	Impaled Nazarene - Black Metal
		Perhaps the most fascist-sounding fl metal ever created, this music works by creating streams of melody which conquer various spaces of sound, causing them to be calibrated to the marchlike robotic percussion which drives the mechanistic and violent aspect of the music forward.
		Although this is blasting, vile, heretical and obscene fl metal in both its contents and the structures of its creation, this is also first class fl metal art in its total commitment to the abyss and to the pessimism and destructive angst which that slow suicide march entails.
		Reigning in what was essentially a jaunt into their roots, Impaled Nazarene have combined their punkish explosive music with some of the subtler harmonizations and melodic techniques of fl metal, producing a fl hardcore album that rants a fury which has been unmatched by these crazed Finns since.
