The experience gained from the production of 10 albums and the band's numerous shows all over Europe and as far away as New Zealand says it all: Illdisposed know what it's all about.
Over the years their success has not just been restricted to the metal scene: The last two albums entered the official Danish album charts at position 85 and 58 which made Illdisposed the first death metal band with such high chart entries. The video to "Still Sane" was the most wanted metal video on VIVA Plus for two weeks and the track "Dark" was featured on the soundtrack to the horror blockbuster SAW.
Not just scene experts should have recognised the name Illdisposed as a firm synonym for "finest metal quality" by now "The Prestige" will hit even the last hillbilly which most certainly will secure the Danes the top position of the European metal scene!
Current Line-up:
Bo Summer - Subwoofer

Illdisposed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a way, I'm what you call a pimp
Soap won't wash away your shame
I'll sell, whatever there's to be sold
In hell, I'd sell my own poor soul
Where are you going with that mask I found you
Thinking only about tomorrow
In your dreams, I'll do all the things you say
Your guess, is just as good as mine
But no, I cannot justify your ways
Take care, cause hurtable as hell
I wear, I wear the hardest shell
Daybreak, you're returning
And I know that you want to play
When I see the sun going down
The eyes in my head, see the world spinning around
The lyrics of Illdisposed's song "Pimp" suggest a certain despair or dissatisfaction with life, as the singer declares that "being alive brings me down". He then describes himself as a "pimp", which has traditionally been a term used to describe someone who profits off the exploitation of others, often in the sex trade. This suggests that the singer may feel like his current existence is characterized by using or taking advantage of others, or he could simply be describing himself as a hustler or someone who is able to get what he wants in life. The next few lines seem to describe the singer's willingness to do whatever it takes to succeed, even if it means selling his own soul.
The second verse mentions the idea of shame being unable to be washed away by soap, which could be interpreted as the idea that choices or actions that one takes can stay with them forever, even if they try to cleanse themselves of them. The singer then mentions that he will "sell whatever there is to be sold", suggesting a willingness to do whatever it takes to get ahead, even if it involves things that are morally questionable. The stanza that follows seems to describe someone who is running through the world without a clear plan or purpose, perhaps chasing after the idea of success or happiness but not really knowing how to achieve it. The singer promises to fulfill this person's wildest dreams in their dreams, suggesting a willingness to do whatever it takes to please others, even if it's not something he personally wants or believes in.
Line by Line Meaning
I say: To be living brings me down
Living is putting a damper on my life
In a way, I'm what you call a pimp
I am sort of like a manipulative and exploitative person
Soap won't wash away your shame
Your guilt and remorse can't be erased with soap
I'll sell, whatever there's to be sold
I'll peddle anything that is saleable
In hell, I'd sell my own poor soul
I would betray my own beliefs if necessary
Where are you going with that mask I found you
I am curious to know what you plan to do with the disguise I discovered on you
You're running through the world
You are frantically moving through life
Thinking only about tomorrow
Your entire focus is on the future
In your dreams, I'll do all the things you say
I will only comply with your requests in your dreams, not in reality
Your guess, is just as good as mine
I have no better idea than you
But no, I cannot justify your ways
I can't condone or defend your actions
Take care, cause hurtable as hell
I am warning you that you could get very hurt
I wear, I wear the hardest shell
I have built up a tough exterior to protect myself
Daybreak, you're returning
The morning is here and you are coming back
And I know that you want to play
I am aware that you desire to engage in games
When I see the sun going down
At sunset
The eyes in my head, see the world spinning around
I am feeling disoriented and overwhelmed
