrics to "Atheism for Dead" are highly metaphorical and open to interpretation. They seem to be exploring themes of faith, suffering, and the struggle to find meaning in a chaotic world.

hahaha cant believe there's so much argue just for a song, well this band tried to do things different, music is not bad, and vocals well u feel like this kind of vocalist don't belong to a death metal album,but this is what about the album is, innovation? trying to scape from monotony a bit

Yeah I wish they never took out the female operatic style out of their music! But this his raw symphonic and chaotic all at once!
ChaoticEvilWinds666
Can you imagine Ariana Grande using her pop vocal style to this music or maybe Britney Spears! That would be artistic suicide!

@Tupac1524 but that's impossible considering that emotive hardcore (emo) is a genre of music, not something that can cut itself.
