Assailant were formed in Umeå/Sweden in 2004.
To make a long story shorter: it all began at six different places with six different persons. These six persons didn't know each other at this time, but they all had a great, burning interest in music.

Jocke and Oskar began to play together at a quite early stage and were part of many formations. Later on Peder Sandström joined them and it worked out great. After some years they felt it didn't really work out with their drummer so they decided to give Patrik a shot. They rehearsed/jammed together once and then decided to put Patrik behind the drums. The old material was left behind and new songs began to form.

At this time, in 2001, the band was called Sacra Via. There was however a small problem as they didn't have a vocalist. After some search they found Markus Granberg and soon had a new demo-record finished under the bandname Ecliptica. Time went on and Kristofer Eriksson, a childhood friend of Patrik and Peder joined the band on rhythm guitar; a new demo-record was produced and Ecliptica began to do more live performances. All went smooth but unfortunately for the band Kristofer went to Stockholm to study music and Markus got a job in Spain as an entertainer and suddenly left the country.

In May 2004 what was still left of Ecliptica got in touch with Peder Sundqvist, vocalist of Dead Street Journal and Lesra. They made a new song (Lies) and Mr. Sundqvist seemed to like it, so they all went to a studio and let Mr. Sundqvist record some lines; everyone was extremely satisfied and from that day Peder Sundqvist was the new vocalist.
In August the band felt they could really use another guitarist so they contacted Marcus Sundbom (Dead Street Journal and Diaspora) who was happy to join.
They all did feel that Ecliptica was no longer a righteous name for the band; the music itself had changed so much and also the band-members. They now took the name Assailant.

Since that day they have produced a lot of material and performed live (Demons of the Opera among other events).

Assailant are never standing still, they are always striving forward using their creativity, inspiration and burning passion for music. Their music I would describe as a huge concrete wall with melodic paintings, a threatening atmosphere and an aggressive edge.
At this very moment Assailant's planning the recording of their debut-album along with the record-label Dockyard1.

Until The End
Assailant Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feeling numb and left to die
all those times I walked the mile
Loosing strength in who I am straight into the night

I laugh inside, feels like I am going insane, you're in my brain
I try to hide, trying to figure out what to do am I the fool

Here I am, lost again, alone and dissolutioned

These eyes will only shine for you
I am here all alone, waiting until the end
For you to come through

I saw you while you walked away
I turned my back, you heard me say
Never give up, never give in until the end

I laugh inside, feels like I am going insane, you're in my brain
I try to hide, trying to figure out what to do am I the fool

Here I am lost again alone and dissolutioned
These eyes will only shine for you
I am here all alone, waiting until the end

For you to come through
These eyes will only shine for you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Assailant's song Until The End suggest a sense of helplessness, loneliness, and disappointment. The opening lines, "Feeling numb and left to die, all those times I walked the mile," reflect a state of despair where the singer is unable to feel anything and is left alone to suffer. As the song progresses, the singer continues to express his anxiety and confusion, often questioning his own sanity and wondering if he is the fool.

The chorus of the song, "These eyes will only shine for you, I am here all alone, waiting until the end for you to come through," suggests that the singer is waiting for someone to rescue him from his current state of mind. He is willing to wait until the end, indicating that he is willing to endure all the pain and suffering until the person he is waiting for comes through. The final verse, "I saw you while you walked away, I turned my back, you heard me say, Never give up, never give in until the end," suggests that the person the singer is waiting for has left him behind, but he still holds on to hope and encourages them to keep fighting until the end.

Overall, the song Until The End portrays the emotional turmoil that one can experience when left alone to face their demons. The lyrics reflect a sense of hopelessness and uncertainty, but at the same time, they also convey a message of resilience and determination to survive against all odds.
