1) IKON is an Australian goth/darkwave band that has gained an international following. Chris McCarter(vocals, guitar, programming) and Dino Molinaro (bass) began to create music as high school students in Melbourne, Australia in 1988. In 1991, their band Death in the Dark, which included Michael Carrodus on vocals, changed its name to IKON.
IKON has released five studio albums, five EPs and seventeen singles, with additional unique versions that have been produced for Germany, America and Russia. The bandโs last full-length release, Destroying the World to Save It, attained number 21 on the Native DJ World Charts for best album of 2005.
IKON has frequently toured Australia, Europe and the UK. IKON has played on the same bill as The Sisters of Mercy, H.I.M., Soft Cell, Death in June, London After Midnight and The Mission. IKON has performed at the Eurorock Festival (2001) in Belgium and at the Mโera Luna Festival (2002) in Hildesheim, Germany before an audience of more than 15,000 people. The band has also appeared three times at the worldโs largest goth festival, Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig, Germany, in 2003, 2005 (during that year Anthony Cornish joined the live line-up on guitar) and 2011.
In 2007, the band embarked upon โThe Burden of Historyโ tour of Europe to mark the release of the singles collection (1992-2007) of the same name. The EPs League of Nations (2007) and Amongst the Runes (2008) demonstrate a progression in IKONโs signature sound, providing a taster of the forthcoming album Love, Hate and Sorrow (to be released in September 2009). While retaining the essence of influences such as Joy Division, early New Order and Death in June, the future for IKON promises to add further texture to the bandโs style. Love, Hate and Sorrow embraces more melodic song structures without entirely relinquishing the shadowy threads that are interweaved in the lyrics, art work, and music of one of the worldโs most successful and enduring darkwave bands. The single "A Line on a Dark Day" from the album will also be made into the band's first video clip.

2) A UK collaborative project of Elliot Ireland and Alex Rizzo, the people behind the Jalapeno label. They utilise a wide range of guest vocalists and instrumentalists to create an interesting fusion of dnb, jazz, downtempo and triphop. They have released a self-titled album and at least 2 singles, 'The Dove' and 'Tricolour'. The album took a long time to make and was created in 7 different countries with 8 different collaborations, in languages such as Portuguese and English.
From the Jalapeno Records Website on Ikon:
"As for the Ikon sound it's tricky to categorise: bossa nova melodies seem to seep effortlessly into epic cinematic productions, which mutate into slick drum and bass rhythms."
"Musically the group cites most genres as being influential to the Ikon sound, particularly jazz, funk, soul and hip hop."
"What the hell is Ikon about? "Happy coincidences," opines co-founding member Alex Rizzo with a smile."
"Ikon is about producing lush, imaginative music and recreating sounds in an original way. Give us a keyboard a string, synth or computer- Rolf Harris's stylophone and we'll play it- the quirkier the better. If there's a sound we wanna emulate we'll try and get the original materials: like a 60s bass and a 60s mic to get the right effect."

Afterlife
Ikon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And see beyond the stars
And I'll love forever
Then fall into your arms
I'll cry forever
And flood the world apart
I'll hate forever
An omen waits for all
Some things will always be
And stand the test of time
Will you spare my soul
Or will you set me free
No man will ever know
Forever I must roam
I'll reap forever
A tale so lost in doubt
And you'll sleep forever
There will be no way out
If you cry forever
Why drown in your own sorrow
Why care forever
When there is no tomorrow
An omen waits for all
Some things will always be
And stand the test of time
Will you spare my soul
Or will you set it free
No man will ever know
Forever I must roam
To the darkest star I wake
In the evening moon I take
When I see you there
I fall beyond despair
An I'll live forever
An I'll live forever
An I'll live forever
An I'll live forever
The lyrics to Ikon's Afterlife speak to the concept of living forever, both physically and emotionally. The singer suggests that, even in death, they will continue to see beyond the stars and love forever before falling into the arms of their loved ones. They acknowledge the duality of life, expressing their willingness to both cry forever and hate forever, and potentially causing destruction in the process. The lines "An omen waits for all/Some things will always be/And stand the test of time" suggest that there are forces beyond human control that will always be present, emphasizing the fleeting nature of life.
The singer then asks the question, "Will you spare my soul/Or will you set me free/No man will ever know/Forever I must roam," highlighting their uncertainty about what will happen to them after they die. They then say they will "reap forever/A tale so lost in doubt/And you'll sleep forever/There will be no way out," suggesting that they will continue to experience a cycle of uncertainty and lostness, while those around them remain in a state of peace. The final stanza speaks to the singer's hopelessness, as they ask why bother caring forever when there is no tomorrow, yet ultimately declare "I'll live forever."
Line by Line Meaning
I'll live forever
I won't die and will exist always
And see beyond the stars
I'll have the ability to see things beyond the physical universe
And I'll love forever
I'll experience everlasting love
Then fall into your arms
I'll be with the person I love and cherish the most
I'll cry forever
I'll always feel intense emotional pain
And flood the world apart
My emotional pain will be so intense that it will affect everything around me
I'll hate forever
I'll harbor intense and unrelenting anger
And burn your wooden heart
I'll destroy the object of my hatred completely
An omen waits for all
Everyone will have signs of things to come
Some things will always be
Certain things will never change
And stand the test of time
These things will be enduring and timeless
Will you spare my soul
Can you please be merciful towards me
Or will you set me free
Or will you let me go and do what I want
No man will ever know
It's impossible to predict what the future holds
Forever I must roam
I'll have to wander endlessly
I'll reap forever
I'll always be receiving what I deserve
A tale so lost in doubt
A story that's uncertain and unknown
And you'll sleep forever
You'll never wake up or escape from your situation
There will be no way out
There won't be any escape from the situation
If you cry forever
If you're constantly experiencing emotional pain
Why drown in your own sorrow
Why choose to be overwhelmed with sadness
Why care forever
Why continue to be affected by something that won't change
When there is no tomorrow
When the future is uncertain and bleak
To the darkest star I wake
I'll wake up next to a dark and foreboding celestial body
In the evening moon I take
I'll go with the flow and follow the course of the moon's phases
When I see you there
When I see the person I'm in love with
I fall beyond despair
I'll experience feelings worse than sorrow and anguish
An I'll live forever
I won't die and will exist always
An I'll live forever
I won't die and will exist always
An I'll live forever
I won't die and will exist always
An I'll live forever
I won't die and will exist always
