The result of this was De Infernali. It was never meant to be a real band or even a project but more or less only a way to get some publishing money from Dissection's label Nuclear Blast. All of the instrumental songs were written by Jon long before he met up with Damien. The songs "Ave Satan" and "Sign Of The Dark" were written by Damien himself and the rest of the songs were written by Jon, Damien and a friend of their's who helped them out in the studio. The album was recorded by no other than Dan Swanö who also did the vocals on "Sign Of The Dark". As soon as the album was released in 1997 the project was no more.

Atomic Age
De Infernali Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Radiation, deformation
Nuclear world damnation
Mushroom clouds rise with grace
Atomic winter here to stay

Blast from hell burns the world
Storms of death kill with hate
Demons attack with hunger

Satanic warfare by nuclear thunder

Death eruption, caustic weather
Black snow falling, hell is calling
Nuclear holocaust, crimson sky
Beloved paradise, here at last

Radiation, deformation
Nuclear world damnation
Mushroom clouds rise with grace
Atomic winter here to stay

Blast from hell burns the world
Storms of death kill with hate
Demons attack with hunger
Satanic warfare by nuclear thunder

Death eruption, caustic weather
Black snow falling, hell is calling
Nuclear holocaust, crimson sky
Beloved paradise, here at last

It's the Atomic Age
It's the Atomic Age
It's the Atomic Age
It's the Atomic Age

Radiation, deformation
Nuclear world damnation
Mushroom clouds rise with grace
Atomic winter here to stay

Blast from hell burns the world
Storms of death kill with hate
Demons attack with hunger
Satanic warfare by nuclear thunder

It's the Atomic Age
It's the Atomic Age
It's the Atomic Age
It's the Atomic Age
It's the Atomic Age, age

It's the Atomic Age
It's the Atomic Age

It's the Atomic Age
It's the Atomic Age

The next lines "Mushroom clouds rise with grace, Atomic winter here to stay" suggest a strange and terrifying beauty to the destruction caused by nuclear warfare. The "Atomic Age" chorus acts as a refrain throughout the song, emphasizing the theme of the world being permanently transformed by the use of nuclear weapons.

The verses continue to paint a picture of complete devastation, with hellish explosions, storms of death, and demonic attacks. The lyrics suggest a demonic presence fueling the conflict and enjoying the death and destruction it causes.
