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

Alchemist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Allow it to be caught by science
Life's boundaries are being smashed
Processes in natures defiance
Existence without creation
Life without conception
Humanity pushes progress
Cones, not knowing where you came from
Professionally created
Who were you spawned from?
Frozen you have waited
An after crop of technology
Not knowing the warren crop
Of flowing milk and honey
Experiments no longer restricted to animals
As long as you got the money
Caught in a realm of fantasy
Is an actual reality
Life of mass brutality
You've blossomed from modern surgery
End the tears of infertile parents
Embryo's paused in time
Is your life an endless question
Or an unnatural crime?
Now you know, you have been told
The truth about your life
You're father was a sterile test tube
Your mother a surgical knife
Unable to carry a child so meek and mild
Who's fault is this?
Our seed shall blend with science
In an alliance, our minds insist
So now you find your life's an endless cause
The endless question that haunts you
You can not pause
Your parents say they are truly yours
Answering questions, opening doors
The song "Jar of Kingdom" by Alchemist explores the theme of science meddling with nature and the consequence it has on humanity. The first verse talks about the advancements in science breaking the boundaries of life and nature, and life being caught and controlled by science. It questions whether humanity is progressing in the right direction with their scientific advancements. The second verse talks about the creation of life without conception where technology is being used to replace nature. It brings up the topic of embryos being paused in time, mass brutality and the consequences of the unnatural life that we have created.
The song brings up a very relevant topic, given the world we live in, where science has meddled with nature to such an extent that it has caused irreversible harm to the environment and human life. The song is a warning to humanity about the consequences of playing God and using science to replace nature.

The endless question that haunts you
The never-ending inquiry into the origin of artificially spawned organisms
You cannot pause
The necessity for continual progression and growth
Your parents say they are truly yours
An assurance that, despite artificial birth, parents still claim ownership over their offspring
Answering questions, opening doors
The scientific community is seeking to resolve queries and push scientific limits forward
