1. The Vicious was formed by Robert Petterson (Regulations, The Lost Patrol Band) on vocals and André Sandström (ex. D.S.-13 and The Lost Patrol Band) on drums. They recruited Sara Almgren (ex. The (International) Noise Conspiracy) on guitar and Andreas Johansson (Cult of Luna) on bass. I August '06 Andreas left the band and was replaced by Erik (who also sings in the band Insurgent Kid).
In early 2005 they recorded their first 7", Suicidal Generation, for Cage Match Federation. The 7" got rave reviews and the first press was quickly sold out.
In late summer 2005 they went into the studio to record a 12" together with Stefan Granberg from Randy. The six songs are a great reminder of the days when punk rock was punk rock and it echoes the sound of bands like The Damned, Dead Boys, Sex Pistols and such. The 12" was released on Ny Våg Records.
In late 2006, the "Alienated" LP was recorded, along with the songs that would be released on the "Obsessive" single. Both are available together on a CD, or separately on vinyl, from Feral Ward records.
The Vicious broke up. Almost all members went to form band Masshysteri.
2. The Dutch band "The Vicious" founded by Loes, Willem, Rob and Lise. Recorded 3 songs during October 2007 at Blazin´ Studios. They are called: "A Year Of Waterdaughters", "The Green eyed Monster" and "Whirlwind". There is more to come from this band. More info on http://www.myspace.com/theviciousband
Sanity
The Vicious Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
this creeping crawling feeling inside
of me. My hands are shaking while
Im trying to breathe
is this what they call insanity?
I live under the ground where noone
hears you scream. Theres no escape
from the boredom here.
me the creeps is this what they
call insanity?
I dont believe in sanity
The lyrics to The Vicious's song Sanity explore the inner turmoil and mental struggles of the singer. In the first verse, the singer describes feeling a boiling sensation in their brain that they can no longer hide. They also experience physical symptoms such as shaking hands and difficulty breathing. These sensations lead them to question whether or not they are experiencing insanity. The second verse delves deeper into the singer's state of mind, as they describe living in an isolated and stagnant environment that drives them to question their own sanity. The lyrics conclude with the singer stating that they do not believe in sanity, implying that their struggles with their mental health have led them to view the concept of sanity as a social construct or falsehood.
Throughout the song, The Vicious use powerful and evocative language to convey the singer's mental state. The use of vivid imagery, such as the boiling brain and silent neighbourhood, creates a palpable sense of unease and tension. The repetition of the phrase "is this what they call insanity?" highlights the singer's uncertainty and confusion about their experiences. Altogether, the lyrics to Sanity offer a haunting and raw portrayal of the complexities of mental health.
