Through the years TOXOCARA played with members like;
Michiel van der Plicht (God Dethroned, Prostitute Disfigurement, ex- Katafalk)
Anne van Doorn (ex - Murder Manifest)
Kevin Quilligan (Erebus)
Sanne van Dijk (Erebus)
Petra Guijt (Deadcell, ex - 11th Hour)
In September 2004 TOXOCARA hit the studio for their promo entitled "Visceral Larval Migrans". This promo contains all TOXOCARA stands for; hyperfast parts alternate with slower parts, additional sampling and dual vocal attacks.
In August 2005 the debut album "Imminent Repulsion (Suffice to Prevent)" was born. This album contains 10 brutal Death Metal songs, elaborating on where Toxocara started, but more intense, hysterical and varied! In the meantime Toxocara did some impressive shows like the London Deathfest and Noordschok (NL) and shared the stage with bands like Krisiun, Master and Pungent Stench.
In January 2008 the second full length “ The Great Rebellious” appeared. Where “Imminent Repulsion” stopped, “The Great Rebellious” took over. More oiled then ever Toxocara puts its energy in the 8 tracks counting album, full with intense Death Metal. The album is well received in the world with very good reviews. More international gigs followed.
The year 2009 TOXOCARA starts with a new line up as mentioned above. Guitarist Martijn Moes continues the struggle and the first new live shows are a fact. 2010 will be the year of a new TOXOCARA album. A new TOXOCARA, with a new sound!
INSOMNIA
Toxocara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sadistic nature, destined to rise
Born torturous, human unworthy
Face consequence, death's what it shall be
Cowards and scaredy-cats
Foundation of ruin
Feeble excuses, loss of morality
Driven by fear, to fade away
Soldiers of honour
No target too high
Defeat is the answer
Enemies only die!
As darkness arrives, Insomnia sneaks in
Cowards awake, await slaughtering
Fear, anger, no defeat
Death
Fear, anger, no defeat
Death's who we will face
No mercy is our mercenary
We'll end this human race!
Pollution of life, perpetual demise
Born torturous
Fear, anger no defeat
Human unworthy
Sadistic nature, destined to rise
Face consequence
Death's who we will face
The lyrics to Toxocara's song Insomnia symbolize a dystopian and chaotic future of our world. The opening verse speaks of the pollution of life and perpetual demise, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the disintegration of human values and morality. The sadistic nature that is destined to rise could reflect the aggression and violence that characterize our society. The chorus speaks of cowardice and fear as the foundation of our ruin. People are becoming more and more weak and indecisive, leading to a loss of morality and ultimately destructive consequences.
The second verse describes the two contrasting types of people in this society. There are cowards and scaredy-cats who are bound to fade away, their fear driving them towards certain death. On the other hand, there are soldiers of honor, who are not afraid to face any challenge and even in the face of defeat, they will not back down. The song's darker turn comes when the fear and anger of such brave soldiers inevitably lead to a bloody confrontation, with no hope of a peaceful resolution.
Overall, the song's lyrics paint a bleak picture of our future, one where there is little hope for redemption. It is a warning of the dangers of apathy and cowardice, and a call to face our fears with bravery and resolution.
