2) Female fronted 80s heavy metal band from Japan. Alkaloid was formed in July 1984 in Tokyo and features female vocalist "Angel".
3) Alkaloid is the producer name of Rob Kanters. He started producing under this name since 2005 and hooked up with Unfinished Monkey Records in 2006. Blending dubstep, jungle, breakcore with ska, gypsy and many different other styles, he guarantees to set the dancefloor on fire.
4) ALKALOID CREW are DJ O-MAN(also konwn as BeYonD), JIN, and ALKALOID dancers. ALKALOID is the PSY-TRANCE project, and the concept of the project is providing dramatic and enjoyable stages for everyone. By its unique style, ALKALOID had a big influence on the clubs in Japan, and the members perform in various parts of Japan. And they also have performed at reception parties and fashion shows of top international brands like 'JET SET' to which Kate Bosworth belongs. In the beginning of 2007, they had performed at the new year party in Beijing, China, and last December, they performed as ALKALOID CREW in a 12th anniversary party of velfarre. In recent years, they had performed with various artists in Japan and international artists. and moreover ALKALOID DANCER performed with Infectedmushroom and YOJI BIOMEHANIKA. So, ALKALOID DANCERs must be the originators of trance dancers in Japan!! In 2006, O-MAN was chosen as the 16th place of the best DJ rank in the music magazine "LOUD", and last year, he got 12th place!!! O-MAN's play style is crossover of PSY-TRANCE and various genres like TECHNO and HARD HOUSE, etc, and he also took Electro Sound to his play because he thought it has a large influence on club music. As DJ BeYonD, he also plays various genres like TECHNO and HOUSE. Those tracks and dance make "ALKALOID LIVE STYLE" wonderful and those would be the new PSY-TRANCE style!! http://alkaloid.syncl.jp/
The Cambrian Explosion
Alkaloid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pestilent holes
Mountains rain from the sky
Earth starts to freeze
Equator to poles
Nothing to do here but die
Bacteria
Choking themselves to extinction
Decaying to sulfurous slime
Purple, the seas
Stagnant, they lie
Reduced to hell without time
Until from the poisonous ooze
Two chemical archangels climb
The Gemini
Of collagen and oxygen
Microbes cluster together
Echo themselves toward the sun
Quietly emerge from the nether
Zombified eons expire
Ancient mycelium stirs
Awakens a stygian choir
Pulsating stenches
Soar from the trenches
Congregate, never to sever
Membranes unite
Excrete and divide
Transforming the planet forever
Third time's the charm
Breathe
And a paradigm plunges
Brought to its knees
By molds, fungi and sponges
And then something else
Propels the cells
Away from death's erosion
Conjugates
Accelerates
The Cambrian Explosion
Shocked from slumber
Sways and lumbers
A reborn evolution
The wheel of hunger
Looms humongous
An unborn revolution
And one more time
In the slime
Cell walls groove
Things start to move
Red algae first
Then some worms
In the muck
Things start to fuck
One more tooth
Mouths that thirst
Drawn by light
Things start to bite
One more limb
One more eye
Claws that pry
Things start to die
One more spine
Things start to run
The ocean bursts
The hunt is on
An eon awakes
Fueled by a trillion demises
Ruin awaits
Looms in a million disguises
Predators start to crave more
Multiply as if possessed
To mutate to more lustrous shores
Magnified monsters aspire
Newborn spectacles stun
Exultant on wings of immortal desire
The lyrics to Alkaloid's song "The Cambrian Explosion" depict a vivid and poetic account of the evolutionary period known as the Cambrian Explosion, a time of rapid diversification and emergence of complex life forms on Earth. The imagery of "toxic horizons" and "pestilent holes" speaks to the harsh and inhospitable conditions that prevailed during this ancient era, with the Earth freezing from the equator to the poles, presenting a bleak and desolate landscape where survival was a fierce struggle.
The verses describe the primordial soup of early life on Earth, with bacteria choking themselves to extinction and seas turning stagnant and hellish. Amidst this chaos, two metaphorical "chemical archangels" - the Gemini of collagen and oxygen - arise from the poisonous ooze, symbolizing the emergence of life in its simplest forms. Microbes cluster together and slowly evolve, as a "stygian choir" awakens, hinting at the dawn of a new chapter in Earth's history.
As the song progresses, the lyrics detail the incremental steps of evolution, from the awakening of ancient mycelium to the emergence of multicellular organisms like molds, fungi, and sponges. The narrative shifts towards the Cambrian Explosion itself, a pivotal moment where life on Earth undergoes a rapid burst of diversification and innovation. The imagery of "third time's the charm" and the transformative power of cell division convey the explosive energy and potential unleashed during this period.
