2) Essence is a Belgium Hardcore band. ESSENCE was founded in 2005 and went by the name “Essence of Life”. After a lot of discussions and line- up changes due to several reasons, our current singer Fre reinforced the band and we decided to change our name to “ESSENCE”. After rehearsing our old songs and trying to improve them, we felt it was time for a whole new beginning and started working on brand-new material. After we did a couple of shows with well- known international bands from the likes of Maroon, xDeadlockx, Deadsoil, Hatespere and many others as well as sharing the stage with local talented bands such as Chimaera , Morda and The Setup another line-up change occurred and our current guitarist, Maarten, came in to play. After finding our typical sound and working very hard, we got a lot of positive reactions and comments that inspired us to work even harder as a band and to enjoy ourselves as a group of friends and individuals. After a lot of thought and constant plan changes, we decided to record our first demo-mcd in the well- renowned Rape of Harmonies studio in Germany. In the summer of 2007 ESSENCE decided to part ways with singer Fre. Michiel a good friend of the band came in place. With our current line up ESSENCE is more driven than ever. We're aiming to get our music to an higher level and to destroy some venues in the future.

3) Metal/Noise/Hardcore band named Essence from Split, Croatia.
...was formed by Jan Ivelic-Pele (drums), Karmelo Marin-Chmite (guitar) and Damir Brkljacic-Beat Masta B (bass) in the 1996 as a death metal/hardcore band mainly under the influence of bands such as Napalm Death,cannibal Corpse,Death...... In the 1997 essence stopped playing because of some personal issues [Chmite turned towards Khrisna and went to the temple and Masta started pirate pussy hunting career]. 1998 was when the band was formed as we know it now (metal/hardcore/noise) Chmite gathered people that would love this metal/noise mixture of styles till present days, Pele returned as a spine of the band and Ivo Vatavuk-Frusta started as a vocalist. Few months after that we recorded and released our first demo material in 1998 called "Dirt in frame" on our own and Ognjen Pavlovic-Lupez(now a member of TBF) came into the band as a bass guitarist. We activly played for about a year and decided that we should introduce Marin Dumanic-Manir to the band as second guitar. In that period we had few gigs and the time came to record some new material. In the end of 2000 we started the recording of 9 new songs, again on our own, and in the winter of 2001 our second demo was released under the name "Rea". In the begining of 2001 we had a lineup change and Manir was replaced by unfuckable rock machine Ranko Smoljan as an excelent new guitarist. In the winter of 2002 we went on tour and after few days on road we realised that we have some mental differences with our bass guitarist Lupez. So after returning home he left the band and shortly after that was replaced by Vinko Madirazza Ravlic-Rufio Oppossum Fuckwind III. 2003/2004 we started to record [on our own one more time] our third demo material "Larva", and we had a few gigs presenting this material to the local audience! We feel that in this lineup we are complete and we are ready once again to make some music and play it loud and live...

