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

Dancing to Life
Alchemist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In all its fragile beauty surrounds me.
LIFE.
It's energy and vigor consume me.
LIFE.
My zest for life and living remain.
LIFE.
The chi flows thick and forceful through my veins.
The wisdom of her anatomy.
Denies the first to enter to chance to create.
Survivors travel the unknown.
Knowledge of the location of their goal.
Each an individual.
Yet all together one.

The first stanza expresses how life's beauty envelops the singer, while also acknowledging its energy and vivacity. The second stanza paints a picture of the singer's determination to live life to the fullest, with the chi, or life force, flowing powerfully through their veins.
In the final stanza, the lyrics take on a more philosophical tone, discussing the uniqueness of each individual's journey through life.

The survivors, or those who make it to be born, "travel the unknown" of life, armed with the knowledge that their ultimate goal is to live a fulfilling life. Although everyone's journey is different, they are all connected as one.
