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).

Sorrow
Am I Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Into my pride
Cannot say I'm satisfied
Crawling into my enemies
Never seen a war before
Where I'm loosing my recall
Night disgracing me
Night disgracing me
Nothing can cross me
Pathetic prick
Unconscious teen
Blowing wind a new atmosphere
Straight to the heart into my blood
Never seen a war before
Where I'm loosing my recall
Night disgracing me
Nothing can press me
Night disgracing me
Nothing can cross me
Sorrow, my sanity
Is falling down with my hollow soul
Cries of the night so low
Calling me back to their home
Face of the state where
I'm a diseased culture
Keeping full speed when I cross you
Head in a mask blast through the dusk
Never seen a war before
Where I'm loosing my recall
Night disgracing me
Nothing can press me
Night disgracing me
Nothing can cross me
Sorrow, my sanity
Is falling down with my hollow soul
Cries of the night so low
Calling me back to their home
The lyrics to Am I Blood's song "Sorrow" describe the internal struggle of the singer. The first stanza talks about the singer's dissatisfaction with their pride and their enemies that they feel like they're crawling into. The line "Never seen a war before where I'm losing my recall" implies that they are losing their memory, possibly due to the stress and trauma of the situation they find themselves in.
The second stanza paints a bleak picture of the night, which is "disgracing" the singer. The repetition of the line "Nothing can press me" indicates the singer's stubbornness and resilience. The lines "Pathetic prick/Unconscious teen" are possibly directed towards themselves, indicating a lack of self-worth and -esteem.
The chorus of the song is a poignant expression of the singer's emotions. They feel like their sanity is falling apart along with their "hollow soul". The "cries of the night" are calling them back to their home, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for death.
Overall, "Sorrow" is a reflection of complex emotions that arise during times of extreme stress and trauma. The singer is struggling with their own demons and outside forces that are threatening to overwhelm them.

R.I.P DOOM
Am I blood has moments of sounding similar, but its not as blatant as Flymore compared to Korn, Am I blood is its own band. Even Trivium sounded SIMILAR to metallica at TIMES on Crusade, but it was still Trivium.

Yeah! Agitation is their best album and they DON'T sound like Metallica! Its way more progressive
