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

Heartquake
Atrox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But oh so afraid it will end up with a heartache
These untimely little deaths
Would leave me out of breath
Life would flash before my eyes
You might become a liability
Still I'd know how it feels
The absence
Is highly present
It smothers me
Absorbs me like a black hole
The absence of longing
Fills up time and space
Tons and tons of emptiness
Weigh upon me
You're a bumpkin groping and falling
But you're my pumpkin prescious adoring
Wish for you to say it
First
Better to have failed in true love
Than never knowing what you long for
Better to feel pain
Than to feel nothing
The Atrox song "Heartquake" is a poignant and expressive exploration of the nature of love, loss, and longing. The opening lines of the song express a desire to feel a "heartquake" - a powerful, all-consuming sensation that would leave the singer breathless and in awe. However, this desire is tempered by fear - the fear of experiencing a "heartache" - the inevitable sadness and pain that often accompanies intense emotions. The singer is torn between a desire for passion and an awareness of the potential consequences of pursuing that passion.
The middle of the song is characterized by a sense of absence and longing. The singer is consumed by a feeling of emptiness, as though a part of them is missing. The lyrics suggest that this absence is caused by the lack of romance or passion in the singer's life. They feel smothered and absorbed by this emptiness, which weighs heavily on them.
The final lines of the song reveal a note of hope and optimism. The singer suggests that it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. They would rather risk the pain of a broken heart than live their life without experiencing the joys of passion and connection.
Overall, "Heartquake" is a powerful and evocative exploration of the complexities of love and loss. It captures the conflicting emotions that come with pursuing passion, and ultimately suggests that even in the face of pain and heartache, the risk of love is worth taking.
