1) A G… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two bands, who share the name "Crematory".
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.
The Game
Crematory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You dwell in your own words
Distant from all that's real
Gaze into the mirror
And behold the Face of a player
A game of life - the game of life
A game with your life - the game
A game with your life - the game of life
In some situations once so common
And then disappionted stabbed those
That once aided yuo in the back
Seeking truth in a glass
A game of life - the game of life
A game with your life - the game
A game of life - the game of life
A game with your life - the game of life
Aggressive and disappionted
You roam through life
Tossing away
Your whole future for a
Small illusion in your head
A game of life - the game of life
A game with your life - the game
A game of life - the game of life
A game with your life - the game of life
The lyrics to Crematory's song "The Game" seem to reflect on a person's life defined by lies. The person is distant from reality as they dwell in their own words and gaze into the mirror seeing the face of a player. The song seems to suggest that life is a game and that the person is playing it with their own life.
The person is described as having been disappointed by situations that were once common, and as a result, they have turned away from those who once helped them. They seek truth in a glass, perhaps indicating that they turn to alcohol to ease their pain. The aggressive and disappointed tone of the lyrics suggests that the person is not happy with their life and is willing to toss away their future for a small illusion in their head.
Overall, the song seems to reflect on the idea of life being a game and the consequences of playing it recklessly. The lyrics suggest that the person in the song has been burned by those they once trusted, and as a result, they have retreated into their own world of illusions.
