Formed within the halls of Hollywood’s prestigious Musician’s Institute, PDP ascended to the top of L.A.’s metal charts in less than a year. Today, the progressive power-groove quintet is acquiring a national fan-base at an astonishing rate on the web where the band has established an enviable presence. PDP’s success lies in the band’s commitment to unadorned groove based metal, mixed with new school creativity, making them one of the tightest progressive metal bands around. PDP’s performances are stripped of the makeup, props and theatrics that posers and less talented performers rely upon. The result is akin to comparing a kitchen faucet to a fire-hose and explains why PDP has such a devoted following at its live shows.
The band’s debut full length album, Mass Delusion, released August 2nd, 2011 under Heavyocity Records, was a highly anticipated follow up to 3 exclusive Mayhem Festival EP’s. Always hungry, never satisfied, and with an uncompromised work ethic, PDP is always busy and moving forward to get any and all new material out to the fans. During the recording of their full length album they managed to shoot and release 2 music videos, write an instructional book & DVD under the Hal Leonard Corporation, write columns for Guitar World & Premier Guitar Magazine, and play the 2011 NAMM Show. During this time they also maintained plenty of radio play throughout the greater Los Angeles area including stations such as: Liquid Metal Sirius XM, KXSC.org/1560am, KXLU.com/88.9fm, WPMD.org, Pandora, powerhousemix.net, radiobuzzd.com, and many more.
In the summer of 2011 PDP guitarists Greg Harrison & Dane Markanson (instructors at Musicians Institute) were featured at the Revolver Magazine/Musicians Institute tent for the fourth consecutive year at The RockStar Mayhem Festival performing Shred Clinics and promoting the new album. They performed alongside acts such as: Megadeth, Unearth, Suicide Silence, All Shall Perish, Dethklok, and many others. Always fan oriented, PDP plans on spending their time outside of the studio touring around the world to bring their music to the masses.
PDP is currently co headlining a full U.S. west coast tour and has recently performed at the Sunset Strip Music Festival alongside Motley Crue and Bush. While on the road they will be recording their second album. PDP will continue to push the bar to new levels by utilizing custom 9 and 10 string guitars. The bands influence of classical composers like Paganini & Bach as well as progressive metal artists like Meshuggah & Despised Icon make these instruments a necessity. The bands founder Greg Harrison says "…If I'm not putting' out exactly whats in this filthy brain, then there's no point in me even doin' what I'm doin'…if it's not sincere, then it's not honest." And thats exactly what PDP is...honest brutality!
-"GIT graduate and now instructor Greg Harrison, hits all the right notes-and then some...Harrison can walk his talk!" - MM (Guitar Edge Magazine)
-"These dudes never cease to amaze. Especially when it comes down to the heaviness, they offer remarkable riffing and solos!" - Chris Aiken (Strung Out)
-"PDP is pure brutality!" - Pepe Clarke Magaña (Ankla, Kyng)
-"Holy Goddamn! 'Mass Delusion' is absolutely brilliant!" - Trev (Hard Rock Radio)
-"Shred Clinic Virtuosi." - Revolver Magazine
Twisted
P.D.P. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I would tell you that I'm dead but what do I know
Been thinking about murder twisted I know
Guess that's what happens when I'm alone
I said fuck my friends they weren't there for me
Kill ourselves double casualty
Popping percys are they working doing 40s I mean 30s
Yeah you fucked up thats your last straw
And I'm drinking and I'm fucked up
Doing my drugs while she's doing her stuff
Yeah she's a devil with a halo steady bankroll
I would tell you that I'm dead but what do I know
Been thinking about murder twisted I know
Guess that's what happens when I'm alone
In "Twisted" by P.D.P., the singer describes a complex and troubled individual who possesses both good and evil qualities. The first line, "Yeah she's a devil with a halo steady bankroll," suggests that this person appears innocent ("halo") but has a dark side ("devil") and is financially stable ("steady bankroll"). The juxtaposition of these contradictory traits points to the complexity and unpredictability of this individual.
The next line, "I would tell you that I'm dead but what do I know," reveals the singer's confusion and uncertainty about their own state of being. It suggests they may feel disconnected or numb, unable to fully comprehend their own existence. This line also hints at a sense of disillusionment and a lack of self-awareness.
The lyrics then delve into the singer's dark thoughts. The line, "Been thinking about murder twisted I know," suggests that the singer's mind is consumed by violent and disturbing thoughts. This could be interpreted metaphorically, representing a deep desire for vengeance or closure, or it could reflect a more literal interpretation of the singer's mental state.
The following line, "Guess that's what happens when I'm alone," hints that these twisted thoughts come to the forefront when the singer is left to their own devices. It suggests that solitude intensifies their troubled state of mind. It could also imply a lack of support or understanding from others, leading to feelings of isolation and exacerbating their twisted thoughts.
The subsequent lines, "I said fuck my friends they weren't there for me. Kill ourselves double casualty," further emphasize the singer's feelings of abandonment and despair. It suggests that they have lost faith in their friends and feel let down by their absence during difficult times. The use of "kill ourselves double casualty" could either indicate a metaphorical self-destruction or suggest a desire to escape the pain and loneliness they are experiencing.
The lyrics then mention drug use, with the line, "Popping percys are they working doing 40s I mean 30s." This implies a reliance on prescription drugs, specifically Percocet (referred to as "percys") and possibly other substances. It suggests that the singer turns to these substances as a means of coping with their emotional turmoil.
Overall, "Twisted" by P.D.P. depicts a complex individual struggling with their conflicting emotions and thoughts. It explores themes of isolation, despair, and the desire for escape through self-destructive behaviors. The song delves into the darkness that can consume someone's mind when left alone and hints at the devastating consequences that can come from such a state of mind.
