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

Secondhand Traumas
Atrox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They transformed mind into flesh
And lead to the untimely death of the child inside
Fall asunder... now!
And bleed like me, see it's easy
Don't want to be the only one to feel this way
It hurts the most when it heals
Growing inwards in the quick
Don't want to build a womb around me
Don't want to drown in amniotic fluid
Don't want you to say what I want to hear
Can't you see or feel at all?
Must we turn to such drastic measures?
Is suicide attempt the only cry for help you can hear?
A hand on a shoulder that writhes away
The mnemonics of this play is way to strong
Don't want your help but I want to heal
Cross my heart I hope you die
As you go boohoohoo
No hate no more
No more bitterness no more
Nothing matters anymore
I'm not in pain no more
The song "Secondhand Traumas" by Atrox delves into the effects of trauma on an individual's mental health. The lyrics start with the line "Got me some secondhand traumas," indicating that the singer has not experienced trauma firsthand but has been exposed to it indirectly. This has transformed their mind into flesh, implying that the trauma has had a significant impact on them to the point where it feels like a physical affliction. The singer believes that these secondhand traumas have led to the untimely death of the child inside, referring to their youthful innocence and carefree nature.
In the chorus, the tone shifts to one of anger and desperation. The singer urges others to fall asunder and bleed like them, expressing a desire to not be the only one to feel the pain of trauma. They then express a desire to not want to build a womb around them or drown in amniotic fluid, alluding to a desire to not wallow in their pain or be consumed by it. The line "Cross my heart I hope you die" could be understood as an expression of anger towards whoever caused the trauma, or even towards themselves for being unable to heal.
The final lines of the song, "No hate no more, no more bitterness no more, nothing matters anymore, I'm not in pain no more," express a sense of resolution and peace. The singer has managed to overcome the trauma and reach a sense of closure.
Overall, "Secondhand Traumas" is a powerful and poignant song that explores the deep impact of trauma on the human psyche.
