Lord Impaler have recently made available a free compilation containing 17 songs or a decade’s worth of music, under the title Demology, The Decade Of Obscurity. Download the compilation at Bandcamp.

The band’s vocalist, Tragon, issued the following statement: “On May 13, 2016, Lord Impaler stepped on a stage for the first time after 16 years. Our previous gig happened in July 2000. We were working hard all these past months to give the best show we could, and I hope we delivered a memorable performance. We met and talked to people attending the show who weren’t even born when we started our journey as a band.

“A journey with ups and downs, with twists and turns. And we wanted them to be able to retrace it, from the first dark days, all the way to making our debut album. So we prepared this compilation. Demology, The Decade Of Obscurity contains all of our demos, plus some unreleased songs. We have treated the sound a bit, to make them listenable, to remove some tape hiss, to bring them to the same volume level, but otherwise we fixed nothing else. This is our history and we are proud of it, because each of these songs has had its role into making us what we are today. This collection is free for anyone who wants to discover Lord Impaler. We hope you will enjoy it.”
