1992 DEBUT ALBUM OF CLASSIC UK DEATH METAL FROM IMPALER. PRESENTED ON MID-PRICE CD WITH ORIGINAL ARTWORK.
UK based Death metal outfit Impaler formed under the name of Carnage in 1988, before changing their name in 1991 upon signing a deal with Deaf Records, sub-label of Peaceville Records which spawned the likes of At the Gates. ‘Charnel Deity’ was the band’s only full-length album release, though it has grown over the years to be considered as an underrated & often overlooked “lost classic” of early 90’s UK death metal, when rated among some of the more known acts in the scene from that period.
A work of catchy, often thrash-tinged death metal riffs & frantic soloing, backed up by sick vocals, ‘Charnel Deity’ at times evokes a similar feeling in their compositions to bands such as UK greats, Cancer, with effective, well-crafted headbanging anthems.
The artwork was created by guitarist/bassist Chris Drew, who also designed the cover art for other early Peaceville bands, Baphomet & Accidental Suicide.
This edition of ‘Charnel Deity’ is presented on mid-price CD format marking 30 years since its original release & includes the original cover art, plus full lyrics.
