IMPALED NAZARENE

Livers Of Steel

- Your favourite track in the album?
It depends on the day, currently I’m crazy about “Original Pig Rig” in which I made grind core vocals for the first time. It sounds fucking good! I also love its sick text, I came up with an idea for it when I was sitting and thinking about the crucifixion. The other song I’m excited about is “Pandemia”. It comprises a certain message addressed to Italian Catholics. I’m sure we’ll be fucked up again (laugh).

- Do you practice foreign languages?
Basically no, however, I try to be able to swear in each of them. It’s a universal language, everyone understands it (laugh). But I have to brush up Polish when I get a chance, as the only word I know is “kurrrrwa”.

- So you know the basis. IMPALED NAZARENE exists continuously since 1990 and, frankly speaking, after all those years of spreading blasphemy and perversion, after such a dose of alcoholic and drug experiences it’s a fucking miracle that you’re able to stand your feet, let alone other things. Are all Fins such hard fuckheads?
I don’t know if all but for sure part of us has livers of steel (laugh). We like to party but we don’t do it everyday, as some people certainly think. I usually drink rather rarely but when we play a gig or go on tour I like to have a drop of a hard stuff to feel better. Before gigs we try not to drink too much in order to come off well. But when it’s over, I hardly ever go out of after-party on my own. Especially as the alcohol is usually for free then and we really don’t like wasting (laugh).
