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.

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

Nothing In No Time
Alchemist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To have ambition and to strive
Pushing forward driving on
Feeling like you're going nowhere
Feel the pressure self imposed
Feel you're neither here or there
Tame your thoughts to simple goals
Stay on the path no deviation
Fight to reach the destination
Plan, plot, work, strive, bleed, burst
Hope your dreams will stay alive
Black lining, single siding
No false conviction to be hiding
Head down, tales up, reaching goals, no giving up
Push forward, highest gear, only obstacle is fear
Don't give up
Don't give in
You'll have nothing in no time
The lyrics to Alchemist's song Nothing In No Time are about the struggles of trying to find purpose and meaning in life. The opening lines about choosing the best path for one's life and having ambition and drive set the tone for the rest of the song. The next two lines convey the sense of frustration and aimlessness that can often result from chasing success without a clear direction or purpose.
The chorus "Don't give up, don't give in, you'll have nothing in no time" is a warning about the dangers of becoming too focused on external measures of success such as fame or money, and losing sight of what truly matters. The verses encourage a focus on simple goals and staying true to oneself, even when faced with pressure and uncertainty. The final lines about pushing forward and overcoming fear suggest that success comes from perseverance and courage, and that the greatest obstacle to achieving one's dreams is often one's own doubts and fears.
Overall, the lyrics of Nothing In No Time are a reminder to stay true to oneself, focus on the things that truly matter, and not to lose sight of one's goals and dreams in the pursuit of external success.
