1) A doom meta… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least three bands with the name Penance:
1) A doom metal band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
2) Band from London.
3) A punk band from Perth, Western Australia
1) Penance was born from the ashes of Dream Death, when several members decided to pursue a more traditional doom direction. Dream Death existed during mid eighties and played speciphic mixture of doom, hardcore and thrash metal.
Founders of Penance were drummer Mike Smail and guitarist Terry Weston (both previously a members of Dream Death) and they were the core of the band from its early days to the disbanding. The band changed various line-ups, and one of their most notable members were Mary Bielich (Novembers Doom).
Penance's debut The Road Less Travelled was released 1992, under Lee Dorrian's label Rise Above Records. Alongside with Revelation's debut, it was a first doom metal album released on this label. They would embark on a European tour in support of doom legends Cathedral and Sleep.
Their second album, Parallel Corners, was released 1994, by the European metal label Century Media. Many fans consider this the band's best album, and it's also considered one of the classics of 90s (traditional) doom metal. On the next releases Penance adopted a slight range of psychedelic influences, but still remained fairly closed to their traditional doom roots.
Spiritualnatural (2003) would be the band's final album. They embarked on a European tour in 2004 partnered with Well of Souls and Orodruin. They split that same year. The Road Revisited was released posthumously in 2005, which is the unreleased original recorded version of the first album.
Mike Smail went on to join Internal Void and Pentagram.
2) Penance Last Rites From London: "From the ashes of a dead God, the remains of a broken society and through the fires of creation, we were formed to absolve the world of sin and usher in a new age of man.
To know our name is to know sacrifice,
for we are many, we are eternal, we are the alpha and the omega.
WE ARE PENANCE!"

3) A punk band from Perth, Western Australia. Penance began jamming mid-2013 and have since released a 7 track demo.

Penance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[Lyrics: Smail]
Sit and watch the world, I contemplate
Existence ill legitimate, a quirk of fate
Is man of God or just Nature's folly
Still with intelligence, we all are crawling
Bring man's destined descent into black
What does existence hold for me
A mutation of what man conceives
Did you ever step back and look at yourself
You might not like what you see
And with each dawn that brings a new day's breath
For most it means life, but for me it means death
Man is a paradox drowning in irony
The world is chained to man's reality
Can't you see
It wasn't meant to be
Not you or me
Humanity......You're killing me
In the song "Penance" by Penance, the lyrics express deep contemplation about the nature of existence and humanity's place in the world. The opening lines invite the listener to join in the reflection and consider the legitimacy of life itself, raising the question of whether humanity's existence is a strange accident or a divine purpose. The lyrics also ponder whether humans are guided by a higher power, or whether they are merely products of natural selection. Despite the intelligence that humans possess, the lyrics suggest that humans are still crawling in their understanding of the world around them.

I am sitting here and watching the world, thinking deeply about it.
Existence ill legitimate, a quirk of fate
Existence is a strange occurrence, not easily explained, almost like fate.
Is man of God or just Nature's folly
Is mankind created by God or are we just another product of nature?
Still with intelligence, we all are crawling
Even with our intelligence, we still struggle and move slowly through life.
One step forward and two steps back
We seem to make progress in life, but then setbacks happen and we're worse off than before.
Bring man's destined descent into black
These setbacks bring us down into a dark place, and we are destined to end up there.
What does existence hold for me
I wonder what the point of existence is, and how it affects me specifically.
A mutation of what man conceives
Our existence could be a mutated version of what humans perceive it to be.
Did you ever step back and look at yourself
Have you ever taken a step back in life and taken a good look at yourself?
You might not like what you see
The truth about ourselves can be uncomfortable to confront.
And with each dawn that brings a new day's breath
Every morning symbolizes a new day, a fresh start.
For most it means life, but for me it means death
For others, morning brings life, but for me, it just brings the realization that I am closer to death.
Man is a paradox drowning in irony
As humans, we are contradictory and often caught up in situations that seem illogical or opposite of what we intended.
The world is chained to man's reality
Our world is limited by the limitations of human perception and understanding.
Can't you see
Can't you understand?

2 Samuel 6:9-18
[9]And David was afraid of the Lord that day, saying: How shall the ark of the Lord come to me?
[10]And he would not have the ark of the Lord brought in to himself into the city of David: but he caused it to be carried into the house of Obededom the Gethite.
[11]And the ark of the Lord abode in the house of Obededom the Gethite three months: and the Lord blessed Obededom, and all his household.
[12]And it was told king David, that the Lord had blessed Obededom, and all that he had, because of the ark of God. So David went, and brought away the ark of God out of the house of Obededom into the city of David with joy. And there were with David seven choirs, and calves for victims.
[13]And when they that carried the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed and ox and a ram:
[14]And David danced with all his might before the Lord: and David was girded with a linen ephod.
[15]And David and all the louse of Israel brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord with joyful shouting, and with sound of trumpet.
[16]And when the ark of the Lord was come into the city of David, Michol the daughter of Saul, looking out through a window, saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord: and she despised him in her heart.
[17]And they brought the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle, which David had pitched for it: and David offered holocausts, and peace offerings before the Lord.
[18]And when he had made an end of offering holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.

Luke 1:43-55
[43]And whence is this to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
[44]For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
[45]And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.
[46]And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.
[47]And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
[48]Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid: for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
[49]Because he that is mighty hath done great things to me: and holy is his name.
[50]And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.
[51]He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
[52]He hath put down the mighty from their seat and hath exalted the humble.
[53]He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich he hath sent empty away.
[54]He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy.
[55]As he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and to his seed for ever.

Revelation 11:18-19
[18]And the nations were angry: and thy wrath is come. And the time of the dead, that they should be judged and that thou shouldest render reward to thy servants the prophets and the saints, and to them that fear thy name, little and great: and shouldest destroy them who have corrupted the earth.
[19]And the temple of God was opened in heaven: and the ark of his testament was seen in his temple. And there were lightnings and voices and an earthquake and great hail.
Revelation 12:1-17
[1]And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
[2]And being with child, she cried travailing in birth: and was in pain to be delivered.
[3]And there was seen another sign in heaven. And behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns and on his heads seven diadems.
[4]And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered: that, when she should be delivered, he might devour her son.
[5]And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with an iron rod. And her son was taken up to God and to his throne.
[6]And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God, that there they should feed her, a thousand two hundred sixty days.
[7]And there was a great battle in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon fought, and his angels.
[8]And they prevailed not: neither was their place found any more in heaven.
[9]And that great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, who seduceth the whole world. And he was cast unto the earth: and his angels were thrown down with him.
[10]And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying: Now is come salvation and strength and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ: because the accuser of our brethren is cast forth, who accused them before our God day and night.
[11]And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of the testimony: and they loved not their lives unto death.
[12]Therefore, rejoice, O heavens, and you that dwell therein. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.
[13]And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman who brought forth the man child.
[14]And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the desert, unto her place, where she is nourished for a time and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
[15]And the serpent cast out of his mouth, after the woman, water, as it were a river: that he might cause her to be carried away by the river.
[16]And the earth helped the woman: and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
[17]And the dragon was angry against the woman: and went to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
