Impaled Nazarene – Vigorous And Liberating Death (2014)

October 31, 2024

UGH what a vigorous and liberating return to form, amirite???

I could just tell from the artwork alone, before pressing play, that I was going to like this one! It shows a correcting course for Impaled Nazarene; not that I believe they have ever put a foot wrong. It’s just disgusting primitive savages such as myself have an unquenchable thirst for caveman material such as earlier Impaled Nazarene, and whilst V&LD is not a step backwards to that style, it is indeed a kind of reinvention of some of those elements alongside the sound that the band has been building for the last couple of decades.

A pleasure to hear!
