Thee band… Read Full Bio ↴Pervy Perkin are a progressive metal band from Murcia, Spain.
Thee band started out as a project between Alvaro (guitar) and Carly (drums) called Hybrid Blood, which was complete with the inclusion of Dante as a new guitar player along with Alvaro. Rafa ‘Fika’ then joined his bass to the cause and at the same time an old friend of the band, Ugo Fellone, took up the spot of the much needed keyboard player. The name ‘Pervy Perkin’ is stablished in 2011, the same year in which they would compete in an important music contest in Murcia, their homeland, reaching the semi-finals and being the youngest band to do so.
Halfway through 2012, Pervy Perkin focused their efforts on the composition and recording of their debut album, coinciding with the departure of Rafa and the entrance of the magnificent Alex Macho, who would become the lead vocalist from that point on and would record the main vocals for the album.
In October 2013, Pablo ‘Aks’, joins Pervy Perkin as the permanent bassist the band had been looking for since 2012. Shortly after, Ugo Fellone decides to leave the band for personal reasons.
Since mid-2013, Pervy Perkin has set foot in many well known venues of Madrid, such as Sala Caracol, Sala We Rock or Sala Honky Tonk, alongside local and national bands and to a very well met response from critics and the public.
After almost two years of hard work, INK dropped on 3rd of March to critical acclaim. A double LP with over two hours of music with a mixture of styles, passages and melodies Pervy Perkin style.

Pape Satan, Aleppe

Pape Satan, Aleppe
Pape Satan
For whatever power he has
He cannot stray you from your path
He will not harm you, stay aside
Be silent, oh cursed wolf
Go let your rage feed on yourself!
His journey is willed on high, so fly away, gone!
Here saw I people, more than elsewhere, many
On one side and the other, this dark place was plenty
With great howls and rolling weights by force of chest
They suffered, they cried as they clashed with the rest
And so when they hit the other, their weights roll back
And crying, demanding, they shout at the dark
WHY DO YOU HOARD? said one, WHY DO YOU SQUANDER?
The other replying, and both red in anger
And turning their stone as no answer is found
They begin to wander the other way around
Crying and crying this their chant of scorn
I couldn't but feel like my own heart was torn
Here we cry we all know why we never care to stop
All in life is keeping, thrive, and gather even more
Here we cry we all know why we never care to stop
All in life is spending, buying, wasting for our cause
I've been trying to recognize
All those souls in the eastern side
Now their tonsures reveal they're clergymen
Shame on them!
Here we cry we all know why we never care to stop
All in life is keeping, thrive, and gather even more
Here we cry we all know why we never care to stop
All in life is spending, buying, wasting for our cause
All for gold
We are sold
Here we cry we all know why we never care to stop
All in life is keeping, thrive, and gather even more
Here we cry we all know why we never care to stop
All in life is spending, buying, wasting for our cause
And then we so descend towards a greater sorrow
For every star that rose when I first move is setting now
We crossed the circle to the other shore to reach a flow
A darkenend stream which gives birth to a swamp so here we come,
Styx
The lyrics to Pervy Perkin's "All for Gold" contain deep and thought-provoking themes that explore the consequences of greed and materialism. The repeated invocation of "Pape Satan" creates a sense of foreboding and sets the tone for a journey into the darkness of human nature. The lines "Don't let your fear defeat you" and "He will not harm you, stay aside" suggest a warning against succumbing to fear and allowing external forces to lead one astray. This could be interpreted as a cautionary message to stay true to oneself and not be swayed by external temptations or influences that may divert from one's true path.
The imagery in the following verses paints a vivid picture of a dark and tumultuous place where people are consumed by their own greed and desires. The reference to "rolling weights" and the constant conflict and cries of the damned souls portray a sense of eternal torment and self-inflicted suffering resulting from their insatiable greed. The dialogue between the individuals in this dark place highlights the futility of their pursuits and the sense of frustration and remorse that accompany their actions.
The lyrics also touch upon themes of hypocrisy and betrayal, as the revelation that the souls in the eastern side are clergymen evokes a sense of shame and condemnation. This suggests a critique of those who preach piety and virtue but are ultimately driven by the same desires and greed that they condemn in others. The repeated refrain "All for gold, we are sold" reinforces the idea of the destructive power of material wealth and how it can corrupt and ultimately lead to one's downfall.
The mention of descending towards a greater sorrow and the reference to the River Styx, a symbol of death and transition in Greek mythology, further emphasizes the idea of a journey into darkness and the consequences of one's actions. The setting sun and the crossing towards a darker stream symbolize a descent into a realm of despair and hopelessness, where the pursuit of wealth and material gain leads to a spiritual emptiness and loss of soul. Overall, the lyrics of "All for Gold" deliver a powerful message about the dangers of greed and the importance of staying true to one's values and principles in the face of temptation and materialistic desires.
