Features:
IMPALED NAZARENE – the fuck off attitude of the Finns is simply infectious and indicative of a posture that is usually spread across extreme fans. The scene might have evolved during the past 3 decades, especially the black metal one where they suit best, but the non-conformists have the very same essence that pushed them to become one of the most extreme bands in the first place. For many the words “Norz Norz Norz” might not stand for much, but for the quartet they mean everything!
