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.
4) Alchemist is less commonly known as a Thrash Metal band from the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
5) Alchemist is an incorrect tag for rapper and producer The Alchemist .
Hermaphroditis
Alchemist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The universe above mirrors the universe within.
You search for identity, schizophrenic multibeing.
Your two have become one.
Your Libran scales often sway.
Focus you thoughts on balance.
Mediate on harmony.
Elevate your mind and all that is shall return.
Your active male fuels your fire For furious dominating.
You're passive female, maternal soul.
Psychic subconscious.
Under the scepter of Zeus.
Your two have become one.
Let your will penetrate.
Deeply from within.
Your Libran scales sway .With eternal unrest.
Two as one Unisex, you are she and she is him.
The lyrics to Alchemist's song Hermaphroditis discuss the concept of the union of opposites, which results in the union of one's self. The universe above is mirrored by the universe within, and the lyrics speak to the search for identity and the struggle of being a "schizophrenic multibeing." Despite this inner turmoil, the lyrics suggest that inner equality of masculine and feminine principles can be achieved through meditation and focus on balance and harmony.
The lyrics describe the individual's active male and passive female energies, and how they come together to create a unisex being. This concept is represented by the Libran scales, which often sway due to the eternal unrest within. The lyrics suggest that by allowing one's will to penetrate deeply from within, this inner unrest can be quelled, and the two opposing energies can become one.

Holy crap, I finally found this! Thanks so much for the upload! The only way I found this oddly enough was trying the search function on my new phone I just set up. I couldn't even find this by searching YouTube normally. I have just added it to my playlist. Also, I'm honoured that you even listened to my playlist in the first place. Thank you! 😊
