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.

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

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

Worlds Within Worlds
Alchemist Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like creatures within the deepest oceans, you are existing unaware of
Worlds outside your own.
Disregard what is believed and fantasy shall enter
Begin to think of concepts that are slightly left of centre
Begin without beginning and conclude eternally
A mass infinite cycle I am in and is in me.

The not yet born and dead may know

Where we've been and where we go
What's to come and why where here
But when I look it's most unclear.

At times I'm lost with things I find
Is god creator or image if mind?
A macroscopic universe - a microscopic view
Variety of astonishment I can't see thought.

Imagine places I've not been
Picture sights I've never seen
Believe in worlds I cannot see
Those I'm in and those in me
Though life's torment I now find
Life may be a state of mind
Disregarding the impossible
We believe in what is tangible

We feel the warmth of one in a trillion starts

Ethereal continuation - thoughts beyond infinite cycles
Are we just a chemical equation that reached consciousness
Though evolution?

Earth's nature confines itself. But within cosmology - infinity

Overall Meaning

The fourth stanza touches on the struggle of life and how our perceptions of the world influence our experiences. The final line of the song, "We feel the warmth of one in a trillion stars" speaks to the interconnectedness of all existence, even across vast distances and disparate worlds.
