Impaled Nazarene - Pro Patria Finlandia Review

Nine albums into their career the Finnish band Impaled Nazarene is at the top of their game. They've perfected their brand of black metal flavored with thrash. It's extreme, but still has a good groove. Shock value is something they strive for as well, which coming from a band called Impaled Nazarene isn't too surprising. You'll hear some fairly intense lyrics and song titles such as "Goat Sodomy." It's a good combination of brutality and melody.