Untouchable
Essence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody in the world touches me like you do
And I know, yes, I know you're touchable
And I know, yes, I know you're touchable
No one knows me like you do
Nobody comprehends the pain I'm going through
Except you
But you I know you're untouchable
You never wanted
What I always needed
And I always needed a door
Trapped in a room full of wonderful colours
You left because you needed more
And we knew from the start we were jumping the gun
I never thought that I'd be the one
Trapped in a room full of wonderful colours
Just me
It's not nearly as bright
I'm afraid of the dark
Its all turning black
I can't see
No one can hurt me like you do
No one will ever know the love I have for you
But they'll know
Yes they'll know you're untouchable
And they'll know
Yes they'll know you're untouchable
You never wanted what I always wanted I always needed a door
Leave me here, I want to be untouchable
I close the door behind you
Now I'm untouchable too
In Untouchable, Essence expresses her deep emotions for someone she cares about. She emphasizes their uniqueness, and describes how no one can replace or touch her like they do. However, she also accepts that this person is untouchable, because they never wanted what she always needed - a door. It's like they left her behind in the room full of wonderful colors and decided to move on to something else, leaving her in the dark. She expresses how she is afraid of the dark and how everything is turning black because they are no longer there to brighten up her life.
Essence's lyrics portray a sense of abandonment, loss, and pain. She talks about how nobody can comprehend the pain she is going through because they never knew her like this person. The line "No one will ever know the love I have for you" suggests that she still deeply loves this person but knows they are unattainable. The song ends with her saying "I close the door behind you, "Now I'm untouchable too," which means that now she is in the same position as the person who left her behind. She has closed the door, and she, too, is untouchable.
Line by Line Meaning
No one can take to place of you
You're irreplaceable and no one can fill the void that you left
Nobody in the world touches me like you do
Your touch is unique and no one else can replicate it
And I know, yes, I know you're touchable
You're within reach and I could have you, but you're choosing to stay away
And I know, yes, I know you're touchable
I know I could have you if I wanted to, but I understand you're not interested
No one knows me like you do
You understand me better than anyone else ever could
Nobody comprehends the pain I'm going through
You're the only one who truly understands the pain I'm feeling
Except you
No one else gets me like you do
But you I know you're untouchable
I know you're unattainable, no matter how much I want you
I accept you're untouchable
I've come to terms with the fact that I can't have you
You never wanted
What I always needed
And I always needed a door
You didn't want the same things I did, and I always wanted a way out of this pain
Trapped in a room full of wonderful colours
You left because you needed more
Our relationship was once a colorful and happy place, but you left because you needed something else
And we knew from the start we were jumping the gun
We both knew we were getting into this too quickly
I never thought that I'd be the one
Trapped in a room full of wonderful colours
Just me
I never thought I'd be the one left behind in this colorful place, without you
It's not nearly as bright
I'm afraid of the dark
Its all turning black
I can't see
Things aren't as bright and colorful anymore, I'm scared of the unknown, and it's all getting darker
No one can hurt me like you do
You hurt me in a way that no one else ever could
No one will ever know the love I have for you
I love you in a way that no one else can understand
But they'll know
Yes they'll know you're untouchable
Everyone will know that you're unattainable to me
And they'll know
Yes they'll know you're untouchable
Everyone will be aware that I can't have you
You never wanted what I always wanted I always needed a door
Leave me here, I want to be untouchable
I close the door behind you
Now I'm untouchable too
You didn't want what I needed, which was a way out, and now I want to be unattainable like you. I close the door behind you and now I'm unattainable too

Sometimes people don't understand it's harder to make a good, catchy, meaningful song than just spiting out some fast riffs. They both take talent and dedication but some times writing a good tune with a good melody can be the biggest challenge. Cheers to Essence

Really, I think this band is going on the opposite direction of what I expected. That is not bad, that is their choice(or the producer choice) but I find a lot easier to explain how a song like Untouchable origined a masterpiece like Blood Culture than the other way around. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate this song, in fact, I really like it, the chorus is stuck in my head and won't let go. What I hate is the fact that Essence made it, and not some other average punk band. This guys make the trash metal that I want to hear for the rest of my life, and it really pisses me of that they are stopping to produce the music that I think they are awesome at just to be some regular punk band.

Lost in Violence, Last night of Solace, PRIME. One of these things is not like the others........One of these things is...Totally different!!! And is completely awesome! I like it better than Solace. I can't stop listening to it. The songs are so damn catchy. Great riffs and tunes. Great job guys!!!!!
Windozer
What the hell happened to these guys. They had such raw aggression in their first two albums.
Lars Muldjord
I deeply respect these hardworking guys for doing whatever the fuck they want! Personally I think it shows that they are in a bit of a transitional phase (that's how I see it anyways, as an outsider I mean). The new style of vocals aren't quite there yet in the quiet parts, but works well in the energetic parts. I like the song, simple an powerful. Don't dig the whole uboat theme of the vid. It seems a bit silly to me. I'm having a hard time relating the music and lyrics to the style of the video.
For a band the size of Essence, this is some impressive shit though.
