CLASSIC ROCK BROUGHT TO LIFE
Despite their mixed backgrounds, the members of the Norwegian band Rebolt came together for one single reason: The love for old fashioned heavy metal and hard rock!
Their songs are a humble batch of rock’n’roll which has got both soul and playfulness written all over it. In short, it is an honest attempt to make the audience dig up their air guitars and put their pedals to the metal (although rather not at the same time!). It was the guitar riffs and solos, the big choruses and the unpretentious joy of bands such as AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, Iron Maiden or a modern band like Danko Jones. which lead to the foundation of Rebolt during the winter of 2004.
Rebolt was founded on the basic idea that it was possible to be serious about music without trying to «save» rock by attempting to be knights in shining armour. The musical background of the four members would usually imply that they were poles apart, but their diverse individual credentials from jazz, rock and funk among other genres, have in fact proved to be their greatest strength. Other encouraging acts include Rose Tattoo, The Cult, AC/DC, Black Label Society, Iron Maiden, Metalllica and Danzig. Rebolt's energetic and charismatic singer Frode is in the centre of the stage, claiming the attention of the audience right from the first note to the final riff. This is a rock singer who can smile and look people in the eye all at once, and still sing as if his lungs were bleeding. This get-up-and-go attitude both on record and on stage has lead to support jobs for internationally recognized Norwegian bands such as Ralph Myerz & The Jack Herren Band, El Caco and Span, as well as swedish metallers Mustasch.
During the years since Rebolt’s formation, the quartet has managed to earn a small but devoted international fan base as well as a name for themselves on the local live circuit in Norway. The reasons for their achievements are as simple as the ideas that were evident when they first met: To play extremely tight rock’n’roll and engage their audience while bringing their joy of music to a full view. From August 2007 to October 2008 the band were on hiatus, awaiting the recovery of drummer Kristian who was suffered serious problems with his hearing. In October 2008 the band recruited a new drummer, Magnus and are now on a new roll.
Rebolt were featured on the cover-cd of Classic Rock Magazine in October 2008 with their song “Bad Boy (For You)”, alongside some of their own heroes: Rose Tattoo (which “Bad Boy..” is a tribute to), Airbourne, Saxon and bands like The Donnas and Krokus. In February 2009 the band played at club:Larm in Oslo and impressed both new and old fans with their obvious love of playing music in front of an audience.
Bring your air guitar out of the closet and enjoy, dude!

Rebolt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know I lost it all
You're my generator
No doubt I paid the cost
When they said I was lost
You're my generator
Oh oh
My my generator
Oh oh
My my generator
Searching stone for stone
I was all alone
You're my generator
Behind that golden gate
There was so much at stake
You're my generator
My Generator
Oh oh
My my generator
Oh oh
My my generator
Did it cross your mind
You were not inclined
To be my generator
It's not a waste of time
I could be committing a crime
You're my generator
My Generator
Oh oh

Oh oh
My my generator
In Rebolt's song "My Generator," the lyrics describe a fallen, lost individual who has potentially hit rock bottom. The line, "It was a ten feet fall. You know I lost it all," suggests that the person has experienced a substantial fall, both physically and metaphorically. Then, in the chorus, the person sings about their "generator" - the person who helps them power through and keep going. Despite feeling alone and like there is so much at stake behind a "golden gate," the generator gives the person energy, hope, and purpose to keep pushing forward.
The second verse suggests that perhaps the generator may not have felt inclined to help the person or may have felt like it was a waste of time. However, regardless of any potential doubts, the person still sees the generator as a crucial part of their life. The repetition of "my generator" emphasizes how meaningful and vital the generator is to the person. Overall, the lyrics of "My Generator" convey a crucial message about the importance of surrounding ourselves with people who motivate and inspire us to keep going, even during our darkest times.

It was a ten feet fall
I fell from a height of ten feet
You know I lost it all
As a result of the fall, I lost everything I had
You're my generator
You give me the energy and motivation to keep going
No doubt I paid the cost
I had to face the consequences of my actions
When they said I was lost
People were saying that I had lost my way
Searching stone for stone
I was looking for a solution in every possible place
I was all alone
I was going through this tough situation by myself
Behind that golden gate
There was something valuable that I wanted to attain
There was so much at stake
It was a risky situation with a lot to lose
Did it cross your mind
Have you ever thought about it
You were not inclined
You weren't interested in helping me
To be my generator
