Impaled Nazarene - Vigorous and Liberating Death (LP)

Review

If you dig any of the band's earlier material, then surely you will find this album to your liking. The production is meaty and allows the blistering material to shine through. I have to give props to Mika Luttinen for his unwavering approach to black metal that has endured this long. While this is a great example of punk-infused, blasting, blistering, no hold barred black metal, the same could be said for the band's entire discography. This blatantly bowls over a large majority of black metal in today's scene and it's impressive that Luttinen's formula is just as potent today as it was in 1990. - Metal Observer 4/5
