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.
Their fourth album, Mimic47 was released 18.1.2006. Album went first on the chart directly.
Their fifth album, Icaros, was released 14.5.2008 under the label Sakara, debuting at #2 on the chart.

Formed by young occult fanatics Morrison Uchida and Eldritch Yokoyama, they released one known demo titled "Huling Sumpa" in 1975 and played a few shocking gigs before vanishing into obscurity. Some say that Morrison Uchida was arrested and sentenced to life in prison in 1981 or 1982 for killing three people and critically wounding eight others at a bar.

Diablo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From a place that I once tries to left behind
Now I know that I can't survive
In this labyrinth of sin has taken my soul
Misfortune along my side
Of killing kind
God only knows how hard, how many times I have tried to
I cover up the lies, I cover up the lies
Those empty words produced by my broken soul
Misfortune along my side
Of killing kind
Difference well hidden in insensibility
Holding only hatred
A contradiction from which emotions arise
Catch 22
Self-commited suicide
It seems to be the choice of mind
Maybe I'm weak but I can't stand the pain that I cause
Now I know that I am one step closer
To the end of this meaningless life
Misfortune along my side
Of killing kind
Difference well hidden in insensibility
Holding only hatred
A contradiction from which emotions arise
Catch 22
In Diablo's song C22, the lyrics speak of the singer's internal turmoil, trapped within a confusing and sinful state of mind. The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, emphasizing the feeling of being lost and stuck in a place that was supposed to be left behind. The singer's soul has been taken by the labyrinth of sin, as expressed in the line "Now I know that I can't survive, In this labyrinth of sin has taken my soul".
The chorus "Misfortune along my side, Of killing kind" is repeated throughout the song, reinforcing the feeling of being trapped in a vicious cycle of self-destructive behavior. The singer struggles to find a way out of their mental state but acknowledges their difficulty in doing so. They realize that they have been covering up lies, producing empty words from their broken soul.
The catch-22 is a paradoxical situation where the singer's emotions arise from a contradiction of holding only hatred while their differences are well-hidden in insensibility. The second verse emphasizes the singer's self-destructive tendencies, indicating the choice of self-committed suicide to escape the pain and put an end to their meaningless life.
Overall, the song's lyrics offer a powerful and unflinching portrayal of the anguish and turmoil experienced by those facing mental health challenges.
