Impaled Nazarene (ger .:, gepfählter Nazarene ') is a company incorporated in 1990 extreme metal - band from Finland .
Band history
Impaled Nazarene was founded in November 1990 by Mika Luttinen, Kimmo Luttinen, Mika Pääkkö, Ari Holappa and Antti Pihkala. The band received death threats from Norway from 1992; some of them were attributed to Øystein “Euronymous” Aarseth von Mayhem , who assured us that he had nothing to do with it and had no problem with the band, even though he could not do anything with their music. The band reacted to the threats partly indifferently, partly aggressively and in the supplement of the debut album Tol Cormpt Norz Norz Norz… , which was released in 1992 on Osmose Productions , with insults to the Norwegians ( “No orders from Norway accepted” ) ] and "Kuolema Norjan kusipäille!" ['Death to the Norwegian assholes!']). In addition to this, only the successor Ugra-Karma , released a year later, and the third album Suomi Finland perkele , released in 1994 , which was recorded mixed in the scene , remained of greater importance .
This was followed by Latex Cult in 1996 , Rapture in 1998 , Nihil in 2000 , the barely noticed album Absence of War Does Not Mean Peace in 2001 and All That You Fear in 2003 , the live album Death Comes in 26 Carefully Selected Pieces in 2005 and the controversial work in 2006 Pro patria Finlandia . On the following European tour, which according to Luttinen was “miserable”, “the band almost broke up”. The album Manifest followed in 2007 .
Mika Luttinen was also involved in other projects. In 1994, together with Magus Wampyr Daoloth from Necromantia, the industrial project Diabolos Rising was created , from which the band Raism emerged in 1996. In addition, Mika Luttinen was still involved in the bands The Rocking Dildos and Obscene Eulogy.
Music genre
In the beginning, the band played a similar extreme and chaotic style as the Finnish black metal band Beherit , in which Kimmo Luttinen also played. The music was also comparable to the thrash metal of earlier Sodom works, but with a tendency towards punk and grindcore . The band set themselves apart from black metal, which they saw as a trend, and responded with hostility to interviews that revealed sympathy for the Norwegian scene. Herjulf from Vönger Musikmagazin described the debut album as a "mixture of gunfire-like blastbeat drums, an ultra brutal shredding guitar broadside and the puked vocals" in connection with deep, distorted screams. The short pieces were separated by short interludes .
On Ugra-Karma , the style developed into "somewhat clearer, more sophisticated song structures" and "the rugged punk and grindcore chords" were "replaced by real riffs in many places". In 1994 the band finally released the album Suomi Finland perkele . The music has changed a lot. Mostly slow pieces and semi-ballads shaped the style of the album. Their third album was recorded mixed on the scene.
The band's other albums got faster and harder again. Latex Cult , released in 1996, is heavily punk / hardcore , with all of the band's albums having more or less strong punk / rock influences. The style of the band is described by the Finnish fanzine Isten as "Black-Thrash-Hardcore".
Lyrics and controversy
Originally the band dealt with pure Black Metal topics, on Ugra-Karma there was "a crude gibberish from Hindu mythology, primitive devil worship and all sorts of perversions that are voiced in English, German, Finnish and even Sanskrit (!)". The album was criticized for the song God is Dead . The texts "with their crude jumble of blasphemy, sex, perversion and war show different content-related standards than the classics of Norway and Sweden". Since then, Impaled Nazarene has been criticized for several song titles and lyrics. They have been accused of representing extremely right-wing attitudes. Her interviews, some of which were very exaggerated and ironic, did not exactly help to invalidate the allegations. A political orientation of Impaled Nazarene is denied again and again and is not taken up by the majority of the metal scene .
In 1994, Suomi Finland perkele was followed by a nationalist and allegedly neo-Nazi declaration by the band with the song Total War - Winter War , which refers to the winter war from 1939 to 1940, and which includes the Goebbels quote "Do you want total war?" the sports palace speech begins ( "do you want total war? Yes we want total war" ). This text passage and the drum rhythm are also inspired by NON's Total War .
As a glorification of the Holocaust , people from Antifa circles describe the song Zum Kotzen , in which it says: "I ask you / What is dirt / What is pure shit / I tell you / Der Untermensch " as well as "ai ai ai sub-humans / ai ai ai to puke "and" 1, 2, 3 ... work makes you free / 4, 5, 6 ... to puke ". The slogan “ Work makes you free ” stood at the gates of numerous Nazi concentration camps .
Another criticism was the song Zero Tolerance , in which homosexuals are insulted and despised. Mika Luttinen defended the lyrics in a critical rock-hard interview in 2003 (in which the song was mostly discussed) as "exaggeration" and "provocation". The music for the piece was written by Alexi Laiho ( Children of Bodom ). However, Luttinen also said in the same interview: "Alexi and I are still laughing at the text". The text was listed on the official website and has not been displayed there since the 2006 controversy. However, in an interview with the Frostkamp webzine , Luttinen said that "fagots" have no right to live.
