Impaled Nazarene - Pro Patria Finlandia

This album is pretty good! If you're not familiar with the band, the title might give you the wrong impression. One might think they're NS.....and the lyrics to "I Wage War" wouldn't help their case either lol.
But to me, I think the content is drawn from the social state of Finland possibly/maybe?
"Goat Sodomy" is probably my favourite track on the record. Very raw, very chaotic, this album crushes

I think it is more of a patriotic/nationalistic album rather than NS. Let's not lump all albums with a nationalistic tendency into nazism, it would be unfair. I've seen many folk metal bands with songs having a patriotic tendency or even revizionist ones, but not NS. There is a sort of fear regarding all nationalist tendencies nowadays, but I do not find anything bad in its moderate form. People should love their country, I do believe so.

Huge difference between patriotism and National Socialism.

A very upbeat album (not in the sense that it's positive or anything, just that the pace keeps your heart rate going for sure), mainly due to the slightly more animated vocals at work here. The production is beefier but generally the consistency is maintained meaning that some of the album's best songs are near the end ("Contempt", "I Wage War"). Possibly IN's best album, though only by a margin.
