This is a review of an earlier recording from Finland's Sacrilegious Impalement which shows the music going for a raw, satanic and misanthropic style of black metal and the album was origianlly released in 2011 and called "II -Exalted Spectres" which was re-issued in 2021 as a joint effort between Satanath, Desert of Death and MAT Records.
Heavy yet melodic riffing starts off the album along with some grim black metal screams a few seconds later. Middle Eastern style chants can also be heard briefly on one of the tracks while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the solos and leads are also done in a very dark, chaotic yet melodic style. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with a couple of tracks tracks also adding in a brief use of clean playing as well as a brief use of whispers and spoken word parts but keeping the main focus on a heavier style.
On this recording Sacrilegious Impalement remained true to t he raw, misanthropic and satanic black metal style of t heir previous releases. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover Misanthropy, Anti Christianity, Anti Islam, Satanism, Death and Destruction themes.
In my opinion this was another great sounding album from Sacrilegious Impalement and if you are a fan of raw, misanthropic and satanic black metal, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Blessed To Resist" "The Woods in A Solitary Soul" and "Grand Funeral Convoy". 8 out of 10.
