The band's current and former line-up has consisted of many musicians from progenital Gothenburg melodic death metal bands; Kristian Wåhlin, Johan Osterberg, and Alf Svensson were in Grotesque (a predecessor of At the Gates, who Alf would eventually join); and Daniel Svensson briefly played drums with the group before going on to major success with In Flames.
The band's most recent release was The Green Goddess (2001). Various sources differ as to band's status. However, Hans Nilsson's full-time involvement with Dimension Zero and Wåhlin's extensive contributions as an album cover artist and musician for other Scandinavian-area extreme metal bands may be attributable to the long period of no activity.
Remedy
Diabolique Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we meet and the fire shows
Just let it all go
Yes, just let it go
We feel the same we two
We're so close me and you
Girl, you are all that I need
Yes, you are all that I need
We draw flame we catch fire with every breath
All the thrills in the world are not enough
This love is the remedy
Medicine that keeps us free
Pain, relief and ecstasy
Now this is all we'll ever need
This love is the remedy
Sweetest drug that sets us free
Pain, relief and ecstasy
Now this is all we'll ever want to feel
We both uphold the dream
And we'll always know what it means
When we set it free
Yes, we set it free
Surrender to the feel
A vibe that is unreal
Girl, you are all that I need
Yes, you are all that I need
