1)Alchemist is a progressive death metal band from Canberra, Australia.

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.

His main education involved cello and later piano at the Moscow Conservatoire. Also in RCM (Royal College of Music) composition and orchestration and arrangement.

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

Escape From The Black Hole
Alchemist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mass compressed, and escape.
Not knowing what the
threat has instore,
Don't ignore the warnings they gave.
It will try to tear us apart.
But in unity we are saved.
Ignorant and blind,
No sense within it's mind,
It's seeking ways to justify.
And there's no cause to find.
It let's us know it's plans.
It's programmed to destroy.
It's torn apart with it's own hands.
Try to crush the seek that must grow.
Wishing on a strongers demise.
Thinking that you know all you know.
Encrypting the truth in it's lies.
[CHORUS:]
Poised on the edge of your mindless plans,
Does the fear inside make the threat seem real.
Attractive, destructive, resist the gravitational force.
Appear as a lamb, revealed as a wolf,
Enticed by promises true and false,
Reactive, seductive,
Fate is simply running it's course.
Ignorant and blind, It threatens from afar.
No sense within it's mind,
It's seeking ways to justify.
And there's no cause to find.
It let's us know it's plans.
It's programmed to destroy.
It's torn apart with it's own hands.
Try to crush the seek that must grow.
Wishing on a strongers demise.
Thinking that you know all you know.
Encrypting the truth in it's lies.
[Chorus]
The theme of Alchemist's song Escape From The Black Hole is about the potential dangers of an unknown force or entity that seeks to destroy without reason. The song draws similarities between the force and a black hole, a gravitational pull that threatens everything around it. The lyrics speak to the human tendency to ignore warnings and fall into a trap that we don't see coming. However, the song also highlights the importance of unity in times of danger and how it can serve as a saving grace from destruction.
The chorus begs the question if the fear we feel inside when encountering an unknown threat is enough to make it seem real. The verses also suggest that we shouldn't be blinded by the promises we are offered, as they could be both true and false. The unknown force is seen as both attractive and destructive, luring us in with its persuasive tactics. The song ultimately emphasizes the importance of being aware of one's surroundings and heeding warnings before making decisions that could lead to catastrophic consequences.