Although the objectionable lyrics were six to ten years old at the time and the band had already been on tour in Germany several times, the band only came under heavy criticism in Germany in 2006. On their European tour in 2006, on which they were accompanied by Stoneman and Master as the opening act, numerous events were canceled by the local organizers. Due to several newspaper articles, especially in left-wing publications, there was fear of pressure from public opinion if an appearance were to take place. At the concerts that took place in 2006, the band played their controversial songs such as "Zero Tolerance" and "Total War - Winter War", despite the ban by the respective organizers and the claim that they had not done this for a long time.
The band and their organizer vehemently defend themselves against these allegations. The relevant quotes have been taken out of context. Furthermore, they relate to the right to artistic freedom and freedom of speech . In the German NSBM zine Iut de Asken , Impaled Nazarene commented as follows: “Those who initiated this shit will ultimately be found and punished with an iron fist. Even if it takes the next 20 years, they will be struck down. "
The album Pro patria Finlandia (according to: 'For Fatherland Finland') , which was released in March 2006, partly underpinned the assumption of a nationalist orientation due to its title and some militaristic songs. A Finnish newspaper refused to conduct an interview with the band and described the title as "fascist". Luttinen then said, however, that he was not patriotic and that the title had no meaning, but that he wanted a Latin title.
The albums Nihil and Latex Cult were subjected to an examination in 2006 at the request of a social worker by the Federal Testing Office for Media Harmful to Young People, which revealed that Nihil was indexed in January 2007 . The assumption that the album Latex Cult is indexed is a misinformation spread even by specialist magazines. The index was described by the band as a "shitty joke" and an example of the violation of fundamental rights in the European Union; it shows that the Germans have "learned nothing from their shitty past [...]".
For the band, a “certain journalist from a well-known magazine” (probably meaning Wolf-Rüdiger Mühlmann from Rock Hard , because of his article The Right Edge in Black Metal ) is primarily responsible for the “witch hunt” (bans on appearing, indexing) by Antifa and the Greens. Politician Christa Jenal . As a reaction, the band released the track You Don't Rock Hard on their current album Manifest , in which the magazine is clearly defamed: “Debil and unstabil / Scheisse brains in control […] You can fucking fuck off / You don't rock hard / You never did " . In an interview for a German webzine, Mika Luttinen denies any connection between song and magazine. Mühlmann wrote in Rock Hard in 2009 that the band had “systematically placed smaller and larger provocations” on their albums, “as a result of which the band is exposed to various allegations of nationalism, (atomic) warmongering or even homophobia. But don't worry, ImpNaz are completely harmless, they just want to play. "
In 2008 an article appeared on Indymedia in which the Party.San , a festival at which right-wing extremist tendencies were undesirable, was criticized because the organizers did not remove Impaled Nazarene from the billing after reproaches were raised. In the same year the band also performed at the Nihil Extreme Metal Festival in Italy. a. with the NSBM band Ad Hominem and the band Frangar, which overlaps with this band. In October 2009 Impaled Nazarene performed at the controversial Fireblade Force Festival in Saxony a. a. with Taake .

Individual evidence
- ↑ a b c d e "[W] e don't see our band as a Black Metal band because nowadays the Black Metal is huge trend. So, uh, we call our music Suomi Perkele… Suomi Finland Perkele Metal which is like this kind of much more hate. In our first LP the lyrics were much more oriented like Black Metal stuff, but on the second LP there is more stuff like Buddhism, there is this kind of, for example there is track called Gott ist tot which the lyrics are in German, and it's not a nazi song, but it's this kind of my own statement of the Israel politics because they are really like fucking up the… these… what the hell they are called, I don't remember, but those who are livin 'there, they are fucking the things up; so it's like, you see it always on the TV, these people are being killed and stuff, and nobody doesn't do anything. So, it's good to make a song then; make your own statement. That's what I have always been thinking, that if you are in a band, you want to make a statement. When you do lyrics, that you say something. […] [T] hat thing ran out of like in 1992. We got lots of death threats from Norway because they were saying that we are false Black Metal or something. It's like I tell them immediately right now that all the Norwegians can fuck off as, as far as we are concerned, because we are, we have beed doing this stuff from 1990, before this whole fucking Black Metal trend even started. Our first bands were in 1990… 1984. And there are these people who are like fucking six / seven years younger than we are, telling to us that we are like 'okay,' cause you are posers that you don't know what you are singing about '. Little children telling these kind of things to us, that's bullshit. But the thing is that there is, there was this band called Burzum who started to burn these churches and they finally killed the vocalist of the Mayhem, and I'm… pf… I don't want to get into that because it's not my concern. The, the same guy who killed Euronymous, wanted to kill me. I don't give a fuck about that. I would have killed him . [...] I know it that we are in ... there are lots of people who want to kill us. For example yesterday night we played in Rotterdam. And we got a lot of death threats. Pf. We are still alive, I'm here. Nobody can fuck with us. I do not care. I mean, it's like, I don't care about any kind of organizations, I don't follow to anybody. I don't have any kind of master. I don't have any kind of god. I don't need to be anybody, I'm myself, I have my own way. How I live. […] It's like, if somebody start to fuck with us, we will fuck back […] two times harder. ”Documentation 666 - At Calling Death .
