In 1995, Christoph "Christ" von Freydorf (vocals) and Stefan "Fini" Finauer (drums), pupils of a convent school, founded the band together with Christoph's church choir friend Jamie "Citnoh" Richardson (bass guitar). They were joined by Stephan Karl "Moik" and Franz Wickenhäuser (both guitar). The band was founded in Hohenschäftlarn near Munich. The name Emil Bulls is derived from a children's movie.
In 1996, they recorded their first CD Red Dick’s Potatoe Garden themselves. The CD is in great demand today because of its small circulation. In 1997, they attended the Emergenza festival and finished third in the European competition. For this competition they hired DJ Paul Rzyttka (known as DJ Zamzoe) who afterwards became a permanent member of the band.
After a long tour, their album Monogamy was released by the indie record label Oh My Sweet Records. The record could only be purchased through the internet or during live shows. Monogamy was noticed by Island Records, which offered the band a recording deal. Some of the songs on Monogamy and a few new songs were recorded. The result was Angel Delivery Service, released in 2001. The album was already out of stock a few months later. A new edition was released including a cover version of A-Ha's "Take on Me". The songs "Smells Like Rock'n'Roll", "Leaving You with This" and "Take on Me" were released as singles.
In May 2002, Porcelain was released through Motor Music. "The Coolness of Being Wretched" and "This Day" were released as singles. Between June 2001 and August 2002, the band played 129 live shows including Rock am Ring. In August 2003, drummer Stefan Finauer left the band to go to university. He was replaced by Fabian Fab Füß. In 2003, the band played some shows in Canada and the United States.
On June 20, 2005, The Southern Comfort was released on Pirate Records. It was the last record with DJ Zamzoe.
In February 2007, the live and acoustic album The Life Acoustic was released. The album, which was recorded in Pullach in 2006, was followed by an acoustic tour.
The following album The Black Path was released on April 4, 2008, on Drakkar records. It is the hardest record of the band so far and was recorded in Hannover by Benny Richer (Caliban, Krypteria). The single "The Most Evil Spell" was offered as a free download.
In 2009, Chrissy Schneider left the band and was replaced by Andy Bock, who was the guitar player of From Constant Visions. On September 25, 2009, Phoenix was released. "Here Comes The Fire" was offered as a free download on their website. In September 2009, a music video of "When God Was Sleeping" was released.
The band's latest studio offering, Oceanic, was to be released on September 30, 2011.
Revenge
Emil Bulls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Improvised, modified, dead, overcome
Improvised, modified, dead, overcome
Improvided, modified, dead, now Fire!
We all lay down with bugs now we got the flees
We put gas in the fires of our enemys
Our excesses are know, our successes not
Iprovised, modified, dead, overcome
Improvised, modified, dead, overcome
This is the time, this is the place for the great revenge
This is the day to say FireFuckYou
It is the anger, it’s the hate that modivates
We rise from the ashes with our FireFuckYou
Yes we know all that’s been, was it comedy
And we dug our own grave from the tv screen
Got the pash, got the strenght to take its mistakes
We can pull ourselves out of any hole
Improvised, modified, dead, overcome
Improvised, modified, dead, overcome
This is the time this is the place for the great revenge
This is the day to say FireFuckYou
It is the anger it’s the hate that modifvates
We rise from the ashes with our FireFuckYou
The more you hate, the more you learn
We know it will hurt a lot
But in the end we're right
This is the time this is the place for the great revenge
This is the day to say FireFuckYou
It is the anger it’s the hate that modifvates
We rise from the ashes with our FireFuckYou
Hey you, this is the great revenge
This is the day to say FireFuckYou
Hey you, this is the revenge
This is the day to say FireFuckYou all
Fire fuck you all
Fire fuck you all
The lyrics of Emil Bulls's song Revenge seem to suggest a call to arms, a desire to fight back against perceived injustices and enemies. The repeated refrain of "improvised, modified, dead, overcome" suggests a commitment to adaptability and resourcefulness, while the subsequent call to "Fire!" indicates a willingness to take action and fight for what they believe in.
The verses talk of putting "gas in the fires of our enemies" and rising "from the ashes with our FireFuckYou", using anger and hate as motivators to push forward and get revenge. The lyrics also acknowledge the mistakes and excesses of the past, but instead of dwelling on them, they choose to use them as learning opportunities and pull themselves out of any hole.
Overall, the song seems to be a powerful anthem for those who feel wronged or oppressed, urging them to take action and fight back against their enemies. It's a testament to the power of anger and hate to fuel change, but also an acknowledgement that it can hurt a lot in the process.

Improvised, modified, dead, overcome
We've been through changes, faced difficulties and even thought we were defeated, but we overcame them all
Improvised, modified, dead, now Fire!
We took all those experiences, transformed them into something greater and now we're ready for action
We all lay down with bugs now we got the flees
We were too close to our enemies, and now we're suffering the consequences
We put gas in the fires of our enemys
We fueled our enemies' hatred towards us
Our excesses are know, our successes not
Our mistakes are widely known, but our victories are not recognized
Wasting time, fighting rules, coming out to pull
We've spent too much time fighting against ourselves and society's norms, but now we're taking action
This is the time, this is the place for the great revenge
We've waited too long, but now it's the perfect moment for revenge
This is the day to say FireFuckYou
We're not holding back anymore, and we're ready to express our anger

Our rage and animosity are what fuel our actions
We rise from the ashes with our FireFuckYou
We're prepared to emerge from the ruins, ready to take revenge
Yes we know all that’s been, was it comedy
Looking back, it almost seems like a joke
And we dug our own grave from the tv screen
We were too influenced by media and others, which led to our own downfall
Got the pash, got the strenght to take its mistakes
We have the passion and strength to correct our errors
The more you hate, the more you learn
Hatred can teach us invaluable lessons
We know it will hurt a lot
We're prepared for the pain that comes with revenge
But in the end we're right
We know that our actions are justified
Hey you, this is the great revenge
We're addressing our enemies directly, letting them know that revenge is coming
Hey you, this is the revenge
We're emphasizing that this is not a small retaliation, but a full-on revenge
This is the day to say FireFuckYou all
We're not only addressing specific individuals, but everyone who's ever wronged us
Fire fuck you all
Our anger and hatred are directed towards everyone who's ever crossed us
