After signing with AFM Records in 2002, the band then released "Only Human" before touring Europe with Rhapsody and Angel Dust.
Singer Oliver Hartmann then left the band and a replacement was found in former Yngwie Malmsteen singer Mats Leven.
Lenk spent the next few months writing 2003's album “The Evil In You”. A tour with Kamelot followed. After that, "Chained" was released in 2005 and secured chart entries in Scandinavia. The band then toured with Brainstorm and Mercenary. Mats Leven is no longer a member of At Vance and was replaced by Rick Altzi for their newest album, VII.

At Vance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball...
Money, money, money
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
A man like that is hard to find but I can't get him off my mind
Ain't it sad
And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me
That's too bad
So I must leave, I'll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same...
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
It's a rich man's world
The song "Money Money" by At Vance paints a picture of a working-class individual who is constantly struggling to pay their bills, with little to no money left over for themselves. The lyrics express a yearning desire to be wealthy and unburdened by financial troubles. The singer dreams of a life where they don't have to work and can "fool around and have a ball." They long for the easy and carefree lifestyle that seems to come naturally to those with money. The lyrics suggest that the rich enjoy a life of luxury, where they can do anything they want without worrying about financial constraints.
The singer feels a sense of hopelessness and resignation, believing that they will never be able to find someone wealthy enough to take care of them. They express a sense of defeat, acknowledging that a life of wealth and luxury is elusive and unattainable. Despite this, the song ends on a hopeful note, as the singer imagines winning a fortune in Las Vegas or Monaco, suggesting that they still hold onto the hope that someday they will be able to live the life of their dreams.
