Disgrace ( founded '87 ) was one of the oldest death metal bands from Finland and pretty much started the Finnish death metal scene together with local band Xysma. Band recorded two demos 1990 which were titled "Beyond The Immortalized Existence" and "Inside the Labyrinth of Depression". Next year (1991) the signed in Seraphic Decay in America and recorded "Debts of Gods" EP.
The band finally recorded their first
LP ,"Grey Misery" in 92', after two demos and one EP. After Grey Misery bands style changed to more punk rock oriented style, in which they have remained till this far. Disgrace's musical and lyrical themes were pretty independent from the mainstream DM going on. Lyrical themes dealt with obscure and depressive themes in a phantasy coloured worlds with lots of symbolism involved. Musically they remained pretty surprising; progressive and swinging, by still not forgetting the DM riffs and melody. This is the closing track of this magnificent gem
Lyrics :
In arid lands
The roots of men are mouldering
In the depth of mud
Surrounded by rotting bulrushes
A black unforeseen lake
It rinses me, sand calls me towards ruins
Immortality's open lake
The kingdom of gulls
Dead fish
As a food of mind
Red eyes gaze
Bleakly at my neck... immortality?
And the rain washes rainbow down
I scrull to it, examinate a net
It twind from your hair
Curls dyed by bottom mud
Only the dead hear
The sigh of the sentenced
Who are inside the rounded rocks
In a mender stream
A day follows another
An engulfing red time
The red has spoiled my hands
And a sign is on my forehead
Maybe lunacy was my force
Buy you knew it
A dismal everyday, endless agony...
Please kill me!
Spin my remains
Burn them inside the circle
Take me away, apprehension
And bury me with cellophane flowers...
