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

No Coil for Tesla
Atrox Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Opting for research
Opting for truth
Seeing, believing
The digger, the dirt
Why one leads to another
i need to know
I'm being swallowed by evolution
I'm connected

Finding reasons or being alone
Need to go to a less disturbing place
I know I'm on to something
Receiving massive readings
The deadline is waiting

Shutting me down
That's not an option
Protecting my work
Protecting my brand
Wiping me out
That's out of the question
Again I will hide
It's a game on a much larger scale
I will stand in the end

I give as good as I get
I fiw my world
Expecting instant access
To all my cravings
I zap, I get always
This technological wonder

I'm in
Growing

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Atrox's song No Coil for Tesla talks about the search for truth and understanding in the midst of being swallowed by evolution. The singer of the song is on a quest for knowledge, exploring and digging deeper into the unknown. However, the journey is not without obstacles as the deadline is waiting for the outcome of the research. The fear of being shut down or wiped out reinforces the idea that knowledge can be a complex game on a "much larger scale." Still, despite the obstacles, the singer vows to stand tall in the end.

The words in the song reflect the longing for knowledge, the desire for instant access and gratification, and the need for self-preservation. It talks about the struggle for developing and protecting one's work, the integration of technology into human existence, and the willingness to fight for one's beliefs.

Atrox's song No Coil for Tesla is an ode to Nikola Tesla, the Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer who is widely recognized as one of the greatest electrical inventors in history. Tesla's inventions in the field of electricity revolutionized the world, and the title of the song refers to one of Tesla's most significant contributions, the induction motor.
