Metal Man Review" Hyper Speed Metal

"I don't do many reviews but I take music seriously. I prefer metalcore and thrash.

I listen too and I have read many reviews and find them not too informative for various reasons.

This is what I prefer from a group:

1. A clean and clear production (I use headpphones so I can catch every sound.) I don't give extra points because a group performs "live" excellently but sucks on their disc.

2. Creativity and originality.

3. My benchmarks are Dew Scented "Inwards" and Carnal Forge "Firedemon". I am a lover of thrash but not Slayer (Slayer fans please do not be offended.)

4. I like guitars "in your face". I can overlook most vocals if the guitar production is there.

So, you want to know what I think about Impaled Nazarene? I think they fall in the category of what I will call "hyper speed" (meaning faster than thrash).

Here is my rating based on 10 out of 10:

1. The production is excellent, the guitars are outstanding. 10 out of 10.

2. The vocals are more like black metal type screechy, which is OK with me but may irritate some. 7 out of 10.

3. Creativity is very good. 9 out of 10.

4. You may or maynot like their super/hyper fast sound. I like it and that is a 10 out of 10 for me.

I listen to and buy many discs. The other group that comes to mind and is hyper spped is "Hellshock" but their production/clarity was not as good.
