Forming of the band and first two albums:
Rebellion is a Heavy Metal band from Germany. It was formed in 2001 by ex-Grave Digger members Uwe Lulis (guitar) and Tomi Göttlich (bass).
Their first album - A Tragedy In Steel - Shakespeare's Macbeth - is a concept album about William Shakespeare's work Macbeth and includes spoken passages. Spoken passages and narrations are done by members of the band and other collaborators as the story's characters.
The second album called Born A Rebel involved more standard heavy-metal lyrics – about motorcycles, metal, war, etc. – and the music was somewhat rougher.
Viking Trilogy:
In 2005 they released the first part of a trilogy about the Vikings and Norse mythology. First part is called 'Sagas Of Iceland'. As title suggests, lyrics are about viking sagas.
The second part 'Miklagard' is out in 2007. Speed, powerful and heavy guitar riffs repleaced middle tempo songs of the previous album. Lyricalwise, album is about pack of vikings who left their homeland, Sweden, to travel to Miklagard. Every song talks about another adventure they took along the way.
Third and final album - "Arise: From Ginnugagap To Ragnarök" - came out in 2009. Musicaly it's rougher and heavier than the previous two. Lyrics are about Norse mythology, from conception of the world (Ginnugagap) to its final battle (Ragnarök) and finally, its destruction.
Changes in the band:
Uwe Lulis, Simone Wenzel and Gerd Lücking all left the band in late 2010. Michael Seifert and Tomi Göttlich were the only remaining members at the time. In 2011 new line-up was forming. The first new member who joined them was Oliver Geibig on guitar. Oliver worked with the band before - he produced their second album. Later on Stephan Karut joined the band on guitar and David Faifer on drums. David soon left the band because he lived too far from the band and Matthias Karle took his spot. With that final change new strong line-up was formed and soon they entered the studio to record a new album.
Arminius:
The sixth studio album titled Arminius: Furor Teutonicus, with new line-up, was released on October 26th, 2012. Arminius is another conceptual piece and this time, as album title says, album is based on Arminius. Arminius was a chieftain of the Germanic Cherusci who defeated a Roman army in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest.

