June 19, 2007, 17 years ago
Finnish extreme black metallers IMPALED NAZARENE have issued the following update:
"Tuomio (Louhio - guitar) has decided to step aside from Impaled Nazarene. His decision is personal and we thank him for everything he did with us the last four years and wish him the best of luck for his future adventures. Tomi UG Ullgren is our new lead guitarist, many of you have already witnessed him with us on stage as he has been a session member of this band since 2000, done various tours with us etc. This change will not affect any of our forthcoming shows.We have now finished recording vocals of our new album Manifest. Sounds fucking killer. Manifest will be mixed at Sonic Pump studio by Tapio Pennanen at late July and mastered at Finnvox studio by Mika Jussila mid August. We also decided with Osmose that Manifest will be put out as double 10" vinyl instead of normal 12". We will now start working on cover and lay-out with our house artist Ritual."
Manifest, due out in October via Osmose, features the following tracklisting (not in any order): 'Intro: Greater Wrath', 'The Antichrist Files', 'Pandemia', 'Mushroom Truth', 'Die Insane', 'Blueprint For Your Culture's Apocalypse', 'Funeral For Despicable Pigs', 'Goat Justice', 'Dead Return', 'Suicide Song', 'Pathogen', 'The Calling', 'Planet Nazarene', 'You Don't Rock Hard', 'When Violence Commands The Day', 'Original Pig Rig'.
According to a recent band update, "this album is definitely the most varied one since Suomi Finland Perkele. Even more than said SFP. We have slow shit, fast shit, rocking shit. Shit that will kick your ass. Some surprises for sure. Lyrically, in case you did not guess, this one deals with all possible bullshit we have faced during the last couple of years."
