Interview with Sacrilegous Impalment done by Patrick
1.Hails When did you all meet? Was it long before you all formed Sacrilegious Impalement ? How did you all come up with the name for the band?
Hells! Pretty boring and normal route of forming a band to tell actually, I don´t know how the hell other bands allways have fullmoons and werewolves and goblins lurking in the shadows and all, ours wasn´t like that. It was in late 2005 when I decided it is time to put this idea of band I´ve had in mind for years in action. I was already playing in Evil Angel, but I needed a bit more. At around that time Kaosbringer moved to my hometown Lahti. I already knew him from Neutron Hammer and I was impressed about the vocal range he could pull after seeing Neutron Hammer playing at a local bar. We started to speak about music and bands at Toolouds home where we were having few drinks. I told that I was starting a band and looking for a vocalist. Luckily Kaosbringer was looking for a band too from Lahti. We spoke about the directions and ambitions and had mutual interests how to work a black metal band. For few first years it was just us and session drummers. Tooloud, also from Evil Angel, came later to play bass. Revenant came in as a permanent drummer in 2009 or 2010 and has been a big part of the work since.
I came up with the name.
2.What is the current line-up of Sacrilegious Impalement ? The band formed in 2006 how do you feel Sacrilegious Impalement´s music has changed since you all formed the band?
Wrathprayer - Vocals, Impaler Von Bastard - Guitars, Tooloud - Bass, Revenant - Drums, Asassin - Guitar (live). We are now playing live with Kaosbringer again, atleast for few gigs. How the music have changed? You tell me! I have always tried to write the next song a bit different than the previous and sometimes they vary so much we almost cannot speak about a same band, you know. Like from "II - Exalted Spectres", just compare songs like "Blessed to Resist" to "Aletheia" to "Grand Funeral Convoy". Ofcourse every vocalist have had different impact on our music as I have kept in mind what kind of songs would suit them when writing the music.
3. Sacrilegious Impalement recently released a cd through Black Plague Rec and Satanath Rec. titled "First Three Nails" which contains your early demo's.How did you and the labels decide to release the early demo's onto one cd?
We were playing in St.Petersburg, Russia a while ago and there I met the owner of Satanath Records (rus). He wanted to release a compilation of our old out of press/sold out records in one CD and I had nothing against doing it. Later on Desert of Death (rus) and Black Plague Records (us) were involved too.
4.Besides the new cd "First Three Nails" does the band have any other merchandise available for the readers? If yes where can the fans buy it from?

6. What have been some of your most memorable shows to date? Has Sacrilegious Impalement ever played outside of Finland? If yes where?
It is the art which I can relate and channel my work from the unknown the most. Rebel spirit.
Thank you. Our previous label Hammer of Hate have just released thru KVLT a compilation of exclusive songs recorded just for this compilation. We have a song called "Welcome Labyrinthian" featured. It was recorded in 2012 and it was the last recordings of Hellwind Inferion with the band. Besides us, there´s exclusive songs from Behexen, Enochian Crescent, Azaghal and many more. Check it out, you can´t find these songs from anywhere else.
So many memorable, but I´ll share these. We were asked to replace MARDUK as a headliner of FireBox Metal fest III in 2010. MARDUK had to cancell becouse the volcano erupted in Iceland and the ash in the air over Europe forced the aeroplains to stay in ground. Well anyway, we had to take this gig in few hours and we managed to get there to play. After the gig we went to the backstage and there was a full fight going on with many people just fighting around the place. Pigs blood got mixed with human blood..
A month ago we were playing at Pori and we were shouted to come back for encore. We went back to the stage and started to play. The audience went crazy with "Behead the Infants of god" and then I saw that a fucking Jack Sparrow impersonator came to the stage. Few moments and I saw him back in the audience having his ass kicked by the others.
Not so many abroad gigs yet, London and St.Petersburg.
7.What does Black Metal mean to you?
It is the art which I can relate and channel my work from the unknown the most. Rebel spirit.
8.Sacrilegious Impalement comes out of Finlands black metal scene what is your opinion of Finland's black metal scene?
