I did buy a ton of albums without having ever heard one second of the bands - case in point: Impaled Nazarene. I had to know how sounded a band with such a name and such an album title (Ugra Karma, my first encounter with these dudes) so I risked the corresponding Deutsch Marks and mailed my order to Lost & Found with actual bank notes. Three or four weeks later, package delivered and exhilarating ecstasy instantly possessed this present meat. Impaled Nazarene was exactly what the doctor ordered: raw black thrashing punk grinding madness!!! 30 years later, I am still in awe, IN never deeply changed or the evolution was too subtle for me. Sure, some albums are less punk or more black metal than others, but they all convey this particular IN vibe of destruction not without sort of a melodic approach in the riffs (not in the vocals!). The thrash metal riffing is always present, the punk influence always lurks from beneath the body of a fulfilled nun, the Motörizing rears its warty head here and there, the black metal destruction is permanent, this is true evil crossover headbanging bliss. The new album does not betray this decades old tradition, on the contrary: it may very well be their best sonic attack to date, a true world class black thrashing killdozer! All hail the triplazering invincible Impaled Nazarene forever at the center of the zeriverse! Remove brackets and unzip: [inhaled nazerene] !ZER Impaled Nazarene ZER!
