After a couple of demos they released the album "Feel,Melt,Release,Escape" on Laser's Edge records in sept. 04. The music was described as classic progressive rock blended with modern raw aggression, and received good reviews worldwide.
Late 2006, they started to make music for a new album. Now the band's music was evolving into a far less aggressive sound spiced with influences of early jazz-rock.
The album "Chain of foods" was recorded in Skansen Lydstudio in 2007, and without a record deal, the band originally decided to release the music on their own. The new album was eventually picked up by Musea Records.
Soon after "Chain of foods" they started recording material the next album which resulted into 2010's "The Best of Antidepressive Delivery". This time, after being fed up with previous recordlabels the band decided to release the album for free once again through www.antidepressivedelivery.com
Followed by a vinyl-version of the album released later on in the year. This will be released on Antidepressive Delivery's own label: Sön & Sön Music and also sold via the band's homepage.
Terminal
Anti-Depressive Delivery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before the invention of God
How I wish I could swim in the cool green ocean
Instead of wading in blood
You spit in my drinking water
And you're the one calling for war
Raping your neighbour's daughter
Take me back to long ago
when air was clean and grass was green and new
Bring back the days
when the decisions were made by me and you
Sound asleep without the slightest worry
Lying safe in your bed
Outside your bedroom window
Children steal clothes off the dead
How can you judge your fellow man
for crossing lines too fine to see?
How can you stand yourself
leading millions in misery?
Do you believe you're untouchable
because you made the law?
Do you believe we'll keep quiet
about what we saw?
The final act of justice
Takes no prisoners at all
Say hello to all your judges
Someone have mercy on your soul
The song Terminal by Anti-Depressive Delivery is a critique of human beings and their destructive tendencies, as well as their hypocrisy and selfishness. The lyrics convey a sense of longing for a simpler, more peaceful time where decisions were made collectively and with good intentions, before the invention of religion and the fall of man. The opening lines express a sense of yearning to exist before the concept of God, suggesting that it has only led to division and conflict among people. The contrast between the desire to swim in a cool green ocean and the imagery of wading in blood highlights the violent and destructive nature of humanity.
The subsequent lines criticize those who act immorally, yet are quick to judge others, further pointing to hypocrisy. The image of a neighbor's daughter being raped and then called a whore illustrates a culture of victim-blaming and lack of accountability commonly found in society. The song goes on to question how anyone could judge another person for crossing lines that are invisible and subjective, while the ones who lead millions in misery remain untouched by the law. In essence, Terminal is an indictment of humanity's greed and self-serving nature, and the catastrophic consequences that result from it.
