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.

See those graves aside?
Shut soon they will be, with their eyes
There Epicurus lies
And those who said body with soul dies
See
The Sun
Free
Your mind
Take
Delight
Die
Fire fire
Evil purifier
Tuscan alive man
Are you kind enough to stay your steps?
I can see that you and I
More than words share
Oh Farinata, we do share a matter, war!
Your family hated mine
To waste us they tried and tried
And maybe we lost a fight
But never the end was nigh
And I tell you, no I Cry:
My home still stands where my heart belongs
Is that all?
Sweet
Child
Walk
By
My
Side
Come
Let
Me
Guide
You
Out
Of
This
Grave
Yard
Within this big
Ring of rocks there are
Three smaller circles
Like the ones (Treason)
You are leaving (And fraud)
And they too are full of (Are the lowest forms of)
Spirits cursed (Sinners)
Learn now (Violents before)
How and why they are in constraint (Nd next for you both)
How they are arranged (Sinners)
Take heed and listen (That is the justice of) (Incontinence, Malice and)
Well (God) (Beasts)
The repetition of the word "Turn" sets the tone of the song, suggesting a cyclical nature of life and death. The lyrics draw attention to graves and the closure of those resting places, mentioning Epicurus, a Greek philosopher who believed in the concept of body and soul separation. This could signify a contemplation on mortality and philosophical ideas about the afterlife.
The mention of the sun, the call to free the mind, and the invitation to take delight hint at a deeper spiritual or intellectual journey. The lyrics touch on the idea of embracing life fully before facing death, urging the listener to confront their mortality and seek meaning in their existence.
The reference to "Fire fire, Evil purifier" could symbolize a transformative or purifying process, potentially alluding to a spiritual awakening or a reckoning with one's past actions. The connection between the singer and Farinata, despite past animosity between their families, emphasizes shared experiences and a common understanding, suggesting reconciliation and empathy in the face of adversity.
The imagery of guiding a child out of a graveyard and the mention of different circles filled with cursed spirits allude to themes of redemption, justice, and the consequences of one's actions. The circles representing different sins and constraints imply a moral lesson or a warning to learn from the mistakes of the past and strive for a better future. Overall, the song appears to be a reflective journey exploring themes of mortality, redemption, and personal growth.
