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.

4) Notable for composing the songs from Budbrain’s first and second megademos.
5) One of the first metal bands from the Philippines, formed sometime in the early 70's and often regarded as forgotten godfathers of the metal genre. 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 ↴
The time has come for you and me
To reveal the truth from inside
I am not of the kind you want me to be
I'm going nowhere but down
Forgive me father for my sins
Hey, just look at me I know the reason
You just can't see it from that far
When you look into my eyes
You see a dead part of your life
We are still together as one
In your world, build on silence and greed
Forgive me father for my sins
Forgive me for the things I have done
Hey, just look at me I know the reason
You just can't see it from that far
I will go on my way from the cradle to the grave
I am the one who you should not blame
Take care of your soul, I'll take care of my own
'cause you make me a preacher as you know
Forgive me father for my sins
Forgive me for the things I have done
Hey, just look at me I know the reason
You just can't see it from that far
I will go on my way from the cradle to the grave
I am the one who you should not blame
Take care of your soul, I'll take care of my own
'cause you make me a preacher
'cause you make me a preacher as you know
The lyrics to Diablo's song "The Preacher" are a deep and introspective reflection on the singer's inner turmoil and the struggle to be accepted for who they are by those around them. The song begins with a defiant declaration that the time has come for the singer and their audience to "reveal the truth from inside." This truth, however, is not one that their listeners necessarily want to hear. The singer acknowledges that they are not the kind of person their listeners would like them to be, and that they are "going nowhere but down."
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on the sins they have committed and the things they have done. They ask for forgiveness from their father and plead for understanding from their audience. The lyrics suggest that the singer is ostracized and misunderstood by those around them, but that they are still together as one in a world "built on silence and greed."
The final verse of the song is a powerful statement of self-determination. The singer declares that they will go on their own way from the cradle to the grave, taking care of their own soul while their audience takes care of theirs. They affirm that their listeners have made them a preacher, whether they like it or not, and that they will continue to speak the truth as they see it.
Overall, "The Preacher" is a song about personal struggle, defiance, and the power of self-determination. It speaks to the human desire for acceptance and understanding, even when those around us seem set against us.
