It all started in Tønsberg, Norway 1989. Sverre Økshoff and Alex Møklebust started a band with the name Klisne Seigmenn having their first gig at the “Christmas rock” event (julerock) in Tønsberg, December 27, 1989 . The next year Marius Roth Christensen, Kim Ljung and Noralf Ronthi joined the band.
total was the album which caught Norway's ears. Some of the songs such as sort tulipan were very gloomy and had a gothic-like atmosphere. metropolis is their most well-known album to this date. radiowaves is the album that shows a significant change on their style. The keyboardist/programmer Eric Ljungren (who later would join Kim, Alex and Noralf in Zeromancer) is more present, and the songs are similar to New order and Depeche Mode. They split in 1999 after a farewell tour.
Møklebust, Ljung and Ronthi later formed the band Zeromancer in 2000. In addition, Kim Ljung has a solo project under the name Ljungblut.
Seigmen reunited during the UKA-festival in Trondheim, Norway on October 20, 2005, and decided to do even more reunion-gigs in Norway – 7 shows in February 2006, and played several festivals in Norway such as the Slottsfjell festival in Tønsberg.
In early 2008 it was announced that Seigmen would again play live, which they did on June 21 at the Oslo Opera House, as one of the shows celebrating the opening of the new Opera House in Oslo. Selling out the show quickly, a second concert was set up the day after.
The band resurfaced again in 2012, when they played several festivals in Norway. In July 2013, Seigmen were one of the bands to play in honor of HRH Crown Prince Haakon of Norway at his 40th anniversary.
Seigmen will once again tour Norway in 2015 to promote their upcoming album Enola, the first containing all new material since 1997. The first single from the album entitled Hva Vi Elsker was released through digital media on February 13th 2015.

In Oblivion
Seigmen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and i travel - i ride the tide
and i travel - i walk the world
and i travel - i crawl the field
and i travel - i climb the top
this bird has flown
it all ends in oblivion
how does it feel left alone?
how does it feel to be unknown?
and i travel around
and i travel alone
and i travel beneath
and i travel beyond
this bird has flown
it all ends in oblivion
it all ends
i make love
i make angels
i make room
i make it happen
i make wishes
i refuse to take your drugs again
it all ends
In Oblivion by Seigmen, the singer speaks of his travels, using various methods of transportation, and his journey through life. He talks about the feeling of being alone and unknown, but continues to travel on. The repeated phrase "this bird has flown" suggests a sense of freedom and independence, as if he is soaring above the world and its problems. However, the song takes a darker turn with the repeated refrain "it all ends in oblivion" which implies that despite his travels and experiences, everything eventually comes to an end, including life itself.
The lyrics are open to interpretation, but they may be describing a person's quest for meaning and fulfillment in life. The singer is constantly on the move, looking for something more, but it seems that in the end, it all leads to the same result. The lines "i make love, i make angels, i make room, i make it happen" may suggest that the singer is trying to create something meaningful, but the final line "i refuse to take your drugs again" suggests that he has tried to find fulfillment through substances or other means in the past.
Overall, In Oblivion is a thought-provoking and introspective song that seems to question the meaning of life and the inevitability of death.
