1) Atomizer, a blackened thrash metal band, formed in July 1998 with the intention of playing rock 'n' roll styled black metal. Recording their first demo in December 1998 did not quite go as planned, and that original line up dissolved soon after this. However, the band got a record deal with End All Life productions for a vinyl only release of their debut album The End Of Forever (reissued as The Death Of Forever), the LP sold out surprisingly fast and a CD version followed not long after.
A 7" was the next official release and Gimme Natural Selection was a 4 track EP released by Nihilist Void Records from Norway in 500 copies. The first 100 on white, the second on red and the last 300 on black. This record featured two covers - Ace Of Spades by Motörhead, and Wish You Were a Beer by the Cycle Sluts From Hell.
Death Mutation Disease Annihilation was the second Atomizer album and while it took two goes at recording it, it did eventually happen and it was released on LP again by End All Life Productions in April 2002 and then on CD by Drakkar Productions in September 2002. This was the last recording that would feature guitarist Justin Allen, who was removed from the band in October 2001.
In 2002 the band released another two 7" EPs. The band also put out a split 7" with Root that year via the AJNA Offensive.
In the start of 2003, the band began recording their third album, The Only Weapon Of Choice, which was released five months later.
The album was released on the following formats:
*CD - Australia and New Zealand (Animosity International)
*Gatefold LP - Worldwide (AJNA Offensive)
*Pic Disc LP - Worldwide (Agonia Records)
*CD - Worldwide (Agonia Records)
*Ltd Edition DCD - Worldwide (Agonia Records)
After this release, the band worked on Songs Of Slaughter - Songs Of Sacrifice. This release is a little more experimental than their other releases and also contains an instrumental track.
This release is available in the following formats:
*Double gatefold 7" EP with Poster on Agent Orange Vinyl (Hells Headbangers)
*Double pic disc 7" EP in cloth bag with insert (Hells Headbangers)
*Mini CD with bonus track (Hells Headbangers)
*Double CD (Disc II of Weapon) (Agonia Records)
Live activity was ceased in September 2004, and after the passing of drummer Suds, there will never be another chance for a live performance. A live 10" called Atomic Bloodlust was released during the first half of 2007 by Hells Headbangers and a final studio album was released in 2007 as well.

Join the Blackheart Reich
Atomizer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The ones that furnish your dreams, it's time to suspend belief
For yes, I am the fucking way
Deep in the depths of your mind you know that to be right
Come join the blackheart reich
Deep in the depths of your mind you know that to be right!
And some, some are born to lead, and others born to bleed
We're beyond, beyond salvation with no belief in that myth creation
No mortal fear of any false damnation, join the blackheart reich
Our blackheart reich, we're beyond!
No submissive faith binds me, no crucifix holds me
No crown of thorns shames me, no martyr's legacy
The song Join the Blackheart Reich by Atomizer is a song about rejecting traditional beliefs, and instead embracing a sense of freedom that comes with rejecting them. The opening lines of the song encourage listeners to challenge their preconceptions about what is real and what is not, arguing that the illusions that furnish our dreams are just that - illusions. The lyrics urge listeners to suspend their own disbelief and embrace a new perspective, one that acknowledges that the singer (and the audience) are in control of their own destiny.
The song positions the singer as the leader of a movement or ideology that rejects faith, scripture, and martyrs as a means of understanding the world. Instead, the singer encourages listeners to embrace their own power, to reject the idea that they are "born to lead" or "born to bleed," but rather that everyone has the potential to be powerful and in control of their own fate. The song also rejects the idea of damnation or any kind of divine plan, asking listeners to embrace the idea that they are beyond salvation and must forge their own path forward. Ultimately, the song celebrates an attitude of individualism and self-determination above all else, urging listeners to join the singer in his Blackheart Reich.
