Editorial Reviews

Product Description
What can be said about Nazarene that has not been said before? They have been banned, they have been the center of controversy and they are still kicking ass like no tomorrow. Pro Patria Finlandia is Impaled Nazarene's 9th studio album, and was recorded and mixed at Sonic Pump studio by Tapio Pennanen. The album was mastered by Mika Jussila at Finnvox studio. From the album opener 'Weapons To Tame A Land' to the closing 'Hate, Despise, Arrogance', the band makes it clear they are not here to slow down or to wimp out. Packaged in a Digipak. Osmose. 2006. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Metal Man Review" Hyper Speed Metal, November 11, 2006

By	Johnny Thrash "Metal Man57" (Fair Haven, MI) - See all my reviews

I don't do many reviews but I take music seriously. I prefer metalcore and thrash.
I listen too and I have read many reviews and find them not too informative for various reasons.
This is what I prefer from a group:
1. A clean and clear production (I use headpphones so I can catch every sound.) I don't give extra points because a group performs "live" excellently but sucks on their disc.
2. Creativity and originality.
3. My benchmarks are Dew Scented "Inwards" and Carnal Forge "Firedemon". I am a lover of thrash but not Slayer (Slayer fans please do not be offended.)
4. I like guitars "in your face". I can overlook most vocals if the guitar production is there.
So, you want to know what I think about Impaled Nazarene? I think they fall in the category of what I will call "hyper speed" (meaning faster than thrash).
Here is my rating based on 10 out of 10:
1. The production is excellent, the guitars are outstanding. 10 out of 10.
2. The vocals are more like black metal type screechy, which is OK with me but may irritate some. 7 out of 10.
3. Creativity is very good. 9 out of 10.
4. You may or maynot like their super/hyper fast sound. I like it and that is a 10 out of 10 for me.
I listen to and buy many discs. The other group that comes to mind and is hyper spped is "Hellshock" but their production/clarity was not as good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not for the average metal listener... but for the more insane., November 1, 2008

By	Plagueofsevendeaths (In the only state were Hell can freeze over.) - See all my reviews

If you have never listened to black metal before, Impaled Nazarene is not for you. These guys have been banned in many countries, and just listen to one of there CD's and you will understand why. With Pro patria finlandia, they don't hold back anything. For some odd reason, I love this CD. Many of these songs get stuck in my head (and they will in your). They have been more defined as a blackened-punk band, and it does suit them very well. Very catchy choruses, reminds me somewhat of Dark Fortress at times.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Hyper Speed Death Metal, November 15, 2006

By	Fred Rayworth (Las Vegas, NV United States) - See all my reviews

I picked this up the other day and really didn't know what to expect. I've heard of the band for years but didn't know their exact genre or where they were from.

Thankfully, they are not a metal core, hard core, or nu-metal band. They are brutal and fast death metal. One could say the songs are generic death metal but I found their sound interesting in that they actually sneaked in a guitar solo or two in spots. They have some great riffing, and the vocals are not annoying or totally Cookie Monster. I could actually understand some of the lyrics though I don't really care what they are singing about as much as I like the articulated vocal noises.

The band may be considered old school and kind of generic, but I found that I really like their sound, and the flashes they throw in there to make it interesting. It'll be on my must play list for a while. Recommended.
