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!

The Ventriloquist
Dozer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need no hand in mine, and the season's passing by too fast for us
As long as I'll be free internally
As long as I will live forever long
So cold I'm watching you, and the waves take out your fear into the sun
I bleed from time to time, now the rain is pouring down on everyone
The lyrics to Dozer's "The Ventriloquist" are full of symbolism, but at the core of the song is the feeling of loss and the passage of time. The line "So you gave your life long before your time, it had not yet begun" suggests that someone has died too young, before they had the chance to fully live their life. The singer expresses a sense of helplessness - "I need no hand in mine" - as they watch time pass by too quickly. They witness the passing of seasons, which is a metaphor for the fleeting nature of life. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the repeated lines "As long as I'll be free internally / As long as I will live forever long". The singer seems to be searching for a way to hold onto their own sense of self and identity, even as they witness the passing of time and the loss of a loved one.
The second half of the song adds another layer of complexity. The singer says they are "watching you" and that "the waves take out your fear into the sun". It's unclear who they're addressing here - perhaps the person who died too young, or perhaps someone else who is struggling with fear. The lines "I bleed from time to time, now the rain is pouring down on everyone" suggest that the singer is also dealing with their own pain and struggles. The rain could be seen as a metaphor for emotional turmoil or grief. Overall, the song seems to be about the bittersweet nature of life - the beauty and joy of living, tempered by loss and pain.
