(3) Violation is a New Zealand project that The Tru Virus started up about 2001 but never really got off the ground for many years but with many ideas and riffs just floating around. I
n September 2008 Simon Bell entered the fray for a solitary jam, he liked what he heard and a few weeks later Steve and Simon "Caveman" Bell threw a whole heap of ideas together and got down 2 songs and some covers in the space of about 3 hours. During that week Simon got down some lyrics for the first song. Becca Crowe now enters the scene with the voice of a dark angel wafting through the air, intoxicating to some and damn near beheading some with raw power.
Shortly after this Simon and Steve get in contact with a very skillful, promising young lead guitarist in the form of Logan Ellis. The mindboggling sweeps, the superfast guitar work, the breathtaking skill, Logan is one of the best of his age. Just before the first practice as a full group Steve gets a phone number from a friend about a vocalist named Kieran Thomas. He came along to the first practice and had a listen to the band and got to know everyone, on the second practice he officially joined the band with his mix of raw, powerful voice and screams, he will blow you away.
In October Simon stumbles across a very dedicated, enthusiatic bassist in the form of Kelly Bowen. She met everyone and came along to her first practice and really liked what the band was doing and decided it was definitely for her, the band welcomed her with open instruments and the legacy of the full band begins... Beware.

(3) Violation was a Melodic Death Metal Band from Germany. Was founded in 1993 by Alexander Schödel (guit) and Wolfgang Dreiseitel (vox). Two years later the line-up was complete with Martin Saalfrank (bass), Claudia Reich (keys), Andreas Schmidt (drums) and Larsen Beattie (guitar). The six recorded the one and only demo tape "Carbonized" in 1996. The tape earned a lot of good critics and sold 600 copies.
In october 1997 the band travelled to Sweden, to record the debut album with Mikael Hedlund and Peter Tägtgren without a deal in hands. "Beyond The Graves" was released in February 1998 on Last Episode Records.
Soon afterwards, band and company went seperate ways. The new label was Invasion Records and Abyss Studio was booked again for August 1999. Meanwhile the line-up changed: Marcus Fiessmann replaced singer Barney, Olli Riedel replaced Larsen on the guitar and Jens Löhner became the new bass player. In the middle of 1999, due to personal problems of the management, Invasion showed no signs of life anymore, so they went to Sweden once again without a record deal.
In early 2000 a new label was found. Red Stream Records (USA) released "Moonlight´s Child", which was produced by Tommy Tägtgren, in may 2000 in Europe and America.
In 2005 the band called it quits after Alex Schödel and keyboarder Claudia Reich decided to leave the band. However, the remaining members continued on with a new project named "Hellscape".
Hellscape is about to release their debut album "Downwards" in the next weeks!

Force Fed
Violation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No way to save myself from decay
Crashing down, same old story
I can't see where this is going
It's taking all that i'm worth
Been separated from this earth
Life goes on, heard that shit before
I won't take this anymore
Growing sickness
Force fed, lie after life
Can't determine fact from fiction
The diseased control our lives
Up to my neck, buried in deceit
I wont stand and face defeat
Can't be keep quiet anymore
Grown past a battle
It's an all out war
Feeling the walls closing in
Starting to choke, the air's getting thin
This infection is spreading
The future i'm dreading
Straight to the grace
The path im heading
Can i call this a life?
So many years
No direction, no sight
I'm dead to everyone thats around me
Sick and diseased
As far as i can see
The lyrics to Violation's song Force Fed are about a person's struggle with the world around them. The singer expresses their feeling of helplessness as they realize the world is constantly changing, and they feel like they are decaying without any way to save themselves. The line "Crashing down, same old story" suggests that this is a recurring problem in their life.
The song continues with a criticism of the society we live in, where lies are force-fed to us, and we cannot determine what is true and what is not. The sick and diseased control our lives, and this causes the singer to feel buried in deceit. They refuse to stand and face defeat and are ready for an all-out war. They feel like the walls are closing in and the air is getting thin, as the infection they are talking about is spreading. They dread the future they are heading towards, and as far as they can see, they are sick and diseased.
In conclusion, Force Fed by Violation is a commentary on society's oppressive nature, which is getting harder to escape from. The singer is caught up in a world of lies, deceit, and disease, and they feel they cannot escape the hold of this world. The song calls for a rebellion against this kind of society, where people are subjected to force-fed lies and are unable to differentiate between what is real and what is not.
