1) A German Death Metal (early), Gothic Metal band formed in Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany in 1992.
The German Crematory broke up in 2001 and reformed in 2003 to release the album Revolution, a largely progressive effort which brought the band into more accessible/techno-metal territory than ever before.
Their sound has often been compared to early-Sentenced, Fear Factory, and Dark Tranquillity. The band received its earliest recognition in the mid-1990s by touring with My Dying Bride, Tiamat and Atrocity. Much like the latter two groups, the band had begun as traditional death metal, then evolved with an industrial music and gothic metal musical direction on later albums. The band would receive heavy rotation on MTV Germany, and would also make appearances at various extreme metal festivals, including Germany's Wacken Open Air in the years 1996, 1998, 1999, 2001 and 2008, in addition to inclusion on Nuclear Blast compilation samplers.

The band re-signed to Massacre Records in 2006 after a 10 year stint with Nuclear Blast; Massacre had been the band's first label.
Active for almost 20 years (with a brief split between 2001 and 2003) they are among one of Europe's longest running bands affiliated with the gothic metal genre. (source wikipedia.com)

2) A Swedish Death Metal band formed in Haninge, Sweden in 1989.
The Swedish Crematory formed in 1989, and released 4 demos and one EP.

My Last Words
Crematory Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The lavishness of life is my
Decision
The souls of all souls lie
Securely in my hand
A life is my servant and
Nobody touches them but me
I burn myself in the coldness
Of the wind
He hates and tortures me,
Betrays himself
But i am silent and mock him
In spite of pursuit
I hurl leprosy, pest and smallpox
At him

These are my last words
These are my last thoughts
My last way
These are my last words
These are my last thoughts
My last way
These are my last words
These are my last thoughts
My last way
These are my last words
These are my last thoughts
My last way

I behold the names of his holiness
Because i grind them between my jaws
And cut them out my body
The power of the pentagram
Does not frighten me
I am the master of the triangle
Be careful and warned because
I will not outwit him
I will spew words and
You will need them
As the call of his holiness
But they will be nothing more
Than one of my farces

These are my last words
These are my last thoughts
My last way
These are my last words
These are my last thoughts
My last way
These are my last words
These are my last thoughts
My last way
These are my last words
These are my last thoughts
My last way

I am the master of all forms
All forms arise form me
I am the form of all forms

These are my last words
These are my last thoughts
My last way
These are my last words
These are my last thoughts
My last way
These are my last words
These are my last thoughts
My last way
These are my last words
These are my last thoughts
My last way
