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).

Collapse of Ritual Belief
Am I Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When your eyes begun to blind
Infinite desire
Deed of charity
satiated For occupation of Queenly mystery
Through the flames back to fantasies
I´ll obtain my faith
A Second of conspiracy
Naked under a world of rage
To become stigmatized as a Saviour
And a yielding besets the flight
An imposing termination
I´ll convert your thoughts
Insincerely I come across the doors
Loss beyond return with a proud of my arise
Nearly occupied
How long will last the spirit in my blood
A Second of conspiracy
Naked under a world of rage
Wicked for destiny´s embrace
I forsee when hatred becomes my
Collapse Of Ritual Belief
I forsee devotion turns against
Collapse Of Ritual Belief
From now on I instigate for nullity
Prosperity declines
Finite submission
Instigation-Defeat
Castigated by replaced misery
Broken endurance
Through the pain back to suffering
I´ll obtain my faith
How long will...
I forsee...
The lyrics of "Collapse of Ritual Belief" by Am I Blood seem to be about the singer's transformation from being an ordinary person to an "executive dynasty", someone who is powerful and wealthy. The singer seems to be driven by a desire for power and prestige, saying that they will "obtain [their] faith" through their new position. However, the lyrics also suggest that this transformation comes at a cost - the singer is "naked under a world of rage" and experiences "loss beyond return". They also foresee a future where their "hatred becomes [their] collapse of ritual belief", implying that their pursuit of power will ultimately lead to their downfall.
The lyrics seem to be exploring themes of ambition, power, and the corrupting influence of these things. The singer is driven by their desire for success but is also aware of the negative consequences that come with it. The lyrics are quite poetic and use metaphor to create a sense of grandeur and drama. Overall, the song seems to be a cautionary tale about the dangers of chasing after power and success at any cost.
