Shortly after Aggreash had recorded his first demo "Beyond The Frontiers Of Mortality" the project took off explosively in the underground, where it found a lot of followers. Several songs immediately reached the metal charts of mp3.de - Germany's most important mp3/newcomer-surface - with the song "Beyond The Frontiers Of Mortality" climbing up to the top of these charts. Early 2004, the extensive search for competent and reliable musicians with the same musical goals ended with Mathar (drums) and Insorior (guitar) joining the band.
After intensive rehearsals, in summer 2004, they made their successful live performance debut, together with the gothic-metal band Lacrimas Profundere, in the popular Schwimmbad-Musik-Club in Heidelberg. Eventually, Lyfthrasyr started to import the complex keyboard-arrangements into their live performance, so Aggreash could concentrate on his role as singer and bass player on stage. This decision proved right, based on the positive feedback from their dedicated fans and an ever growing fan base.
The enormous success and audience acceptance of the following concerts led to Lyfthrasyr's decision to release a full-length album. Aggreash and Insorior recorded and produced "The Final Resurrection" in early 2005, which was perfected with the professional mastering of Mika Jussila at the Finnvox Studios in Helsinki. Lyfthrasyr's hard work in their studio, their dedication and the decision to have Mika Jussila master their debut album has payed out. "The Final Resurrection" is equipped with an electrifying and aggressive, but nevertheless melodic and atmospheric sound, that reflects Lyfthrasyr's unique style, while a new dimension is added to the band's sound.
After the production of their debut album, Lyfthrasyr attracted the attention of various music magazines and record labels, including the German Metal Hammer, Sonic Seducer or twilight-distribution, which lead to an exclusive label- and distribution-contract with twilight. August 8th 2005 "The Final Resurrection" was released and is now available worldwide. Lyfthrasyr is now looking forward to promote their new album in their up-coming concerts and a tour is planned in the near future. While already working on new songs for the next album, their are ready to bring their music to the masses.

Bloodlust
Lyfthrasyr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is going on to decide on my mind
I cannot stand the temptation to kill
Carving up a human throat
Stunning horror at my cold-bloodedness
Retreats the fear from my victim's face
Death wants to take his eternall toll
The blood on my hands
Where is the sense
I don't know the reason
But have to go on
I'm caught in my world
Voices tell me to hurt
I don't know the reason
But have to go on, I'm on bloodlust
I'm living on like there's no tomorrow
Left society a long time ago
My way of life has never been recognized
They never wanted me to be myself
But now I know what has to be done
My fate is clear, I'm the chosen one
By breaking out from my destination
I realized that my life can be changed
The song "Bloodlust" by Lyfthrasyr is a chilling depiction of a psychopathic killer who revels in the act of murder. The first couplet, "The depravity of my soul / Is going on to decide on my mind," suggests that the killer's inner demons are starting to take control of him, and he can't resist the temptation to kill any longer. The lines that follow talk about how he enjoys carving up a human throat and how the victim's horror and fear only adds to his satisfaction. The chorus talks about the blood on his hands and how he doesn't know why he has to keep killing, but he does.
The second verse talks about how the killer has left society behind and is living his life as he wants to. He feels like he has never been recognized by society and they never wanted him to be himself. However, he has now realized what he needs to do, and he knows that he is the chosen one who has to carry out his destiny. He has broken free from his supposed destination and knows he can change his life if he wants to.
Overall, "Bloodlust" is a song that delves into the dark, twisted mindset of a serial killer, and the lyrics clearly depict his enjoyment of the act of murder.
Line by Line Meaning
The depravity of my soul
My soul is deeply immoral and corrupted
Is going on to decide on my mind
It is influencing and controlling my thoughts
I cannot stand the temptation to kill
I am unable to resist the strong urge to murder
Carving up a human throat
Committing the act of slitting someone's throat
Stunning horror at my cold-bloodedness
Feeling shocked and frightened by my unemotional and brutal actions
Retreats the fear from my victim's face
The fear on my victim's face lessens
Death wants to take his eternall toll
Death is inevitable and it is what ultimately happens to each and every one of us
I'm satisfied, for this time
I feel content and pleased with my actions for now
The blood on my hands
The physical evidence and guilt of my violent actions
Where is the sense
What is the logic or justification for my behavior?
I don't know the reason
I am unable to rationalize or explain why I do what I do
But have to go on
However, I feel compelled to continue my violent behavior
I'm caught in my world
I am trapped in my own twisted and violent reality
Voices tell me to hurt
I hear voices urging me to cause harm to others
But have to go on, I'm on bloodlust
Despite not understanding why, I feel driven to continue my murderous ways
I'm living on like there's no tomorrow
I am living recklessly and without regard for the future
Left society a long time ago
I have separated myself from society and its rules
My way of life has never been recognized
My violent and abnormal behavior has never been accepted or understood by others
They never wanted me to be myself
Society has never accepted or allowed me to express my true, violent self
But now I know what has to be done
I have come to a realization about what I need to do
My fate is clear, I'm the chosen one
I believe that my destiny is to continue my violent and murderous lifestyle
By breaking out from my destination
By ignoring the expectations and rules set for me by society
I realized that my life can be changed
I have come to the realization that I have the power to change my life and behavior, but choose not to
