Tony Dolan

Tony "Demolition" Dolan (also known as the "Demolition Man") was born in 1964. He is an English musician and actor, most known as bassist and vocalist of heavy metal bands Atomkraft and Venom.

Dolan and Paul Spillett formed Atomkraft in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1979. He was a vocalist from 1979 to 1986, played guitars from 1979 to 1981 and on to 1988, just before they broke up. From 1981 to 1987 he played bass guitar. When Atomkraft was reformed in 2004, Dolan took up the duty of vocalist and bassist again. In 1988, he was offered a role of bassist and vocalist for the prominent band, Venom. He recorded four albums with Venom before leaving the band in 1993. He also participated in other acts, including Mantas, Dogmatix and Raubtier. In 2010, with Jeffrey Dunn and Anthony Lant, he started playing bass guitar and singing in M-pire of Evil.

    Everything Ends

    by: Dantalion

    I feel something seizes me
    I don´t have the strength to hold on
    I don´t know if its worth the strggle
    Or if I ougth to give up.
    I see the blackshape in front of me...
    solumn, distant!
    Is tell me...the time has come!
    I feel his breath on my face
    There´s nothing I can do
    Like a tears running down trogh my cheek
    And flowing to my mouth
    Which make me feel that bitter taste
    ...The taste death
    I´m scared ...yed relieved
    Everything ends, there´s no turning back
    His cloak surrounds me
    To snatch my soul away
    All my life passed before mi eyes
    There´s nothing beyond
    Everything begins to darken
    End,suddenly, my life has been taken.
    This is my end!
    My end!
    This is my end!
