November 1990: Impaled Nazarene formed. The first line-up is Mika Luttinen-vocals, Kimmo Luttinen-drums, Mika Pääkkö-guitar, Ari Holappa-guitar and Antti Pihkala-bass. The band starts rehearsing their own material, first ever I.N. song written is Condemned To Hell. The band also starts playing The Crucified & Morbid Fate, both old Mutilation tracks (Previous band of Luttinen bros.) February 1991: Impaled Nazarene records their first rehearsal demo tape Shemhamforash. Sound is downright horrible due to the fact it was recorded with a two-track deck. Antti Pihkala is replaced with Harri Halonen on bass. April 1991: First show, opening for Beherit in Kempele, Finland. Summer 1991: Impaled Nazarene plays their 2nd show w/ Sentenced. The band enters TicoTico studio in Kemi in August to record their first official studio demo tape Taog Eht Fo Htao Eht and starts to gain name in the underground circles.

The great thing about youthful enthusiasm and fledgling genres is the unrestrained inventiveness and lack of rules. No one had told Impaled Nazarene that black metal vocals had to be hissed or screeched. The bass player was actually allowed to turn up his amp, and these guys sound like they enjoyed what they were doing.

True, ‘Tol Cormpt Norz Norz Norz’ is kind of hard to understand at first, but then remember first listening to Napalm Death’s ‘From Enslavement To Obliteration’ or Repulsion’s ‘Horrified’. It’s fast and tangled, and the chaos takes a while to assume any sort of order, but it grows on you.

While much black metal of the time covered musical shortcomings with bargain basement production, the sound here is pretty clear, for this style of music. The guitar work is nothing short of phenomenal, and only the very best of the genre, like Mayhem and Emperor could match it.

The goat obsession adds a touch of humour to proceedings. Sure, the goat references are names of Satan, and meant seriously, but try listening to the sound effects and cut-ups used without laughing. It detracts a bit from the music, but it fills the album out and provides a buffer between tracks. And anyway, trying to sort one track from another is pointless- this needs to be experienced as a whole, not as individual tracks. That said, the perverse and insane “Goat Perversion” stands on it’s own.

Mika Luttinen’s vocals are insane, and anyone who has ever seen the band live will understand the insanity. Veins bulge on his shaven head. Sweat drips from his brow. His eyes are blank, focused on something the rest of us can’t see, like the man is in need of an exorcism. That exact feel is almost perfectly transferred in the studio.

There are more sensible and easier to understand albums out there, but few black metal releases have ever been so much fun. It’s enough to make a true black metaller drop his plastic sword with surprise.
