Atrox is an avant-garde metal band from Trondheim, Norway. The group originally formed under the name "Suffocation" but soon changed it because of numerous other bands with the same name. Formed in 1988, the band released its first material only in 1997, and followed it with two releases on notable French metal label, Season of Mist. While their early releases are firmly rooted in death metal, later releases incorporate more progressive elements.

Lying here in this flower meadow
Feeling free
Hovering on a cloud
Worries vanished
Looking down on
These people
Do they deserve
This grief
All those people
Gathered arround me
Looking down on me
With dismaling faces
Why expose them to this hurt
This is not the solution-
wake me........
Longing immensely for something
My life seeems unfullfilled
Secrets I camt reveal
Thoughts tears and sears in me
Makes me hate immensely
Renders into insecure soul
One day this enormous grief
Drifts away
One day this scorching grief
Drifts away
One day this dreadful grief
Drifts away
Wake me........
