In 1993, the band released their first single, Rising High. The track was extensively played in clubs and sold over 10,000 copies without a video or any advertising whatsoever.
The band rose to fame with their successful first album Time To Move, released in 1994. Part of this success was due to MTV and their repeated airplay of the videos for the "Risin' High" and "Move" singles. H-Blockx earned a nomination for "Best Breakthrough Artist" at the following MTV music awards (but lost to Dog Eat Dog). With the help of the singles "Risin' High", "Move", and "Little Girl" their debut album spent 62 weeks in the German album chart, selling over 750,000 copies worldwide, and earning the band their first gold album.
H-Blockx is still active to this day and are regularly releasing new albums, though none of them have caught the public or MTV's eye like "Time To Move" did. However, they had a minor hit in 2002 with a cover of Snap!'s "The Power".

Revolution
H-Blockx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You make me lose my mind, make me forget what's rigth,
you make me lose everything I always had to fight for,
make me lose control, you make lose my soul,
you make me lose everything I always stood up for
It's time to take a stand, I've go to find a solution,
it's time for me to plant, the plant of a revolution
[Chorus: ]
Revolution
It's time for a revolution
I won't be satisfied till violence has died
now don't you know that you're the reason why the people cry
about the dreames you kill bout all the graves you fill
bout all precious blood you always had to spill
It's time to take a stand...
[Chorus ]
Revolt!
Man I've got to come down, down to reality,
conspiracy rules the world and we
can't close our eyes about the fact
that disrespect lets the world be divide
d in first, second, and third,
though that will always be so and all I know,
is that I have to show you that ain't right,
and it's our plight to fight for the rights of the weak
and that's why we need this RE-VO-LU-TION

@JeremyZakrzewsky
Ja tez kupiłem kasetę ciemno w 95! I od tamtej pory mam ich wszystkie płyty, dvd, kasety! Dla mnie to oni własnie wyznaczyli nowy numetalowy nurt w muzyce! Byłem w maju na ich koncercie i mimo upływu lat kopią tyłki ludziom dalej! Takich kapel jest mało na swiecie!
@MrVimek
Numetalowy nurt? A słyszałeś o Kobong?
