They released a record as St. Mucus in 1995, which is called "Natural Mutation". With their actual name, Am I Blood has released 4 records and an EP so far, including: "Am I Blood" (1997), "Agitation" (1998), "Gone With You (EP)" (2000), "The Truth Inside the Dying Sun" (2001), "The Truth Inside The Dying Sun" re-edition (2005) and "Existence of Trauma" (2011).
The "The Truth Inside The Dying Sun" record was ready to be released a couple of years before 2005, but the band decided to wait due to some trouble with an American label. Eventually the album was released with the Finnish label Scandinavian A1 Music.
Jenne Kerminan sounds like James Hetfield especially in "Gone With You" (MetallicA).

Am I Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Injustice for a dream
Avoid murder in the name
Of your testimony
Have you seen a burning brain
Mother in the act of death
Raping for the chosen one
Drown the freak into the sea
Dirt alive in the ground
Polluted massacre's mind
Creeping over the dark
Have you seen tearing nails
Child in the act of flesh
Waiting for the last belief
Building up a safe disguise
Born of the battlefreak
Attacks with weak disease
Planning days in a can
Listening sounds of the night
Sitting in a trance
In different smile
The lyrics to "Battlefreak" by Am I Blood speak to themes of injustice, violence, and the human psyche. The song opens with a call to face the truth without fear, suggesting that honesty and transparency are necessary for progress. However, this idea is juxtaposed with the need to avoid murder in the name of one's testimony, highlighting the fragility of human morality.
The second verse introduces disturbing and gruesome images of violence, such as a burning brain and drilling into a hollow skull. The use of vivid and graphic language paints a picture of horror and brutality. The chorus references drowning the freak into the sea and dirt being alive in the ground, adding a surreal and almost supernatural element to the song.
