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.

Rush
Poisonblack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For I know you'll swallow the whole of my pain
I'm stepping out of the light to feel what darkness can sow
I stare at the dead red lie...just one glance and I know
All disguised beneath the smile of the temptress, siren, evil child
The devil's sweetest whore
Cause you're making me feel so alive
Cause it's only the end of the suffering and I?m drowning in this rush
I was down, now flying...going nowhere fast
There's no denying I need this feeling to last
I breathe in and get higher and the ache fades from sharp to dull
The knives of desire...I feel them all
A thousand cuts still leave me cold
Give me more this soul's been sold and I hope this time I won't wake up dead
Don't blame yourself for what you can't ignore? Don't blame yourself for wanting more and more
Flesh on flesh raising breaths on breaths
I love the rush of death...
The lyrics of "Rush" by Poisonblack describe a complicated and somewhat dangerous relationship, where the singer is drawn to a woman who is both tempting and evil. Despite the pain and darkness this woman brings him, the singer can't resist her allure and continues to follow her. He feels alive in her presence, even though it may ultimately lead to his demise. The singer seems to know he is walking a dangerous path, as indicated by references to the devil, knives of desire, and the rush of death. However, he is unable to resist this woman's power over him, and chooses to drown in the rush.
The lyrics are quite vivid and descriptive, painting a picture of a relationship that is both intense and destructive. The use of metaphor and imagery is particularly effective, with references to darkness, fire, and knives highlighting the dangers of this relationship. The singer also seems to have a sense of resignation, as if he knows his fate is inevitable but is powerless to change it.
Overall, "Rush" is a powerful and haunting song that explores the complexities of attraction, desire, and danger. It is a reminder that sometimes the things that draw us in can also kill us in the end.

I met Ville about three years ago here in Italy. He was smoking a joint after the concert and I went up for an autograph. I ended up chatting with him for something like fifteen minutes! Really friendly and down to earth!

Century Media Records Hi guys, this is Poisonblack's most viewed music video, with close to 3 million views, could you perhaps consider posting it officially in higher quality than 240p? :)
@sonicriot5972
@century media records .... this resolution is still a shame, just 4 your info :)
@Pe5ukarhu
R.I.P. Sentenced
@adrianamorphous
I doubt it exists in a higher resolution tbh
@cyberhaggis
I guess they'll have to reshoot it... can't get what is not there.
And I guess they just can't be bothered on spending money on a 15 year old song.
@heidisuni7354
@Ådrian Amorphøus It just needs to be digitized in higer resolution from original analog material.
