In November 2001, singer Sarah Jezebel Deva (Cradle Of Filth, Therion, Mortiis etc), and composer Chris Rehn (Abyssos) met on a mutual tour. They soon became good friends and discovered both had the same ideas about working with a completely orchestral project, which led them to Angtoria. Chris composed the songs and Sarah wrote the lyrics and in November 2002 they recorded a 5 track demo at Virtual Symphony.
They sent out this demo to record labels, and interest for the new formed band grew quickly resulting in several top rated reviews, awards and interviews for magazines all over the world.
In November 2005 they started recording their debut album entitled "God Has a Plan for Us All" . After recording with several guests, the album was released at the end of April 2006 on Listenable Records.
Angtoria was forced to change their name due to reasons beyond their control. Writing for the new album will start in January 2012.
In 2020 on Sarah Jezebel Deva's official FB music page stated that Angtoria will now continue writing music under a different name. Sarah and Chris have parted ways with Tommy Rehn and because he came up with the band name, they can no longer use it. For that matter, their website has also been suspended.
I'm Calling
Angtoria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Girl I called for you
Come and save me from this, wicked world I'm born into!
Let's play a game of hide and seek
I want my prince to rescue me
From the evil lurking at my door
Was tempted by a mystery, I called to you, Only for you
My dreams are all for me
He'll move the sun and stars, no fallacy
I'm dauntless when I'm with you
Child like dreaming, I call for you!
When I'm all alone
A damsel in distress
He'll come and save me from this, wicked world I'm born into!
He rides the night, defeats the storm
We'll sneak away by early dawn
To his kingdom in the sky!
My destiny, my fantasy, I'm calling, I'm calling
Was tempted by a mystery, I called to you, Only for you
My dreams are all for me
He'll move the sun and stars, no fallacy
Im dauntless when I'm with you
Child like dreaming, I call for you
My dreams are all for me
He'll move the sun and stars, no fallacy
Im dauntless when I'm with you
Child like dreaming, I call for you
The lyrics to Angtoria's song "I'm Calling" delve into the theme of escapism from a world that the singer deems as wicked. The narrative is centered around a character who is still childlike in her approach to the world and rather than facing her problems head on, she calls out for a savior. The opening lines of the song, "When I was a little girl I called for you, come and save me from this wicked world I'm born into!" set the stage for this escapism.
The singer throughout the song paints a picture of an ideal world she fantasizes about, where she is saved from the evil that is lurking at her doorsteps. The lyrics "Let's play a game of hide and seek, I want my prince to rescue me, from the evil lurking at my door, my destiny, my fantasy" highlight this escapist tendency. The character is no longer a little girl, but her approach to the world is still that of being naive and needing protection.
The chorus of the song, "My dreams are all for me, he'll move the sun and stars no fallacy, I'm dauntless when I'm with you, child-like dreaming, I call for you" amplifies this. The singer is yearning for a world where her dreams (presumably of safety and comfort) can be hers with minimal efforts. The song highlights the singer's belief that with the help of a savior, she can attain a childhood-like sense of dauntlessness and can dream without inhibition.

Lyrics are perfect!! I haven't listened to this band in ages.....and came across this song this evening, while browsing through my players.
Kinda blown away at how many different types of music that I listen to. Never really paid attention until now.

Juste magnifique - Vraiment dommage qu'il n'y ait pas eu de 2nd album.
Peut-on retrouver la chanteuse dans un autre groupe ? Une voix pareille ne peut pas se perdre.

What is the whole deal with this song being Annihilation chaos by the legion? It's titled like that on spotify and it's weird as hell. Can they like fix that?
