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!

Man of Fire
Dozer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Safe and sound, don’t you try to keep them both
Cause everywhere you turn there is another side
So lonely, cause we keep each others hands in line…
Man of fire, sounds like ocean waves…
Man of fire, takes you to the grave…
You will know how it feels to get rid of all restraints…
Belong, but that’s not what you have done
Tied and bound, like you’re lying under oath
Cause everywhere you turn there is another lie
So lonely, even though you’ve kept your hands in mine…
The song "Man of Fire" by Dozer is a slow and haunting rock ballad, that talks about the journey of an individual who has become a symbol of power and strength, a man who is on fire, and who destroys everything in his path. The song seems to suggest that the person has become so powerful that he is beyond redemption, and that his actions are causing destruction, even to the people around him. The lyrics "Man of fire, sounds like ocean waves...Man of fire, takes you to the grave" indicate that the man is an all-consuming force of nature, unstoppable and untameable.
The second verse of the song talks about the loneliness that comes with the power the man holds. Though he holds the hands of people, he is still lonely and unfulfilled, and the people around him are mere props to his all-consuming power. The lyrics "Belong, but that’s not what you have done, Tied and bound, like you’re lying under oath, Cause everywhere you turn there is another lie, So lonely, even though you’ve kept your hands in mine" highlight this sense of isolation and detachment from others.
Line by Line Meaning
So long, may you have a pleasant growth
Wishing you well as you embark on your journey
Safe and sound, don’t you try to keep them both
You can't always have everything, so don't risk what's important for something uncertain
Cause everywhere you turn there is another side
Life is full of different perspectives and options
So lonely, cause we keep each others hands in line…
Even though we're together, we may not understand each other
Man of fire, sounds like ocean waves…
Being passionate and driven is exhilarating like the sound of waves crashing on the shore
Man of fire, takes you to the grave…
Being too driven can consume you and lead to your downfall
You will know how it feels to get rid of all restraints…
Breaking free from limitations can be liberating
Man of fire, he will cave you in, cave you in…
Being too intense can be overwhelming and cause others to distance themselves
Belong, but that’s not what you have done
You may fit in, but you haven't necessarily found your place
Tied and bound, like you’re lying under oath
Feeling constrained and obligated to fulfill duties
Cause everywhere you turn there is another lie
People may not always tell the truth or be authentic
So lonely, even though you’ve kept your hands in mine…
Despite being physically close, emotional distance can still exist
