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 ↴
When the grace was
shining on my face
Don't you see, don't you feel
those days are gone
They've vanished in the air.
Now I could not care less
of you and your poisoned mind
this thousand times
My emotions are hidden
in a place where you can't see
Hate is replacing the dreams
that we once shared
on these frontlines,
frontlines of mysteries!
Oh hell yeah!
I can remember the love
At some point it became
one with my hate
I can see how
you are wasting your life,
wasting your dignity
The light in my eyes is fading away
But I bleed no tears
cos I know your destiny
My emotions are hidden
in a place where you can't see
Hate is replacing the dreams
that we once shared
on these frontlines,
frontlines of mysteries!
How blind can you be?
Don't you know what I mean?
Love divided, love divided
Extending agony!
Love divided, love divided
I hate your empty words
and the grin on your face, ah!
My emotions are hidden
in a place where you can't see
Hate is replacing the dreams
that we once shared
on these frontlines,
frontlines of mysteries!
How blind can you be?
Don't you know what I mean?
Love divided, love divided
Extending agony!
Love divided, love divided
I hate your empty words!
The lyrics of Diablo's song "Lovedivided" describe a person who used to experience happiness and joy, but as time passed, those feelings vanished. The person speaks about how they can no longer feel the grace shining on their face and how love has become one with their hate. They no longer care about others' opinions because they have seen it all before. They express that their emotions are hidden, and hate has replaced their once shared dreams with someone else. Meanwhile, the other person is wasting their life, wasting their dignity with their empty words and grin. The person sings about their love being divided and the agony that comes with it.
The song is a representation of a toxic relationship where one person has become apathetic towards the other. The lyrics are emotional and raw, showing a person who is hurt and angry. The person's feelings are so intense that they bleed no tears anymore. They are aware of their situation but cannot do anything about it. The person feels like they are on the frontlines of mysteries, where they can see the other person falling apart, but they have to watch from afar. The lyrics are powerful and bring a sense of emotion to the song.
