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).

Negative
Am I Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Believing there's something we need
Respect the honour
Splashing the torment of loss
Christ our servant obeys
I'm flattered
He killed my only belief
We build up a chaos
Asylum is not made from grace
Withdraw, we're never
Giving the pleasure of winning
The brains are damaged flesh
I'm staring
Deep down to massive crowd
They're sinking
Now mind's an open time
Drifting out of sight
Trusting in servitude
How come these souls are moved
Now time's an open mind
Negative youth
Our side
Now time's an open mind
Negative youth
Our side
Refuse, we dissent
Insisting our justice is freedom
Remorse - injury
Is not what we're going to own
The lyrics of "Negative" by Am I Blood seem to be about rejecting the ideas of youth and searching for something more meaningful. The verses suggest a desire to be respected and create something important, but the chorus contradicts that with the phrase "negative youth". This could be interpreted as a rejection of the tendencies and ideals of youth that the singer sees as superficial or destructive.
The second verse talks about chaos and the inability to find asylum or peace through grace. The singer seems to be withdrawing from the desire to win or be competitive, instead allowing their mind to open up to different possibilities. The outro repeats the idea of "negative youth" and suggests that the singer or group are refusing to conform to expectations, instead insisting on their own version of justice and freedom.
Overall, the song could be seen as a rejection of the values and expectations of society, or perhaps a rejection of the singer's own past beliefs and attitudes. The idea of "negative youth" suggests a desire to distance oneself from superficiality and embrace something more meaningful, even if that means rejecting traditional notions of success or happiness.
