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

Tight Tie
Atrox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My new white shirt
The official image
Is ready to start the day
Flawless on the outside
Deciding what role I'm playing
I will not change
Polished I am...
Who do you want me to be?
Visions of grandeur
Big- big fantasy
Fixing what's dull in the reality
Change around
So I can soothe them all
You have no idea what's going on
And how I hide my tracks
I will deny every wrongdoing
This might be the cover story
This might be the big breakthrough
I'm in the news - I'm in the news
Marking off my territory
Putting up my fences
I can still see you...
The lyrics to Atrox's song Tight Tie describe the persona a person puts on when they go out to face the world. They describe a feeling of putting on a polished exterior while hiding what's going on inside. The first stanza talks about getting dressed up and putting on a new white shirt and tight tie to present an official image to start the day. The second stanza describes the person deciding what role they are playing and refusing to change their lifestyle habit. The word "polished" implies that the singer portrays an image of perfection on the outside while inside might be a different story. They ask the question "Who do you want me to be" suggesting they are willing to be whoever the world wants them to be.
The third stanza talks about a big fantasy and the singer trying to fix what's dull in reality. They want to change things around so they can soothe everyone. The fourth stanza describes the singer hiding their tracks and denying any wrongdoing. The use of the word "might" in the fifth stanza when they talk about being in the news and this being a cover story implies a sense of uncertainty. The final stanza talks about marking off their territory and putting up fences as a way to control their image. The last line "I can still see you..." suggests that the singer is still aware of those around them despite their efforts to present a polished exterior.
