1. A band from Hanover, Germany.
2. An experimental artist from Detroit, Michigan.
3. A hardcore band from New Hampshire.
4. An alias of Robert Fleming, a multi-instrumentalist based in Los Angeles, California.
5. A band from Minneapolis.
6. An inactive solo project of Oliver Francis, a rapper-producer based in Columbia, Missouri.
1. Victory was formed in Hanover, Germany in 1984 from the remnants of the band Fargo. Apart from bass player Peter Knorn, there were two guitarists, Tommy Newton and John Lockton, as well as drummer Bernie Van of Graaf forming the group. After they originally worked with singer Pedro Schemm - after a small interlude with the later Thunderhead shouter Ted Pullit - the singer Charlie Huhn joined, who had formerly played with Gary Moore and Ted Nugent. By recommendation of Scorpions guitarist Rudolph Schenker the band was guided by David Krebs' (of Scorpions and Aerosmith fame ) management.
2. Victory’s music is a fusion between Soul music and Folk Music. She was raised in Detroit before moving to New Jersey at age twelve. Whether Victory is performing classics or original compositions, she has a way of tailoring each song with her voice and guitar to fit her unique style. Some people say that Victory is in the lane of Tracy Chapman, Roberta Flack, and Nina Simone. But beyond those three, Victory brings an entirely new youthful element to the music world, an indescribable spiritual depth mixed with her youthful interpretation of sound influencing her artistic expressions. Moreover, Victory colors a lot of her musical arrangements with rich jazz chords as she is rooted and grounded in Jazz tradition.
3. Victory is a hardcore band from southern New Hampshire. They were formed in 2005 and played together for two years. They recorded a demo of 2 songs with most notable song being "breaker". They got a big fan base following and played shows in the boston area as well as the local new hampshire venues. They later went onto record a 5 song ep. Right after being recorded the band broke up.
4. Victory is the music project of Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist Robert Fleming who produces new songs that are at once fresh, familiar and focused. ‘Demonstrations’ was the first offering from Victory, a 7-song EP self-released in September 2011 and his first full length is set to see the light in April 23rd, 2013. Victory crafts a sound that is both a throw-back to psychedelic 60′s British rock as well as an homage to today’s thriving independent music scene.
5. Victory hail from Minneapolis and are formed from ex-members of Eightysixed, Pist & Broke, Subversives and The Virgin Whores. The collective experience of the members fit together well and gives off a chemistry that reflects in the tightness of Victory’s sound. Victory delivers straight up American Oi! like a steel toe to the face. Victory’s hard edged sound is fueled by lyrics based on the experiences of afghan war veteran and front man Dan and the bands struggles with being working class in a crumbling economy. Very promising debut EP ''Laced Up'' contains four juicy street punk tracks and there’s no dead weight.
6. Victory is the now-inactive alias of Missouri-based rapper-producer Oliver Francis. Though self-described as a 'band,' it was a solo project in reality. Under the moniker, he released one full-length project titled 'I Don't Want This Anymore', before moving on to other musical endeavors.
Enemy
Victory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess he did them all
A devil's lair
The writings on the wall
His body aches
It screams and yells through the night
Taking his soul
And tears his heart out
Silent and quiet
Suddenly violently strong
His demon grows
Like the enemy
He can't fight himself no more
It's the vampire feast
His addiction turned man into beast
The endless nights
He tried to fight the need
A heavy trip
He finds his sweet sanctuary
An empty room
Closing in, he can't breathe
Silent and quiet
Suddenly violently strong
This demon grows
Like the enemy
He can't fight himself no more
It's the vampire feast
His addiction turned man into beast
Like the enemy
He can't fight himself no more
It's the vampire feast
His addiction turned man into beast
Man into beast
Like the enemy
He can't fight himself no more
No more
Like the enemy
He can't fight himself no more
It's the vampire feast
His addiction turned man into beast
The lyrics to Victory's song "Enemy" touch upon the theme of addiction, specifically drug addiction. The opening lines suggest that the singer has committed all seven sins and their body is in agony. They are a slave to their addiction, and it is tearing them apart. The lyrics reference the "devil's lair," which suggests that the singer is aware of the severity of their situation but is unable to escape.
As the song progresses, the addiction is likened to a demon that is growing stronger and stronger within the singer. The line "It's the vampire feast, his addiction turned man into beast" suggests that the addiction is taking over and turning the singer into something they no longer recognize. The emptiness that the singer feels is palpable, and they are suffocating in a loveless, desolate place.
The chorus repeats the line "Like the enemy, he can't fight himself no more, it's the vampire feast. His addiction turned man into beast" which further emphasizes the loss of control the singer is experiencing. The addiction has taken over, and the singer is powerless. The final line of the song "No more" suggests that the singer has given up the fight and is succumbing to their addiction.

I just started fully blown arguments and fights.
Everyone has a point... except for those of You who support nationalsocialism...
The guy overthere that said "they were figthing for thier people"; You are somewhat right... Many joined the Whermacht thinking that they were figthing for thier people.
The other guy who told me to put My heart on the line when I question the hearts of other; You are certainly right; lad, I'll add that to my list of values.
And so on.
Some of You all gave me a bit of a new perspective. Thank You.
My original point still stands: those where young boys, barely teenagers. As with so ofthen is the case... Teens just don't think about politics much.

The art work is epic and inspiring. The soldiers look so confident, so manly.
Sadly, these Germans were mostly young men who fought for a cause they didn't even fully understand and ultimately succumbed to the pain of war.

Ivan Ivanoff Don't waste your time with these modernite pacifists. They do not have an iota of the spirit required to understand your wise words, son of Atlas.
