More Info
UK based Death metal outft Impaler formed under the name of Carnage in 1988,
before changing their name in 1991 upon signing a deal with Deaf Records, sublabel 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.
