About the Artist
IMPIOUS was formed in 1994 by Valle Adzic and Martin Åkesson. Later that year Robin Sörqvist joined the band. After releasing two demos with session drummers, IMPIOUS finally found Ulf Johansson, their first permanent drummer. The band recorded another demo in 1997 which resulted in a deal with Black Sun Records. The band released two albums on Black Sun and did a short tour of Holland and Belgium. A couple of years later the contract was fulfilled and the band signed a deal with Dutch label Hammerheart Records. With a new line-up, IMPIOUS recorded and released the album "The Killer" and the MCD "The Deathsquad" on Hammerheart. That's when things started to happen for real. IMPIOUS toured Europe with NECROPHOBIC and SATARIEL and proved to be an extremely powerful live act. One of the shows basically led to a contract offer from Metal Blade Records. Damn right, IMPIOUS signed with Metal Blade and released the album "Hellucinate" in 2004 which lead to two European tours with AMON AMARTH, several festival appearances in Europe and Japan, and one Japanese tour with THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER. In the autumn of 2006 the band recorded "Holy Murder Masquerade" at Studio Deadline, which is owned by band member Valle Adzic. It's been a while since the last album... but IMPIOUS are back stronger and more powerful than ever!!!

Customer Reviews

Nowhere near as great as "HELLUCINATE"
I was very dissapointed with this release. After discovering this band only a couple months ago with "Hellucinate", I was expecting an unrelenting and ferocious new cd. While it's not terrible by any means, it just doesn't even compare to "Hellucinate". The intensity of this one is nothing compared to the last one, and the songs become monotonous by the end of the disc. If you are new to this band, get "Hellucinate" and don't look back.

A story of murder and berayel in pure metal form!!!
I stumbled across this artist and album on the shelf at a cd store. I took a chance and loved it from the first song I heard. I loved the whole album the first time, but then after listening more closely the second time I realized it was a story of death. An addicting to listen to story of death on a metal soundtrack. I loved it even more after that. This album is unique in the way it flows and I highly recommend it. It will definitely hook anyone willing to really listen. I will be buying more albums from Impious in the future.
