After 3 releases in North America, "Where Broken Angels Lie", "Forward" and "Conflict", The Azoic grabbed the attention of the German label, Infacted Recordings. On February 2, 2004, The Azoic debuted in Europe with their release, 'Forward + Conflict', which sold out in 6 months! They quickly made a mark and moved up to the no. 4 spot on the DAC [German Alternative Charts] and no. 2 on the DUC [Dutch Alternative Charts]. In 2004, The Azoic released their fourth full-length CD, 'Illuminate' and continued to polish their trademark style, even adding a cover of "Obsession", the 80's Animotion classic, with guest vocalist Frank Spinath of Seabound.
After a video game release (featuring "Conflict (Turmoil Mix)" on Microsoft XBox's 'Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 3' alongside vocal appearances featuring Kristy and several shows across the US and Europe, The Azoic continued to ascend. With 5 full-length releases, 2 EP's, 2 tours and over 50 shows, RMP chartings [US], 4 on the DAC charts + bullet on Native25 [Germany], 2 on the DUC charts [Netherlands], several magazine and webzine interviews (such as Zillo, Sonic Seducer, Side-Line, DNA Six, Industrial Nation, Gothic Beauty), a video, and appearances on numerous compilations, both nationally and internationally, The Azoic continued at the forefront of their genre.
The Azoic went on hiatus in 2006 after the departure of keyboardist Steve Laskarides; singer Kristy Venrick has since reformed the band with new keyboardist Eric E. and drummer, guitarist and keyboardist Andreas K. 2008 brought the release of 'Re:Illumination [the mixes]. 2012 will bring the band's new Corruption - EP as well as the Corruption music video funded by the fans via kickstarter.

Evolution
The Azoic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe there's a reason why?
A place we should only see in our dreams
If we knew we would all want to die
We're in a place
Where our bodies are used
A place that's cyber
Reality is a hoax, it's all a dream
Our minds into something we can't believe
We need to be liberated from the truth
Our minds set free and retrieved
We are always believing
That what we see is real
An elaborate deception
Spun by our own creation
We're in a place where we can't escape
A place that we built
With our own technology
We need to take control
From these things that suppress us
And fight, and fight
The machines that want to control us
In "Evolution" by The Azoic, the lyrics reflect a sense of unease about the state of the world and the idea that there may be more to reality than what we can see. The singer suggests that perhaps there is a reason why things aren't always as they seem and that there may be a place that exists outside of our current understanding. However, the idea of this place is so terrifying that the singer believes that if we knew about it, we would all want to die.
The song reflects a distrust of technology and the idea that it has become a means of control rather than a tool for our own liberation. The world we live in is described as cyber, a place where our bodies are used and abused. The singer suggests that reality is a hoax, and that our minds have been manipulated into believing something that is not true. The song encourages the listener to take control and fight against the machines that want to control us.
Overall, "Evolution" is a reflection on the state of society and the need for us to be conscious of the forces that shape our reality. It is a call to action, urging us to take control of our lives and break free from the constraints that have been placed on us.
