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.

Purple
Alchemist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to find the bottom of the top
From the imbetweenal plane
Ultraviolet craniums glowing with seductive scent
The circus now surrounds me, attractive but obscene
I do not understand me, can you repeat me please?
Opaque, my existence from the end to the start
Numbing creation but creatively inspired
I do not understand me, can you repeat me please?
Particles of Edis Saloc
Taste the thought-provoking breeze
An interpretation of creation
Feel the uncontrolled in oscillation
But a vision of alienation
Enter into a labyrinth, a new direction to uphold
New inputs accepted, then as earing the world still turns
And Mother Nature will never grow old
Purple, angles found in symmetrical visions
Impossibilities come to life
Edis Saloc stripped from nature
Severely severed, placed in a pyramid
The lyrics to Alchemist's song Purple are highly symbolic and abstract, inviting the listener to interpret them in their own way. The lines "Looking in the corner of a magic round room" and "Trying to find the bottom of the top" suggest a search for meaning and understanding, perhaps relating to the universe or the self. The reference to the "imbetweenal plane" reinforces this theme of exploration and discovery.
The next few lines are filled with sensory imagery, describing "ultraviolet craniums glowing with seductive scent" and a "circus" that is both "attractive but obscene." These lines could be interpreted as a commentary on the strange and sometimes contradictory nature of life and the world around us. The repeated question "I do not understand me, can you repeat me please?" underscores the sense of confusion and frustration that can arise when we attempt to make sense of our experiences.
The references to "Particles of Edis Saloc" and "an interpretation of creation" suggest a scientific or philosophical perspective, while the lines "Numbing creation but creatively inspired" and "But a vision of alienation" hint at the tension between our desire to create and our sense of isolation or disconnection from the world.
Overall, the lyrics to Purple are enigmatic and open to interpretation, inviting the listener to explore their own thoughts and feelings about the themes of discovery, confusion, and creativity.

Looking in the corner of a magic round room
Searching for answers in a confusing and mystical environment
Trying to find the bottom of the top
Attempting to understand the highest level of knowledge
From the imbetweenal plane
From a place between reality and imagination
Ultraviolet craniums glowing with seductive scent
Minds illuminated by an irresistible allure
The circus now surrounds me, attractive but obscene
Surrounded by tempting yet disturbing sights
I do not understand me, can you repeat me please?
Uncertainty about personal identity and seeking clarification
A strange and distant melody, provoking an absurdity
An unusual tune that provokes irrational behavior

My life is unclear and nonlinear

Overwhelmed by life but still finding inspiration to be creative

Find a new path through a complex and confusing situation
New inputs accepted, then as earing the world still turns
Accepting new information and continuing to move forward
And Mother Nature will never grow old
The beauty and power of nature will never fade
Purple, angles found in symmetrical visions
A color that represents symmetry and balance
Impossibilities come to life
Things that seemed impossible become real
Edis Saloc stripped from nature
The fictional character 'Edis Saloc' removed from the natural world
Severely severed, placed in a pyramid
Completely separated and isolated, preserved in a symbolic structure.
