1. Skymning was formed in late 1996 by Kim (R.I.P.) - vocals, Johannes - guitar, Christian - guitar, Sebastian - bass and Ola - Drums. In 1997 Christian left the band and Robert replaced him. They went to Los Angered Recordings and recorded a demotape called "At the fields of Megiddo" with producer Andy LaRoque (King Diamond) in early 1998 and signed a record deal with Invasion Records (Germany) and went back to Los Angered to record their debut album "Stormchoirs" in december that same year. "Stormchoirs" was released January 1999 in Europe and Japan. After that Kim left the band and Robert took the mic aswell. Later that year Invasion Records collapsed and Skymning stood without a label with a new album to record. So they went back to Los Angered and recorded a demo named "Demo-99" to sent to some labels. It was not released. Things did not work out the way they planned and Sebastian left the band.
After a break they started working on a new album heading in a different direction towards a more industrial sound. They signed with Blackend Records (UK) and Ola's brother Stefan (ex. Inverted, Immersed in Blood") joined on the bass. They went to StudioMega and producer Chistian Silver in autumn 2001 and recorded "Artificial Supernova" which was released in beginning of 2002. In summer 2003 they went back to StudioMega and recorded their third album called "Machina Genova" but it was not released until April 2004. In the beginnng of 2005 Erik Ljungkvist (ex. Arise) joined Skymning as a vocalist. The band has been inactive since summer 2005.

Just Another
Skymning Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fooled by the words of reality
He couldn't overcome his fear
A man who couldn't handle the truth
But instead became insane
He couldn't see what meaning there was
To slave for others
So he could serve the immortality
One after one they fell for him as the
Knife got painted so shiny red
He had to kill to satisfy those in his head
And break out from the
Prison in their hell
He's just another who had to bet his
Soul to the burning eternity
Just another, just another - just another!
Just another, just another - just another!
The steel he's carrying in his hand
Which so many lives has taken
But who can blame him for what he's done
When mankind just shuts her eyes
Who wants to see a man go down
Who wants to look into his eyes
His soul is gone and his heart is petrified
When the pain caught his body and
He watched himself in the mirror
He got the courage to grab the knife
And take his own hated life
The voices are forever gone
His name people now take seriously
He's just another - he's just a serial killer
Just another, just another, just another - just another!
Just another, just another, just another - just another!
The song "Just Another" by Skymning tells the story of a man who becomes a serial killer due to his inability to handle reality and his need for immortality. The lyrics suggest that this man was driven to madness because he couldn't find any meaning in working for others, and therefore had to kill the impure in order to satisfy his own personal desires. He is portrayed as someone who has lost his soul, and whose heart is petrified.
The song is a commentary on reality and the human condition, highlighting the tendency for people to seek out extreme reactions and behaviors when they feel they have no other choices in life. It touches on subjects like desperation, power, and what people are willing to do to find their own place in the world. The lyrics suggest that this man's actions were a result of societal pressures and a need for immortality, rather than something innate within him.
Overall, "Just Another" is a haunting, insightful commentary on human nature and the lengths to which some will go in order to find meaning and purpose in life.
