History & Biography
Sacrilegious Impalement is a black metal band hailing from Lahti, Finland, formed in 2006. Their music is characterized by a raw, aggressive sound with lyrical themes revolving around Satanism, death, and blasphemy. Kaosbringer was the singer between 2006 and 2010. The band replaced Marduk at FireBox Metal fest III in 2010. Marduk could not fly to the show due to an Icelandic volcano erupting and making flights a hazard. Drummer Asassin left 2010, rejoined on guitar in 2013 and took over the drums again in 2020. Drummer Revenant had left in 2020. In the meantime, the band had quickly established itself in the Finnish underground scene with their early demos and the 2007 EP Sacrilegious Impalement. Total Annihilation was the name for the 2006 demo.
The debut full-length, Cultus Nex, was released through Hammer Of Hate Records in 2009. The band followed up with Exalted Spectres in 2011 and III - Lux Infera arrived in 2013. Sacrilegious Impalement played notable festivals such as the NSBM-associated Steelfest Open Air (2013 and 2015) and toured with acts like Behexen and Horna. First Three Nails was a 2015 demo compilation. The band had played in Russia and met the owner of Satanath there who had suggested the idea. The fourth album was IV - Infinite Victor, which was released in 2023, which was a decade after its predecessor. Songs originally meant for Sacrilegious Impalement were deemed more suitable for a new act and the singer and guitarist founded Front. Woodcut rereleased the first two records in 2025.

Everyone is in a dozen acts so the band is a side-project. Songs originally meant for Sacrilegious Impalement were deemed more suitable for a new act and the singer and guitarist founded Front around 2015. The members' aliases paint a picture and include Revenant, Asassin (sic), Tooloud, Mauler, Kaosbringer, Wrath, etc.
