1) A stoner rock/metal band from Borlänge, Sweden.
2) A hardstyle DJ.
3) An alternative group from Seattle.
1) The band was founded in 1995. In the late 90's they began sending out their demo, although not really expecting anything big to happen. When Frank Kozik of Man's Ruin Records heard their demo, he immediately signed them. Man's Ruin released their first album, In the Tail of the Comet. Soon after, they came out with their second release, Madre de Dios. This was not as successful as 'In the Tail of the Comet' due to Man's Ruin collapse shortly after its release. In 2003, Dozer made a comeback with Call it Conspiracy. Their latest album, Through the Eyes of Heathens has achieved much success with its more hard rock and metal influences.
The current line-up:
Fredrik Nordin (vocals, rhythm guitar)
Tommi Holappa (lead guitar)
Johan Rockner (bass guitar)
Olle 'Bull' Mårthans (drums)
Fredrik and Tommi are also part of the swedish stoner band Greenleaf.

2) Dozer (DJ Tony) started his career at a very remarkable way in 1990. Back in those days he had a friend which was resident at a local club in Eindhoven. Tony always went to that club with his friend. At that time Tony had the thought of starting a dj career of his own but it didn’t come to this point yet. One day his friend couldn’t make it to the club and asked Tony to replace him that night. This was the immediate start of his career. The owner of the club was stunned by his performance and offered him a residency at his club.
From the beginning Tony played house music which was just upcoming at that time. By the end of the nineties the hardhouse became more popular and Tony picked it up and directly stated playing this kind of house music. Eventually the hardhouse would split up in hardstyle and jump. The last style is the main music style Tony is playing in his sets nowadays. Of course Tony also plays hardstyle with a wink to early rave.
In 2004 his long awaited first track was released and from that moment on he also made name as a producer. All his tracks are released on the Superplastic label, which is a sub label of the famous Fusion label. His tracks found their way to all famous jumpstyle artists and are now heard at every big party and club. His first record was Whipe Out/ Kick and would be followed by more massive tracks like Afraid of the Dark, Squels and Krekwakwou. Tony spends a lot of time in his studio and you can be sure that more jumpstyle hits will follow!
The success of his tracks was picked up by the big promoters and soon he played on all big events like Defqon, Q-Base and Hard Bass. Today he is a resident at the Rodenburg and besides that he played at the biggest clubs in Europe, like the Time Out (NL), the Matrixx (NL), Outland (NL), Cherrymoon (BE), Zak (DE), Oxa (CH) and the Mad (CH). Everywhere Tony performs, the crowd is going wild!
Meanwhile Tony is a well known artist with recognisable tracks and his own style of performance. For sure you are going to hear a lot of DJ Tony in the near future!

Empire's End
Dozer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you've discovered lies
Brush it off inhale your anger and you will only find
I am so tired I still believe...
I don't know why all this fury's coming out tonight
No one's keeping it inside so I will let it out
I am so tired I still believe...
I am the demon from below
I am the dying and the grief
I am sustained by your relief...
I control the rage you have for everyone alike
I'll unleash it you can't tame the wind I have in mind
I am so tired I still believe...
Death is coming nearer I can feel the demon's out
I have fooled you all and I now you'll pay the highest price
I am so tired I still believe...
Bright borealis - Sounding of horns
March of the wanderers - Breaking of morn
Circles of aeons - Empire's end
Time has no malice - Smoke on the wind
The lyrics to Dozer's song Empire's End speak of a deep-seated anger and frustration towards someone or something that has been lying and hiding the truth. The singer seems to be struggling with the irrationality of their feelings and the inability to control their own rage. They acknowledge that they are exhausted, but they still hold on to their belief, possibly indicating that they are determined to see the truth prevail.
The second verse introduces a darker side to the singer, as they reveal themselves to be "the seasons of the North," "the demon from below," and "the dying and the grief." They seem to be channeling everyone's rage and are willing to unleash it, indicating a sense of power and control. However, even amidst their arrogance, they acknowledge their tiredness and their belief.
The chorus then takes a sinister turn, with the singer warning of an impending doom and the payment of the highest price. The use of phrases like "bright borealis," "sounding of horns," and "time has no malice," evoke powerful imagery of an impending reckoning, which the singer seems to be welcoming.
Overall, the lyrics to Empire's End outline a conflicted personality, struggling with anger and the desire for control, all the while acknowledging their exhaustion and belief. The song delivers a sense of impending doom, perfectly complemented by the music's heavy and brooding tone.

Neil Fallon and Dozer... sounds like the ultimate combination - totally love this track
@thesuperbsuperb
My last comment was 2 years ago. I maintain the same with the only additions being this is heavy and raw AF, and ages better than wine.
@djhenyo
These guys are a total throwback to the badass hard rock of the early nineties.
