(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!

Violation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is a war i can't win
Torn apart form the demon in my skin
Greed and hatred
Inhabit me, control my actions
Don't want to break free
Always alone, but i'm screaming inside
Never peaceful, nowhere to hide No end in sight, forever stuck
Trapped in a void
I know i'm fucked
Pulled down
Pushed too far
Its'm coming close to the end
I see it now
No matter what i do, it's over my head
Possessed, might as well be dead
Polluted mind, paralyzed
The way i see through my eyes
Robbed of conscience
Stripped of life
Too far gone to make things right
Uphill battle, downhill fast
Corrupted ways, feed my rage
Pave my hopeless path
The lyrics to Violation's song Possessed speak to the struggles of someone who feels completely consumed by their inner demons. They feel like they are in a war they can't win, torn apart by a demon that seems to be inhabiting their very skin. It's as if they are no longer in control of their actions, instead controlled by greed and hatred. They are aware of their situation but seem resigned to it, not wanting to break free. The individual feels alone and is screaming on the inside, they find no peace anywhere and seem to have nowhere to hide. The song leaves a feeling that there is no end in sight, the individual is trapped in a void and knows that they are beyond help.
The individual is conflicted and feels like they've been pushed too far. The end of the line is coming, and they can see it now, no matter what they do, it seems to be over their head. They've been possessed, and it feels like they might as well be dead. They feel like their mind has been polluted, leaving them paralyzed and unable to make sense of what they are seeing. They've been robbed of their conscience and stripped of life. The individual knows that they are too far gone to make things right, and they are on a hopeless path that's only getting worse. The song speaks to the feeling that many people experience of being trapped in a situation where there is no way out.
