1) Deranged, one… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least 3 bands using the name Deranged.
1) Deranged, one of the few Swedish death metal bands that came out during the early nineties, that have done their own kind of no remorse showing, intense and truly brutal death metal. No matter what other bands around were and are doing, you can be sure that Deranged will always deliver the most brutal and violent death metal man can create!
Deranged have been around since 1991 and quickly after the formation of the band, they recorded and released their only official demo tape, the four song "...The Confessions of a Necrophile" which gave them a 7" single deal with the Japanese label Obliteration Records. The name of the now sold out 7" single was "...The Confessions Continues" which certainly gave the band a name in the worldwide death metal underground scene where the band is mostly seen.
Deranged were now busy writing new material for their first mini CD "Architects of Perversions" which was released by Repulse Records from Spain, and basically just once again helped the band to keep spreading the name all around the world as being one of the most brutal acts the scene had to offer.
The year is now 1994 and exactly one year after the recording sessions of their first 7" single they hooked up with the German label M.M.I. Records which released their follow up to the "Architects of Perversions" MCD, the two song 7" single "Upon the Medical Slab" which once again proved that Deranged was a band that would never sell out to the mainstream.
Deranged were now supposed to do their second mini CD, the four song "Sculpture of the Dead" which was said to be released on Invasion Records from Germany. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond the band's acts that never happened and it didn't see the light of day 'til October 1995, then as a bonus disc to the first 2000 copies of the band's full length disc "Rated-X" (Repulse Records).
"Rated-X" received surprisingly good response and Rikard Wermén (drums) once said in an interview: "I never thought that 'Rated-X' would receive such great response as it did, having in mind all black metal and melodic stuff going on today... 'Rated-X' isn't especially 'melodic' nor 'evil'. Ha ha ha..." The band now shot their first video clip that was aired numerous times on MTV/Into the Pit, Z-TV, Viva TV... you name it!
The year is now 1997 and the band once again enter the studio after some intense touring all over Europe along with a few changes in the line-up to record their highly requested second CD "High On Blood" which received even better response than "Rated-X". Deranged did around 45-50 shows all around Europe in 1998 and they will for sure break that this year along with the release of their third full length disc "III" which is said to be released in October '99. It's said to be the most brutal, sickest, most extreme and intense death metal album ever released. Deranged also recently signed a deal with Listenable Records so now they're really ready to spread the violent reeking death metal so many people once again urge for.

Deranged Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I looked inside, and so I hide
Facing darkness
Each breath of life, and so I writhe
What's my mind?
What's in my mind, who am I?
Who am I?
Straight to your face, another lie
Improvise a couple lines
Stab a pencil in my eyes
So I can see a new disguise
I really tried, I swear I tried
I didn't try
Stare at the sky
Stare at the sky and cry
So you can die
You can lay down and die
Or you can get the fuck up and kill what's killing you inside
Kill it!
Kill it!
Kill it!
Kill it!
Kill it!
Kill it!
Kill it!
Kill it!
Kill it!
Kill it!
Kill it!
Kill it!
Kill it!
Kill it!
Kill it!
I really tried
I looked inside, and so I hide
Facing darkness
Each breath of life, and so I writhe
What's my mind?
What's in my mind, who am I?
Who am I?
Straight to your face, another lie
Close my windows, shut the blinds
Improvise a couple lines
Stab a pencil in my eyes
So I can see a new disguise
The lyrics of Deranged's song "Kill" speak of the struggle with inner demons, the fight to identify them, and the need to eliminate them to survive. The singer expresses the sense of desperation by starting off saying, "I really tried" but then contradicting himself, stating "I didn't try." The lines "Facing darkness, each breath of life, and so, I writhe" illustrate the intense internal turmoil the singer is experiencing. The lines, "What's my mind? What's in my mind, who am I? Who am I? Straight to your face, another lie" clearly convey that the singer is battling with a sense of identity crisis and is trying to come to terms with it.
The second half of the lyrics are a call to action. The singer encourages the listener to take control of their own lives and eliminate the negative thoughts that are tormenting them. The repeated exhortation to "kill it" conveys the message to not be complacent in the face of inner struggles but to overcome them.
Overall, "Kill" effectively captures the sense of hopelessness and despair that one can face in their life while also encouraging the listener to take action and fight back.