INTRODUCTION
Rebellion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At the beginning of the play, we look upon Macbeth as a shining hero. On behalf of his king, Duncan, he has just defeated the traitor Macdonwald, quelling high treason and subversion, safeguarding the rule of the king, so Scotland can look forward to a new era of peace. On their way from the battlefield the commanders Macbeth and Banquo meet three witches, who foretell the warriors promising prophecies: To Macbeth they predict the Thanehood of Glamis and of Cawdor - and eventually even the crown of Scotland, to Banquo, oil the other hand, that he would be father of a line of Kings.
Macbeth is already the Thane of Glamis, and out of gratitude the king soon bestows the Thanehood of Cawdor upon him. So the fulfilment of the last prediction seems to be close at hand. Only King Duncan himself stands in the way of Macbcth's aroused ambitions. It seems like a stroke of fate when the grateful king arrives as a guest at the castle of the Thane of Glamis and Cawdor to express his profound gratitude to this outstanding warrior. Unlike Macbeth, who feels covetous but hesitant, his wife is prepared to act. She spurs on her husband, encouraging him to seize this supposed opportunity of fate like a man. Macbeth stabs the defenceless king in his sleep, and with the help of his wife he succeeds in casting suspicion upon the king's guards. Rut while the majority of the Scottish noblemen do not dare to question his story, Malcolm, the king's son, escapes to England with a number of faithful followers. Among them is Macduff, next to Macbeth one of Scotland's most influential Thanes.
Macbeth, the king's murderer, is crowned King of Scotland soon afterwards but the fruits from his deed taste sour. Macbeth can neither enjoy his status nor his power as the ruling king for even a single moment. Worry and anxiety are casting dark shadows on his life. .After all, as the witches have predicted, Banquo would be the forefathers of a new line of kings - for the childless Macbeth a source of constant threat and fear. Before long, he hires assassins to kill Banquo, the supposed father of kings and only other person who knows about the witches' prophecies. But the admonishing ghost of the murdered Banquo appears in front of Macbeth's eyes at a banquet. From this point on, it becomes apparent to what extent Macbeth has already succumbed to madness and is being pursued by the ghosts of his murdered victims.
Again Macbeth seeks out the witches to ask them about his future. They assure him that no man of woman born would ever be a threat for him, yet Macbeth should beware of Macduff, whom he can only conquer through violence.
Macbeth feels encouraged by the witches' predictions and sets about "clearing up" among his supposed enemies. In his growing madness, he turns from a murderer into a tyrant, and the whole country moans and suffers under the strokes of his raging terror. Macduff, the Thane of Fife, is still in England, and since the tyrant is unable to get hold of him he resolves to destroy the castle of the alleged traitor, giving his wife, children and servants to the sword.
But while Macbeth seeks safety in destruction and bloodshed, his lady's strength of mind begins to falter; walking in her sleep, she constantly tries to wash invisible blood from her hands - the blood of the murdered King Duncan. Lady Macbeth dies finally as a victim of her own madness, of her feelings of guilt. The tyrant himself suffers from increasing madness and deep depressions so much so that he can hardly mourn the death of his wife. He begins to realise that all his efforts and killings will neither bring him happiness nor satisfaction. Yet, on the strength of the witches' predictions, he still believes himself deceptively safe, drawing from them the strength to prepare for the impending battle. Under the leadership of Duncan's son Malcolm and Macduff, the English and many Scots have united and arc marching on Macbeth's seat, Dunsinane, with a powerful army. Faced with these superior troops the tyrant's men flee from him, until he finally finds himself alone. Still being convinced of his own invincibility Macbeth awaits the onslaught of the enemy troops. Caught in a deadly combat with Macduff, Macbeth finds out that his opponent was cut from his mother's womb and was therefore not born by a woman. Only then he realises that he has fallen victim to the witches' prank. Realising the full extent of his delusion, he comes to his senses and understands that his own death is imminent. Yet he does not attempt to flee but faces the battle with Macduff and is finally slain.
Let the Story begin...
(Narrator:)
As we know man does not walk the earth alone
but is surrounded by strange creatures and spirits.
Some of these may sometimes try to lure man into their own influence...
for their own entertainment...
and to steal away the most precious gem dwelling in each of us... our soul.
Man may choose the path he follows, but its direction may at times:
not be what it seems...
This tale is about one of the most valiant heroes that ever walked the Scottish soil.
It tells his glorious deeds, his hopes, his ambitions, his rise...
and his fall... yet it does not start with its protagonist... rather with its demons...
(First Witch:) When shall we three meet again, in thunder lightning or in rain
(Second Witch:) When the Hurlyburly 's done, when the battles lost and won
(Third witch:) That will be ere the set of sun
(First Witch:) Where the place?
(Second Witch:) Upon the heath.
(Third Witch:) There to meet with Macbeth
The beginning of the song "Introduction" by Rebellion sets the stage for a retelling of the story of Macbeth. The lyrics describe the presence of spiritual beings, who may try to influence humans for their own entertainment and to steal their souls. The narrative then shifts to the three witches who meet on a heath and prophesy to Macbeth. These witches play a pivotal role in Macbeth's eventual downfall as they manipulate and deceive him with their predictions. The song sets a foreboding tone, foreshadowing the tragic end of the singer's journey.
The lyrics of "Introduction" serve as a prelude to the story of Macbeth, written by William Shakespeare in the early 17th century. The play tells the story of a Scottish nobleman who becomes consumed by ambition after being foretold by the prophetic witches that he will become king. Throughout the play, Macbeth engages in murder and treachery to maintain his power, leading to his eventual downfall.

I believe Camus might have caught himself not in "philosophical suicide" but in some sort of "philosophical immaculate conception", which is the birth or creation of Sisyhus' smile of contentment.
He says life is absurd because we can't match our desire for meaning and the "silence" of the universe. Nothing really wrong with the premise i would say, but why is it "philosophical suicide" to reach Faith as a viable answer/option? Even if it's by process of elimination or as a last resort. Faith IS a valid rational conclusion. If there is no meaning accessible for us than "Faith" on some meaning is still an "answer" and, in my view, a philosophically alive one.
Then there is the issue with Sisyphus' contentment. Why can he "create" meaning in a myth? How can he "believe" in Sisyphus' inner peace or joy? Does he chose to believe it? Like Kierkegaard did with Religion?
And isn't he at the last minute negating the absurdist premise by difusing Sisyphus quest and thirst for meaning? Why or how can Sisyphus stop desiring meaning? By realising and confronting life's absurdity? If that is the case and that confrontation kills the frustration of the human condition regarding meaning, than that means life is NOT absurd. It can't be, because there is no longer the desire for meaning conflicting with it's absence. It is not absurd. A meaningless universe with creatures that don't need it is not absurd, just as it is not absurd for the universe to not have water and creatures that don't drink or are ever thirsty.
Is Camus an Existentialist?
What do you guys think of this?

"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend."
My favorite Camus quote.
The Absolute
I'm pretty sure Camus never said that

If Camus said it first this is not a misattribution.

I bet he's the kind of guy whom if criticized for being absurd, smiles victoriously.

Perhaps he wouldn't smile but cry.

One would imagine Camus happy
