Finnish arch-priests of sonic torment Impaled Nazarene are gearing up for their new, 12th album which shall bear the title Vigorous And Liberating Death. The band have finished recordings and a release date has been set for 14 April 2014 by Osmose Productions.
The successor to 2010’s Road To The Octagon is bound to be a new tour-de-force by a band that have mastered the technique all-too-well.
