1)Alchemist is a progressive death metal band from Canberra, Australia. The band was formed in 1987 by Adam Agius (lead vocals/guitar), eventually teaming up with the present line up of Roy Torkington (guitar), Rodney Holder (drums/percussion) and John Bray (bass) which has been together since 1992. Since 2003, Alchemist has also featured a fifth member in Nick Wall, who provides samples for live shows.
The band announced in June 2005 that they were releasing a compilation album entitled Embryonics; this was released in late October. It covers material released between 1993 to 1998, including material from the first three albums, the 1998 EP release and demo material. Bonus tracks include two songs recorded live on the radio in 1996. The band is also working on a DVD, which will be released in 2006.
The band is also responsible for organizing Australia's largest heavy metal music festival Metal For The Brain held every year in Canberra . They are the only band to have played at every one held since its inception in 1991. 2006 marked the final Metal For The Brain event.
2) Alchemist is also Nikolai Krinitski a Russian born musician. Has dedicated himself to music for the last seventeen years. His main education involved cello and later piano at the Moscow Conservatoire. Also in RCM (Royal College of Music) composition and orchestration and arrangement. In early 2003 Nikolai became interested in synthesis and music production. Three years and 160 tracks later he has found his 'home straight', concentrating mostly on IDM and Breakbeat.
Being of a 'classical' background Nikolai puts big emphasis on the melodic line and structure of the piece. Rhythm is a big feature in every track, being erratic, broken and with the use of unconventional drum-programming and sound quality. That creates very special auras all the way throughout the piece.
Nikolai has 3 projects; one under his own moniker Nikolai Krinitski, secondly, as Aphrodite and lastly as Alchemist (his latest incarnation). Nikolai has been signed to WLM since 2006
3) Formed in 2008. Released "Flesh to be Broken" EP in 2012.

Alchemist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
in a mutual - eclipse. The sun just a bright star low in the sky.
Rock and ice, the dark world under -
Charon, where the light succumbs to dark.
Pluto god of the lower meridian. The apparent paths of the sun.
Two nuclei collide and from into a new phase, exploring retina is
locked into zenith gaze.
Far from a common orbit -
I see sights that no man knows!
The picture of our universe, spread infinitely over space, observe
the riddle that
lies beyond, in the dark abysses of space. These lyrics speak of a journey through space, to a planet far from our own, Pluto. The language used is very descriptive and paints a vivid picture of the surroundings. The first verse explains the unique orbit of Pluto, moving in a way that causes it to eclipse with its moon, Charon. The sun can be seen, but it’s only a small star low in the sky since Pluto is so far away. The environment is made up of rock and ice, and darkness prevails.
The second verse moves on to describe the collision of two nuclei and the formation of a new phase. The singer, on this unique journey, has a mind that’s inquisitive and curious and, as a result, is able to take in sights that normal people aren’t accustomed to. The lyrics, “Far from a common orbit,” indicate that this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and one that is not easily replicated. The final line speaks to the vastness of the universe and the mystery that lies beyond its reach.
Overall, the lyrics explore the beauty, uniqueness, and mystery of our universe. They encourage the listener to pause and reflect on just how much there is to see and explore out there.
