IMPIOUS „Holy Murder Masquerade”
Swedens IMPIOUS has released an intriguing concept album in Holy Murder Masquerade. The said albums lyrics are all connected conceptually in a slasher story of a deranged lunatic who goes about erasing his blood line because he believes he was spawn from evil.

IMPIOUS could have related this story in conventional fashion, with the lyrics printed in white font; instead, the group conveys the lyrics through comic book illustrations.
