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.

Pervy Perkin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now see
The souls
Of those
Whom anger
Overcame
Beneath
People are
Who sigh
And in the slime
They say
We sullen were
We bore the mist
Of sluggishness
And now we sink
Master, I see
What you say
But who's that man that comes our way?
He's our passage
Phlegyas
In his boat we'll cross this marsh
YOU
ARE
CAUGHT!
FOUL SOUL
NOW
YOU
ARE
CAUGHT!
Phlegyas, Phlegyas
We're yours no longer
Than what it takes to cross
The swamp you're under
Who are you come before your time?
I've come, but I won't stay, but who are you?
You see I'm just a poor soul weeping here
In weeping, grieving may you long remain
I know your name
you indignant dog!
Be off the boat!
I hope to see your spirit soused within this broth
And you dismembered by these sinners praised be God!
My dear, oh my dear
You did so well
We now have finally reached the lower Hell
WELCOME TO DIS
DIS
WELCOME TO DIS
TO DIS
The lyrics of Pervy Perkin's song "Row" depict a journey through the depths of Hell, referencing the punishment and torment of sinful souls. The first verse highlights the souls who have been consumed by anger, portraying them as submerged beneath water and trapped in a state of desolation and regret. These souls have succumbed to their negative emotions and are now resigned to their fate in the murky depths.
The second verse introduces Phlegyas, a character who serves as a guide for navigating the marsh of Hell. The dialogue with Phlegyas reveals that the singer is confused about their own identity and purpose in this dark realm. Phlegyas is a symbolic figure representing passage and transformation, guiding the souls through their journey in Hell.
The following section shows a confrontation between the singer and another soul, characterized by accusations and curses. The exchange reflects the chaotic and tense atmosphere of Hell, where the sins and wrongdoings of each individual are brought to light and judged. The intense emotions and struggles of the souls in Hell are vividly portrayed through the dialogue in this confrontation.
As the song progresses, it builds towards a climactic moment as the souls reach "the lower Hell." This final destination, referred to as "DIS," signifies the ultimate depth of despair and suffering. The repeated phrases "WELCOME TO DIS" serve as a chilling culmination of the journey, emphasizing the finality and solemnity of the souls' arrival at this dark and foreboding place. Overall, the lyrics of "Row" offer a haunting and vivid portrayal of the journey through Hell, exploring themes of punishment, redemption, and the consequences of one's actions.

Son
Child, listen closely
Now see
Observe closely
The souls
The spirits of the departed
Of those
Of individuals who
Whom anger
Were consumed by rage
Overcame
And ultimately defeated by it
Beneath
Underneath the surface
The water
The murky depths below
People are
There exist individuals
Who sigh
Who lament and express sorrow
And in the slime
And within this filth
They say
They voice their despair
We sullen were
We were filled with gloom
We bore the mist
We carried the haze
Of sluggishness
Of lethargy weighing us down
And now we sink
And now we descend into despair
Master, I see
Guide, I understand
What you say
Your words resonate with truth
But who's that man that comes our way?
Yet, who is the figure approaching us?
He's our passage
He is our means of crossing
Phlegyas
Phlegyas, the ferryman of the damned
In his boat we'll cross this marsh
In his vessel, we will traverse this stagnant mire
YOU
YOU, who are unaware
ARE
ARE indeed
CAUGHT!
TRAPPED!
FOUL SOUL
WRETCHED SPIRIT
NOW
AT THIS MOMENT
YOU
YOU, who suffer

ENSNARED!
Phlegyas, Phlegyas
Phlegyas, the grim ferryman
We're yours no longer
We belong to you only temporarily
Than what it takes to cross
For just the time it requires to navigate
The swamp you're under
The murky waters you inhabit
Who are you come before your time?
What brings you here prematurely?
I've come, but I won't stay, but who are you?
I arrive, yet I shall not linger; thus, who are you?
You see I'm just a poor soul weeping here
I am merely a lamenting spirit, sorrowful and lost
In weeping, grieving may you long remain
In your sorrow and mourning, may you dwell endlessly
I know your name
Your identity is known to me
you indignant dog!
You, insolent creature!
Be off the boat!
Depart from the vessel immediately!
I hope to see your spirit soused within this broth
I wish to witness your essence submerged in this mire
And you dismembered by these sinners praised be God!
And may you be torn asunder by these condemned, bless the Divine!
My dear, oh my dear
Beloved, oh cherished one
You did so well
You have performed admirably
We now have finally reached the lower Hell
At last, we have arrived in the depths of damnation
WELCOME TO DIS
GREETING YOU AT DIS
DIS
THIS PLACE OF PUNISHMENT
WELCOME TO DIS
WE WELCOME YOU TO DIS
TO DIS
TO THIS ABODE OF SORROW
