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.

The Warning
Victory Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see the clouds massing
From the east to the west
The four horsemen are riding
It's too late for regrets
The power of persuasion did not work in the end
'Cos they talk with a rifle
All they want is revenge

Will the blood stop falling on the sand
On the holy land

If you listen to the warning
We have to turn the tide
Just listen to the warning
The tide is on the rise

I can see a new desert
There's no place left to hide
We will recover
We will never survive

Will the blood stop falling on the sand
On the holy land

If you listen to the warning
We have to turn the tide
Just listen to the warning
The tide is on the rise

If you listen to the warning
We have to turn the tide
Just listen to the warning
The tide is on the rise
If you listen to the warning
We have to turn the tide
Just listen to the warning
The tide is on the rise
The tide is on the rise
The tide is on the rise

The tide is on the rise
The tide is on the rise

Overall Meaning

The song The Warning by Victory seems to be a commentary on the political and social instability in the world at the time of its release. The lyrics describe a sense of impending doom as the singer sees the four horsemen of the apocalypse riding in, and it's too late for regrets. The power of persuasion has failed and all they want now is revenge. The lyrics also allude to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East with lines like "will the blood stop falling on the sand" and "on the holy land." It seems that the singer is calling for action, urging listeners to "listen to the warning" and to "turn the tide." They seem to be saying that if we act now, we might be able to prevent the worst from happening.

Overall, the lyrics of The Warning by Victory are both bleak and hopeful. On the one hand, they describe a world on the brink of destruction. However, they also suggest that we can still make a difference if we act now. It's a message that's particularly relevant today as we continue to grapple with many of the same issues that were present when the song was first released.

Line by Line Meaning

I can see the clouds massing
I can see a gathering storm approaching

From the east to the west
The storm stretches from one horizon to the other

The four horsemen are riding
A sign of the apocalypse is upon us

It's too late for regrets
We cannot change the past, only act in the present

The power of persuasion did not work in the end
Diplomacy was ineffective

'Cos they talk with a rifle
Violence is the only language understood

All they want is revenge
Their motives are driven by vengeance and anger

Will the blood stop falling on the sand
Will the violence and death of war ever end?

On the holy land
In a place that holds significant religious and cultural importance

If you listen to the warning
Pay attention to the signs of danger and act accordingly

We have to turn the tide
We must change the course of events
