IMPIOUS „“Holy Murder Masquerade””

Sweden’s IMPIOUS has released an intriguing concept album in “Holy Murder Masquerade.” The said album’s 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. The murderer knows he is wrong, but escapes the guilt by hiding behind what his warped mind believes is a “skin mask fashioned from Jesus Christ’s face.” 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.
