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.

Rebellion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Macduff
Who are you
Once you were loyal
Once you were true
Run to England
To stand against me
I will slay, your family
(2)
How can I be loyal
To a murderer that stole the crown
How can I be loyal
To a tvrant
That takes my country down
(Ref:)
We'll take revenge for all the lives you stole -
Macbeth
The sins you did in the end you'll fall -
Macbeth
We'll take revenge and put you down, in the
end we'll seize the crown
I'll take revenge for all the lives you stole -
Macbeth
(3)
Macduff
Look and see
Here are the bloody corpses
of your family
Burried dead
In a nameless grave
My lust for blood
Will make me safe
(4)
I've cried a thousand tears
In the shadows of the lonely night
As the tears run dry
You tyrant
I know that I must fight
(Gentlewoman:) Lo you, here she comes. This is her very guise, and, upon my life, fast asleep. Observe her. Stand close.
(Doctor:) You see her eyes are open.
(Gentlewoman:) Ay, but their sense are shut.
(Doctor:) What is it she does now? Look how she rubs her hands.
(Gentlewoman:) It is an accustomed action with her, to seem thus washing her hands. I have known her continue in this a quarter of an hour.
(Lady Macbeth:) Yet here's a spot. Out, damned spot; out, I say. Hell is murky. Fie, my lord, fie, a soldier and afeard? What need we fear who knows it when none can call our power to account? Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him? ... Macduff the Thane of Fife had a wife. Where is she now? What, will these hands ne'er be clean? No more o' that, my lord, no more o' that. No more
(Doctor:) What a sigh is there! The heart is sorely charged.
(Gentlewoman:) I would not have such a heart in my bosom for the dignity of the whole body.
(Lady Macbeth:) Wash your hands, put on your nightgown, look not so pale. I tell you yet again, Banquo's buried. He cannot come out on 's grave. To bed, to bed. There's a knocking at the gate. Come, give me your hand. What's done cannot be undone. To bed, to bed, to bed.
Rebellion's song Revenge is a retelling of Shakespeare's play Macbeth. In the lyrics, Macduff, a loyal and true subject who turned against Macbeth after the latter became a murderous tyrant, is seeking revenge for the lives that the king had unjustly taken. Macbeth warns Macduff that he will burn his castle and slay his family, but Macduff remains steadfast in his resolve, stating that he cannot be loyal to a murderer who stole the crown and took the country down. In the end, Macduff finds the bloody corpses of his family and vows to seek revenge.
The lyrics also incorporate lines from Lady Macbeth's famous sleepwalking scene, in which she is consumed by guilt and hallucinates that she is trying to wash the blood of the people she and her husband have killed off her hands. Rebellion's use of Lady Macbeth's lines to accentuate the theme of revenge is a clever tactic as her madness represents the darkest consequences of Macbeth's actions.
The song is a powerful tribute to Shakespeare's classic play and highlights its relevance even today. The lyrics remind us of the destructive nature of power, the dangers of greed, and the ultimate need for justice. It is a poignant portrayal of the consequences of immoral and unethical decisions taken by those in power that ultimately lead to their downfall.