The lyrics vividly describe the evolutionary milestones of the Cambrian Explosion, from the appearance of red algae and worms to the emergence of complex organisms with limbs, eyes, and predatory behavior. The portrayal of creatures driven by hunger and desire to survive captures the ruthless yet beautiful dance of life and death that characterizes the natural world. The imagery of "predators start to crave more" and "multiply as if possessed" reflects the relentless drive towards adaptation and survival that defines evolutionary processes.
In the final verses, the lyrics convey a sense of awe and wonder at the magnificence of life's diversity and the relentless drive towards innovation and immortality. The language of "magnified monsters aspire" and "newborn spectacles stun" evoke a sense of reverence for the resilience and beauty of life in all its forms. Ultimately, the song captures the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of life on Earth, from its humble beginnings in the primordial ooze to the wondrous tapestry of biodiversity that continues to unfold to this day.

From the hottest to the coldest regions
Nothing to do here but die
There is no hope for survival
Bacteria
Tiny organisms
Choking themselves to extinction
Dying out due to lack of resources
Decaying to sulfurous slime
Breaking down into a foul, slimy substance
Purple, the seas
The oceans turn a strange color
Stagnant, they lie
They remain motionless
Reduced to hell without time
Becoming a living hell with no sense of time
Until from the poisonous ooze
Out of the harmful sludge
Two chemical archangels climb
Two powerful beings rise
The Gemini
Twins
Of collagen and oxygen
Made of structural protein and the gas we breathe
Microbes cluster together
Tiny organisms gather as one
Echo themselves toward the sun
Reverberate their presence towards the star
Quietly emerge from the nether
Appear silently from the underworld
Zombified eons expire
An undead era comes to an end
Ancient mycelium stirs
Old fungal networks begin to move
Awakens a stygian choir
Brings to life a dark, infernal chorus
Pulsating stenches
Strong, rhythmic odors
Soar from the trenches
Rise from the deep holes
Congregate, never to sever
Come together and never separate
Membranes unite
Protective layers join together
Excrete and divide
Release waste and separate into parts
Transforming the planet forever
Causing permanent change to the world
Third time's the charm
Success comes after two failures
Breathe
Take in air
And a paradigm plunges
A way of thinking collapses
Brought to its knees
Forced to submit
By molds, fungi and sponges
Due to different types of organisms
And then something else
A different entity
Propels the cells
Pushes the cells forward
Away from death's erosion
Preventing collapse and decay
Conjugates
Unites
Accelerates
Speeds up
The Cambrian Explosion
A rapid increase in diversity of life forms during the Cambrian period
Shocked from slumber
Surprised awake
Sways and lumbers
Moves and staggers
A reborn evolution
A new phase of development
The wheel of hunger
The cycle of needing to eat
Looms humongous
Approaches as a massive threat
An unborn revolution
A change that has not yet happened
One more time
Again
In the slime
In the muck
Cell walls groove
Cell structures start to move
Things start to move
Objects begin to shift
Red algae first
Red seaweed appears initially
Then some worms
Followed by certain types of worms
In the muck
In the mess
Things start to fuck
Things start to go wrong
One more tooth
An extra tooth
Mouths that thirst
Hungry mouths
Drawn by light
Attracted to brightness
Things start to bite
Objects begin to attack
One more limb
An additional limb
One more eye
Another eye
Claws that pry
Sharp nails that grab
Things start to die
Life forms begin to perish
One more spine
An extra spinal cord
Things start to run
Creatures start to move quickly
The ocean bursts
The sea explodes
The hunt is on
The search for prey begins
An eon awakes
A long period of time comes to life
Fueled by a trillion demises
Driven by countless deaths
Ruin awaits
Destruction is imminent
Looms in a million disguises
Presents itself in many different forms
Predators start to crave more
Hunters desire increased prey
Multiply as if possessed
Reproduce rapidly as if controlled
To mutate to more lustrous shores
Change to achieve more dazzling outcomes
Magnified monsters aspire
Enlarged creatures seek higher goals
Newborn spectacles stun
Recently-formed marvels surprise
Exultant on wings of immortal desire
Joyful with an eternal longing

@LinusKlausenitzerBass
Thanks for sharing your excitement everyone! This is the song on the album where most of the material was from Danny even though he didn't record it anymore.
@Dr.TanmayMehta
Wishing a joyfully good and happy healthy life to Danny 💚
@PeteHawthorne
Even though Danny is a phenomenal musician with talents some of us humans only dream of having, the band is more impressive to me as a four-piece now. How you constantly push musical boundaries is just beyond me! Well done.
@jamespeterson1630
I figured he wrote most of this one but thanks for the 100% clarification Linus
