Poisonblack released it's first album, 'Escapextacy' in 2003, on which Charon singer Juha-Pekka Leppäluoto is featured on lead vocals. The album was a minor hit at best, and Laihiala resumed activity in Sentenced after its release. However after the breakup of Sentenced in 2005, Laihiala resurrected Poisonblack and sang lead vocals himself this time. The resulting album, 'Lust Stained Despair' (2006), was a huge success, reaching number two on the Finnish albums chart.
Since then, the band has released four albums, 'A Dead Heavy Day' (2008), 'Of Rust and Bones' (2010), 'Drive' (2011) and 'Lyijy' (2013), all featuring a more heavy, rock and less melancholic sound.

Illusion
Poisonblack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still I miss her so and for more I weep
And she gives me death yet I'm alive
Craving eternally, on her I thrive
We are one, we are the same
Burning with brightest flame
A catatonic thing that should not be
You are the sweet delusion yet you feel so real
For all these wounds I have only you can heal
And she buries me down far too deep
Yet six-feet high and gives me bliss to keep
And she abuses me yet I abide
She's in demand, my hunger I cannot hide
These lyrics from Poisonblack's song "Illusion" describe a complex and intense relationship between the singer and a woman who embodies both life and death. The singer is cradled to sleep by this woman, and yet misses her intensely when she's not there. He experiences both death and life through her, and craves her constantly.
The singer considers himself a strange illusion that doesn't feel quite real, while the woman is a sweet delusion that feels all too real. He describes his wounds that only she can heal, despite the fact that she also buries him deep and abuses him. Despite all this, the singer remains bound to her, unable to deny his hunger for her.
This relationship is clearly toxic and unhealthy, as the singer experiences both intense pleasure and pain at the hands of this woman. The lyrics paint a picture of addiction and obsession, as the singer cannot break free from the hold she has over him. The use of the words "illusion" and "delusion" highlight the idea that this relationship is based on a false perception of reality, with both the singer and the woman being trapped in their own distorted perceptions of each other.
Overall, "Illusion" is a haunting and powerful song that explores the darker sides of love and desire.

And she cradles me down into sleep
Even though she is gone, I remember the way she held me close and sang me to sleep
Still I miss her so and for more I weep
I can't stop thinking about her and my heart is broken
And she gives me death yet I'm alive
Although she has left me, I feel like I am living a half-life without her
Craving eternally, on her I thrive
I am addicted to her and my life feels incomplete without her
We are one, we are the same
We were once inseparable and I still feel like a part of her
Burning with brightest flame
Our passion was intense and consuming
I am the strange illusion, don't feel too real
I feel like I am living in a dream and that reality is slipping away from me
A catatonic thing that should not be
Without her, I feel immobile and powerless, like I shouldn't exist
You are the sweet delusion yet you feel so real
Even though I know I should let her go, she still feels like the only real thing in my life
For all these wounds I have only you can heal
I am damaged and broken, and I know I can only find salvation through her
And she buries me down far too deep
Sometimes the pain of our separation feels overwhelming and suffocating
Yet six-feet high and gives me bliss to keep
Even in death, I believe we will be reunited and find everlasting happiness
And she abuses me yet I abide
Despite her faults, I cannot help but love her and remain loyal to her memory
She's in demand, my hunger I cannot hide
In a world that seems indifferent to my pain, my yearning for her is the only constant in my life
