 IMPIETY's
diabolical birth began in January 1990 with : Shyaithan
(bass/vocals), Xul (guitars) and Iblyss (battery) under heavy influences of SODOM, early
BATHORY, early POSSESSED, early MORBID ANGEL , early SARCOFAGO, INCUBUS (fl.), BLASPHEMY,
SEXTRASH, early NECRONOMICON, early DESTRUCTION, early KREATOR. Cover songs were mainly
played when the band first incepted. End of 1991, 2 songs were recorded to be an official
promo tape but was never officially released .. Impiety recorded & released a 5 song
promo tape instead in 1992 entitled "Ceremonial Necrochrist Redesecration",
despite it's low sound production , it was positively received and praised very well in
the metal underground worldwide.In 1993 , IMPIETY was signed-up by SHIVADARSHANA .. Xul , left the band & in came Leprophiliac Rex. The band's first diabolical release with the Dutch-Masters was the "Salve the Goat ... Iblis Excelsi" 2 song 7" single in 94' . Impiety had improved technically in achieving a better production sound and also their own sadistic hell art of barbaric Black Death! The response to the single was overwhelming & all 3000 copies have been sold with 500 licensed to Fudgeworthy Records (U.S.), released on limited marble-vinyl. The 2 different pressings of this diabolical 7"EP are not available anymore.After the 7" release , a 4th member Abyydos was recruited to give Impiety a full fuckin' powerful, infernal Nuclear~sound . Abyydos took control of all lead/rhythm guitars , Leprophiliac Rex (bass) , Iblyss (battery) and Shyaithan (vocals) . And with this line-up , "Asateerul Awaleen" , the quartet's debut CD album of 8 fucking Black witching HellMetal tracks , under Shivadarshana was recorded in mid 95' & released in mid 96' . "Asateerul Awaleen" sold out all 4000 copies pressed in a digipak format and the response (reviews) from most major magazines (e.g Aardschok , Metallian , Rockhard, PIT (US) , Mind View etc) |
were
more than satisfying & undeniably incredible! Impiety also recorded a
5-song MCD entitled "Funeralight..." due for release early 1997
, exculsively once again by Shivardarshana .But Shivadarshana ran into
financial problems and shut down, and so the MCD was never pressed .However a Limited
edition Cassette-Ep of 2500 copies was pressed by an independant label Ultra~Hingax
Productions from Malaysia. All copies were quickly sold out in S.E.Asia alone.
Ultra~Hingax Productions never had good distribution channels worldwide and so there was
much dissapointment to IMPIETY's hellhordes, as "Funeralight..." never did see
the light in Europe/US at all.Just shortly after the "Funeralight..." recording,
Shyaithan kicked Iblyss out after a dispute & at the same time, Abyydos had to leave
as he had been called into the Army . Frontman Shyaithan, appointed new, talented
demonlords to the line~up... namely Fyraun and Dajjal. Fyraun (guitars) was quick to learn
all songs of IMPIETY and so was Dajjal (battery) , both had been long playing in various
Black/ Death metal outfits prior to joining. |
Glory to metal…and long live Impiety for creating this wild odes, choleric and dirty hymns of pure black metal. From the line up that crushed us with "Asateerul Awaleen" only remains their leader and vocalist Shyaithan. The new members that joined this evil line up are Fyraun (guitar) and Dajjal (drums) and they have created Skullfucking Armageddon, a masterpiece on the darker side of metal, done for real metal maniacs and head bangers. From the first track to Torment in Fire (a hymn of the wildest thrash metal) Impiety’s hordes attack and destroy you, there’s no break time, it’s burst after burst of barbaric riffs. Check out songs like Nocturnized, Torment in Fire, Lords of Apokallypse and fill the fury of glorious bands such as Sarcofago, Mayhem, Sodom, Vulcano and Possessed. Impiety, in my opinion, is and will be the reigning band in the extreme underground and non-commercial scene. They are the black metal terrorists from the east and this is the assault that’ll initiate the apocalypse. Do not be afraid to purchase this monumental piece of infernal art and appreciate one of the most brutal and professional presentations any band has ever had. This a true collector’s jewel…this is torment….
