One of the numerous death metal bands that came out of Scandinavia in the '90s, Impious have never been known for subtlety, restraint, or understatement; in fact, just the opposite is true. The Swedish outfit has earned a reputation for offering stereotypically ferocious death metal - harsh, dense, blistering, claustrophobic, Slayer-influenced music that can send a mosh pit into overdrive and leave listeners feeling totally drained. The Nordic moshers live for bombast and thrive on pure, unrepentant, skull-crushing brutality - an approach that has brought them very little, if any, mainstream recognition but has enabled Impious to enjoy a small cult following in the European death metal/black metal underground.
