1) Atrox is a progressive metal band from Trondheim, Norway. The band started out in 1988 under the name Suffocation but this was changed to Atrox in 1990. During the first 8 years of the band's existence Atrox did several gigs (with bands like Equinox, Edge of Sanity, Conception, Witchhammer, Godsend etc), recorded some demos (Darkness, Mind Shadow, Dead Leaves, the Granskogen recordings) that received good reviews and went through some line-up changes.
In 1996 Atrox signed two record deals with the record labels Danza Ipnotica and Head Not Found. A 7" entitled "Silence the Echoes" was released on Danza Ipnotica the same year and the debut album “Mesmerised” on Head Not Found in 1997. Both releases giving Atrox great feedback. The music that Atrox made in this era was death doom metal.
In 1998 Atrox signed a new record deal with Season of Mist and went through some line-up changes again. The band started to make more melodic and experimental/progressive/avant-garde metal and the result of this came out in the "Contentum" album that was released in 1999. This album was a milestone for Atrox; finally they got to show what they were going for. The material was new, the music was new, the setting was new, lots of crazy energy! After this Atrox did some gigs before they started working on their next album.
"Terrestrials" was Atrox's third album and were released by Season of Mist in 2001. This album was a little less schizo than "Contentum" but took Atrox further and higher in a more full frontal progressive blow-out. Both of these releases got the attention of the press around the world and the albums were either totaly praised or slathered. This was also a goal for Atrox to push the listeners limits and try to make people a little more open minded towards music.
After this Atrox signed a new record deal with Code666 and went through some line-up changes again. In 2003 Atrox 4th album "Orgasm" were released. The recipe for this album could be described with the following ingredients: 250gr of Meshuggah, 200gr of The Gathering, 25gr of atmospheric electronic synths. Mixed with a teaspoon of jazz arrangements and rhythmic. At the end, add fantasy and madness as much as you want. With this album Atrox achieved their best reviews in the bands history so far.
The band then played some gigs and did a few festival-appearances (Hole in the Sky and Southern Discomfort), with bands and artists like Katatonia, Arcturus, Entombed, Danzig, Red Harvest, Madder Mortem, The Haunted etc. at the same time as the band went through some more line-up changes. In 2008 they released the album "Binocular". Official site: http://www.atrox.no

Flesh City
Atrox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We eat cannibals before they attack
We eat cannibals and ask afterwards
We can't control our headless horses
As the mongrels snap at their feet
Euphoric with daze and violent with lust
The virgin rapes in clumsy manners
Claims innocence and yells at his scapecock
We constantly move graveward but
We ache too much with greed to actually die
We practice compulsory revival
Of the suicidal
Producing child-size armour and straitjackets for kids
Lobotomizing angels as leper eats their wings
Building drive-thru brothels of glass
Aborting alien fetuses with drill
Serving fillets of genitals in restaurants
Life is but a scream within a scream within a scream
The lyrics of Atrox's song Flesh City describe a world where the line between the living and the dead is blurred. The opening line "Here where the dead mourn for the living" suggests that the living are reduced to the state of the dead, perhaps due to the cannibalistic practices that are prevalent in this world. The refrain "We eat cannibals before they attack" highlights the survivalist nature of this society - they consume their own kind before they themselves become prey. The line "We can't control our headless horses" further reinforces the theme of loss of control and the chaos that reigns in this world. The image of mongrels snapping at the feet of these out-of-control horses is one of utter chaos and disarray.
The subsequent lines paint a harrowing picture of the way human beings have become debased in this world. Masturbating teens, violent lust, rape, and scapegoating all speak to the complete lack of morality in this society. The line "We constantly move graveward but we ache too much with greed to actually die" further highlights the utter futility of existence in Flesh City. The citizens of this world are constantly moving towards death, yet they are unable to let go of their greed and desires, leading to their continued misery. The final lines "Life is but a scream within a scream within a scream" are a poignant reminder of the utter hopelessness of this world - existence is nothing but a screaming void.

Here where the dead mourn for the living
In this place, the deceased feel sorrow for the people still alive
We eat cannibals before they attack
We consume those who would harm us before they have a chance to do so
We eat cannibals and ask afterwards
We do not question our actions until after we have committed them
We can't control our headless horses
We have lost control of our lives and actions
As the mongrels snap at their feet
As others try to drag us down with their negative influence
Masturbating teens round every corner
Young, sexually charged adolescents are everywhere in this place
Euphoric with daze and violent with lust
They are in a state of blissful confusion and have aggressive sexual urges
The virgin rapes in clumsy manners
Even those who have never had sex before are engaging in sexual assault with little skill or consideration
Claims innocence and yells at his scapecock
They try to defend their actions and blame someone or something else for their behavior
We constantly move graveward but
We are always moving towards death,
We ache too much with greed to actually die
But we are too consumed by our own selfish desires to actually let go and die
We practice compulsory revival
We force ourselves to come back to life after attempting suicide
Of the suicidal
Those who are trying to end their own lives
Producing child-size armour and straitjackets for kids
We create tools of restraint and protection for young children
Lobotomizing angels as leper eats their wings
We mutilate and destroy heavenly beings as those with diseases consume their once-beautiful wings
Building drive-thru brothels of glass
We make establishments for sex work that are easily accessible and open to anyone
Aborting alien fetuses with drill
We commit atrocities such as drilling into embryos of extraterrestrial origin in order to terminate their development
Serving fillets of genitals in restaurants
We prepare and serve dishes made from human reproductive organs as a form of cuisine
Life is but a scream within a scream within a scream
Existence is filled with suffering and anguish, which can never truly be silenced
