Damn right, IMPIOUS signed with Metal Blade and released the album “Hellucinate” in 2004 which lead to two European tours with AMON AMARTH, several festival appearances in Europe and Japan, and one Japanese tour with THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER.
In the autumn of 2006 the band recorded “Holy Murder Masquerade” at Studio Deadline, which is owned by band member Valle Adzic. The band did several shows in 2007 and a few festival gigs at i.e. Summer Breeze Festival and Stonehenge Festival. The band also did their first american show at the New England Hardcore And Metal Festival with bands such as Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, Dimmu Borgir, Unearth, The Black Dahlia Murder etc. A live DVD was also filmed on location and is now released as a part of Metal Blade Records 25th Anniversary DVD.
The next assault from Impious is planned to be recorded in the summer of 2008 and you better keep an eye out for this one, because it will most certainly be most brutal album they've ever put out!!!
Inside
Impious Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No Regression like a homicidal marionette
Animated like a corrupted carnivore
A puppet meant for murder,
tempted by a twisted mind.
Oh lord, exorcise this creature
lurking in the dark windings
Release me from this entanglement
of epidemic tissue,
demanding those dark deeds of death!
In my skull I'm not alone
I know it's dwelling there
Demon dominating me,
with which my mind I share
Deep within I'm oh so sure
It's lurking in my head
But I'm bold, I'm fighting back
I shall not be misled
Blood begins to surge
Turns my fear to lust
Can't deny the urge
in doublemind I trust
My control I lose
The other me is strong
There's no way to choose
To him I belong
Regression
My mind was far too weak
Temptation
A victim now I seek
Unearthborn
Not of flesh nor soul
Possession
My mind's been captured
now in its control
[Solo: kesson]
I'm a schizophrenic creature
Tracing scent of prey
I'm the puppet of my master
At the end of the endless hunt
I'm getting what I seek
Gashed by a blade in
bloodstained night
Adrenaline at its peak
[Solo: kesson]
Can't resist
Trapped by unearthborn forces
from far beyond
And those voices keep whispering,
keep hailing my hate
The urge is strong,
I know what has to be done,
when entering euphoric state of lust
The funeral choir mass
about bloodstained nights
And those voices inside
gaining in strength,
possessing my will,
I'm not my own anymore.
I've lost control of my flesh
Please set me free
from those black chains of insanity...
Stabbing on as victims fall
Finally I'm pleased
Listening to my inner calls
We have had our feast
Lust and hunger double minded
I feed the inner beast
Shame and remorse undivided
My sanity has ceased
Blood begins to surge
Turns my fear to lust
Can't deny the urge,
in doublemind I trust
My control I lose
The other me is strong
There's no way to choose
To him I belong
Regression
My mind was far too weak
Temptation
A victim now I seek
Unearthborn
Not of flesh nor soul
Possession
My mind's been captured
now in its control
