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 we're in the centre
Now we walk on frozen glass
This will end our venture
Who are you who trample me?
Is this further vengeance?
Dante: And who are you so roughly speak?
Tell me and help your sentence
Whatever you offer I don't care
Keep your words, be off your way
(Bocca! Quiet!)
You will have to name yourself
Or I'll make sure to clear your head!
So that's why you've been trying to hide
(Too bad!)
Oh I very well know who you were
(Bocca!)
I have no words to share with you
(Traitor!)
Let's go!
What is that sage, two joint frozen shades?
One silenced, other chewing his head
Oh you who show, with such bestial sign
All your hatred for this tainted one
Tell me your cause, if I see it fair,
I shall repay you with fame up on Earth
Count Ugolino once I was
And this Ruggieri, a Christian man
In Hunger Tower, we were trapped
My poor four children, how they cried
Days passed but not their pain
Tower earned its name
I had to watch them die
And their bodies
Were claimed by mine
Were claimed by mine!
Father why you cry?
Why're we here? Are we alone? What is gonna happen?
Father don't you cry
We belong to you
Please take our flesh and end it
Father we will die
We love you, we are in pain
Why will you not help me?
All these frozen tears
Master tell me how
This wind
Is blowing
You're about to see
SATAN SATAN
You will find him busy

Masticating Judas
BROWN FACE BROWN FACE
Chewing Brutus maybe
WHITE FACE WHITE FACE

Lo duca e io per quel cammino ascoso
Intrammo a ritornar nel chiaro mondo
E sanza cura aver d'alcun riposo
Salimmo sù, el primo e io secondo
Tanto ch'i' vidi de le cose belle
Che porta 'l ciel, per un pertugio tondo
E quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle
The lyrics of Pervy Perkin's "Worm Angel" are rich in symbolism and draw inspiration from Dante's "Inferno," particularly the encounter with Count Ugolino in the ninth circle of Hell. The song delves into themes of betrayal, vengeance, and suffering, with intricate storytelling woven throughout the verses.
The opening lines describe a descent into the darkest depths, symbolizing a moment of confrontation and reckoning. The imagery of walking on frozen glass speaks to the precariousness and fragility of the situation, hinting at an inevitable finale to a journey or venture embarked upon.
The dialogue between characters, likely reflecting Dante conversing with the souls of the damned, reveals a tense exchange of identities and past grievances. The references to historical figures like Count Ugolino and Ruggieri trapped in the Hunger Tower, with Ugolino forced to witness the death of his children, add layers of tragedy and remorse to the narrative.
The culmination of the lyrics involves a surreal and intense depiction of encountering Satan in the circle of traitors, with vivid descriptions of his features and the eternal punishment of betrayers. The repeated chants of "Treason" echo the themes of deceit and disloyalty, underscoring the consequences of turning against one's own kind.
Overall, "Worm Angel" encapsulates a harrowing journey through darkness and betrayal, drawing parallels to Dante's journey through Hell and exploring the complexities of sin and retribution. The lyrics invite listeners to reflect on themes of justice, forgiveness, and the consequences of one's actions in a vivid and immersive narrative.

Now we've reached the darkest dark
We have reached the depths of despair
Now we're in the centre
We are in the heart of darkness
Now we walk on frozen glass
We traverse treacherous terrain
This will end our venture
This journey will come to an end
Who are you who trample me?
Who are you to oppress me?
Is this further vengeance?
Is this punishment justified?
Dante: And who are you so roughly speak?
And who are you to speak so harshly?
Tell me and help your sentence
Reveal yourself and explain your actions
Whatever you offer I don't care
I am indifferent to your words
Keep your words, be off your way
Do not speak, just leave
You will have to name yourself
You must identify yourself
Or I'll make sure to clear your head!
Or I will remove your ignorance
So that's why you've been trying to hide
I understand why you have been avoiding the truth
Oh I very well know who you were
I am aware of your past actions
I have no words to share with you
I have nothing to say to you
Let's go!
Let us move on from this confrontation
One silenced, other chewing his head
One is quiet while the other ponders
Tell me your cause, if I see it fair
Explain your reason, if I find it just
I shall repay you with fame up on Earth
I will honor your story on the worldly stage
Father why you cry?
Why do you weep, father?
Why will you not help me?
Why won't you assist me?
All these frozen tears
These tears of sorrow
Master tell me how
Guide me through this confusion
This wind
This force of change
You're about to see
Prepare yourself for what is to come

Che porta 'l ciel, per un pertugio tondo
That the sky carries through a round opening
E quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle
And from there we emerged to see the stars
