Biography

Gothic Metal/Rock band from Stockholm, Sweden, who started as a death metal band under the name [a=Treblinka] in 1988, by vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Johan Edlund. They released two demos and a 7" as Treblinka, which led to a deal with CMFT. For their debut in 1990, they changed their name to Tiamat. For their second album (and all later subsequent albums) they were signed by Century Media. In 1992, for their "Clouds" album, they displayed a doom metal direction mixed with atmospheric keyboards. After a few members left the band in 1994, they started to record their first non-metal album "Wildhoney". This album was the new Tiamat with their psychedelic goth rock style. In 1995, Johan Edlund permanently moved to Dortmund, Germany, where most of the albums were recorded, and he also turned Tiamat into a personal project by declaring himself as the only official member. But, he still works always with the same people who can be seen as band members, but Johan writes all the music.

LYRICS

The warrior went back to Rome
The nomads settled for solid homes
The crusader returned to heathen
The snake searched for garden of Eden
The manikin went back in her cocoon
And NASA flew back to the moon
The great white returned to the coral reef
As the geisha stepped up on a waterlily leaf

Everything was like before
And the pharaohs killed the first born son
Good lord Jesus Christ went back to his whore
The whore went back to Babylon

The pope went back on the dole
And Santa flew back to the north pole
Judas went back to Nazareth
And the president back in his jet

The raven flew back to Hades
And the shemales went back to the eighties
The dandy went back to Perth
And the dead went straight back to birth
