1) Diablo was born in the late 1990s in Finland. They recorded it´s first mini-album "Princess" catching a record deal with Poko Rekords. The first album Elegance in Black was released in 2000 and was described as a powerful punch in the face.
In 2002 after releasing the second album Renaissance, which went straight to number 14 on the Finnish Top 40, Diablo played gigs on several summer festivals. Most important of them was the internationally known Tuska-festival in Helsinki. The band also made a video of the album's opening track Angel. Diablo took a strong place in the Finnish metal music scene with these two albums.
The expectations for the third album increased to a high level when the release date got closer. The hype around the band was enormous. And just before the third album´s release, Finnish most popular music show "Levyraati" broadcasted their brand new video of the song Read My Scars, also released as a single (staying nine weeks on the single chart, topping at number three). The video got so much feedback that even the grannies knew the group after that!
"Diablo“ that hails in the names of Testament, Slayer and Death- released it's third album Eternium on the 19th of January 2004. It went straight to number 3 on the chart, staying for eight weeks on the Finnish Top 40. The band got awesome media interest. Most of the gigs were sold out and the forthcoming summer seems to be a busy time for the group. Diablo, Finland's brightest metal hope, is known as a super live act, capable of producing their enormous roar also on stage.

Diablo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I close my eyes and reach the point
Where everything is meaningless
You strike on my nerves
You have dragged me down
But now I'll do the same what you've been doing to me
Before you can say a word
[pre:]
Can't you see your oncoming suffering?
Why can't you see the revelation?
The pressure of blood is singing in my ears
When I heard that you've been spreading lies around me
I strike with fear A cry of war
And I pull the strings that you hold before
I will pretend the shock wave of your life
[pre:]
Can't you see your oncoming suffering?
Why can't you see the revelation?
[chorus:]
Today you see the end of the line
'cause now my hatred is open wide
Then you will know who I am in this game
The Angel of Revenge
You're about to see what is like to be haunted and nailed down
My lust for war will lead us to this bitter state
Where pain is so real and paralyzing
The price we have to pay
But like a phoenix I rise
To tear your soul apart
The lyrics to Diablo's song "Angel" depict a person who is mentally preparing for a war in their own mind. The individual reaches a point where everything feels meaningless and they begin to feel a significant amount of pressure. The song's opening lines suggest that the person is mentally preparing themselves to go up against someone who has been dragging them down.
The lyrics then go on to describe the potential fight, with the singer pledging to do the same thing to their opponent that has been done to them. The singer appears to be seeking revenge on someone who has wronged them. The words are intense and filled with passion, as the singer prepares to unleash their anger and break their enemy.
One of the main themes in the song is revenge, and the lyrics seem to suggest that the only way for the person to deal with their feelings of anger and frustration is to take revenge on the person who has wronged them. The lyrics are powerful and emotive, conveying the feeling of rage and the desire for retribution.

I prepare for war inside my head
I mentally equip myself for battle against my adversary
I close my eyes and reach the point
I focus my mind to achieve a state of indifference
Where everything is meaningless
Where all my emotions and feelings are void
You strike on my nerves
You provoke and irritate me
You have dragged me down
You have caused me to fall into despair
But now I'll do the same what you've been doing to me
I will retaliate and do to you what you have done to me
Before you can say a word
Before you can defend yourself verbally
I'm gonna get you, break you and throw you away
I will defeat you, crush you and discard you
Can't you see your oncoming suffering?
Can't you perceive the impending agony?
Why can't you see the revelation?
Why can't you discern the truth?
The pressure of blood is singing in my ears
My anger is building up and consuming me
When I heard that you've been spreading lies around me
When I learnt that you have been defaming me
I strike with fear A cry of war
I attack with intimidation and a battle cry
And I pull the strings that you hold before
And I control the things that you value
I will pretend the shock wave of your life
I will simulate the devastation in your existence
Today you see the end of the line
Today you witness your downfall
'cause now my hatred is open wide
Because now my animosity is unbridled
Then you will know who I am in this game
Then you will realize my identity in this conflict
The Angel of Revenge
The celestial being executing justice
You're about to see what is like to be haunted and nailed down
You are about to experience the torment and persecution
My lust for war will lead us to this bitter state
My desire for conflict has brought us to this unpleasant condition
Where pain is so real and paralyzing
Where misery is authentic and crippling
The price we have to pay
The consequence we must bear
But like a phoenix I rise
But I will revive and resurrect constantly
To tear your soul apart
To destroy you from within

@TreasonousBastard
Angels are dicks (well, to humans) in Diablo. Tyrael is pretty much the sole exception and he has to become mortal to manage it.
Even the angels that aren't overtly dickish to humans still continuously choose never to actively help them, even though demons are constantly willing to actively hurt them, and they hate demons. If I remember right, quite a lot of the angels that are still in "good standing" and live up in heaven voted to exterminate the entire human race at one point, because they could potentially be evil, and a lot of them saw nothing wrong with what Malthael was doing in Reaper of Souls.
Imperius only wanted to stop Malthael in Reaper of Souls because he'd gone insane, not because he wanted to save humanity.
Then they pathologically ignore that they themselves can potentially become evil, even though it happens semi-regularly, and a few of them (like Imperius) are edge cases anyway.
But that is one of the things I like about Diablo lore. It makes some sense that they behave like robots programmed to be "good", because that is how a being without moral agency that's supposed to be "good" should act. They're what you'd get if you tried to get an AI to be moral but didn't give it any explicit instructions regarding how to treat humans.

Expertly stated by someone else on youtube:
Imperius never feared Diablo, he never feared his anger. Imperius is the Archangel of Valor, he has no self-doubt. In fact, he is very, very, very zealous. He is all for something or all against something. For Imperius, there is no middle-ground. You are either with him or you are not. That is why he acts so abrasively towards the Nephalem and even Tyrael.
They are in the middle. To Imperius, humans and the Nephalem are just demonspawn and Tyrael, once a good friend of Imperius' is working alongside them.
He hates demonspawn, obviously, because demons are the embodiment of
evil.Imperius deals in absolutes, nothing more, nothing less. Don't understand all the hate he gets. Oh well, whatevs, Archangel of Swagger isn't bothered by it.
@judemathew5647
I like how they just stood there when Imperius cut Diablo in half and the blood splattered all over them and they are just like "what the fuck Imperius".
@SMK451
It takes quite a lot of time to get that dank ass Demon blood out of their robes. What a dick move.
@judemathew5647
I know right.
@ivancolonna7520
Would you guys laugh if Tyrael bitch slapped Imperius and asked him "The fuck bro... we had him... and you killed him... the fuck?!"
Then the fight starts.
