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!

Until Man Exists No More
Dozer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’ll grow weak in the end.
Determined to wear me down
they cannot wait to begin.
I’m bound to baged and then planted again, oh no…
So why behave…
in civil ways…
and you still can break…
Tide nor time tarrieth no Man,
The battle is won, but we have lost the war…
Beyond the shadows I crawl, ‘neath the stench… of dying men…
From the eternal sea that he rises,
Creating armies on either shore,
Turning Man against his brother
‘till Man exists no more… no more
The opening lines imply that the singer is facing a challenge that may strengthen them, but ultimately lead to their weakness. The following lines suggest that someone or something is out to wear the singer down, eager to start the process. The line "I'm bound to baged and then planted again" suggests that the singer may feel trapped in a cycle of struggle and defeat.
The following lines "So why behave… in civil ways…" can be interpreted as the singer questioning why they should act in a peaceful or reasonable manner when so much is at risk, and they can still be broken despite doing so. The following lines "Tide nor time tarrieth no Man,/The battle is won, but we have lost the war…" reflects on the fleeting nature of time and how despite winning individual battles or triumphs, the ultimate war may still be lost.
The final lines "From the eternal sea that he rises,/Creating armies on either shore,/Turning Man against his brother/'till Man exists no more… no more" are a reference to the apocalyptic biblical Book of Revelation, describing the arrival of the Antichrist, who creates armies and leads them in a war against humanity. The lyrics suggest that the Antichrist's influence will cause brother to turn against brother, resulting in the ultimate destruction of mankind.
Line by Line Meaning
This might make me strong,
The challenges I face may toughen me up for a while
I’ll grow weak in the end.
But eventually those challenges will wear me down and make me weaker
Determined to wear me down
There are those who are set on bringing me to my knees
they cannot wait to begin.
They're eager to start their attack
I’m bound to baged and then planted again, oh no…
I'll end up buried in the ground, a victim of their schemes
So why behave…
Given these threats, why bother trying to be civilized?
in civil ways…
Why bother with diplomacy and common courtesy?
Cause so much’s at stake…
Because there's so much on the line
and you still can break…
And all that effort might still not be enough to protect yourself
Tide nor time tarrieth no Man,
The passage of time doesn't wait for anyone
The battle is won, but we have lost the war…
Winning individual battles doesn't guarantee overall victory
Beyond the shadows I crawl, ‘neath the stench… of dying men…
Amidst the horrors of war, it's hard to hold onto your humanity
From the eternal sea that he rises,
A powerful enemy emerges from somewhere beyond our world
Creating armies on either shore,
He builds an army on every front
Turning Man against his brother
He pits human beings against each other
‘till Man exists no more… no more
Until we've destroyed each other completely
