Impaled Nazarene is a Finnish black metal band that incorporates elements
from thrash metal, hardcore punk and grindcore. The band is signed to
Osmose Productions of France.
When asked about the origin of their name, Mika Luttinen stated in an
interview that he had read a pamphlet about Christ appearing to be a
vampire. He got to thinking on how impaling a vampire is one of the only
ways to kill them, and thus, thought of the name "Impaled Nazarene".
The band has been infamous for seeming to hate the Norwegian black metal
scene back in the early 1990s but nowadays, the band seems to disassociate
with such hatred. They also stopped wearing corpse paint in the mid 1990s
due to it being "too trendy".
In 2003, guitarist Teemu Raimoranta died falling - or jumping - off a
bridge on the frozen water below. Although officially stated to be caused
by intoxication, Mika Luttinen speculated it was suicide.
