Lord Impaler is a Hellenic melodic black metal band. Unlike most Greek black metal bands, our musical direction has a strong scandinavic flavor. Unlike the majority of contemporary metal bands that succumbed to the triumph of 'fragmentaire', we present a kind of black metal that is rarely met anymore, pure to the tradition and the origin, presented in a modern way and worked with stellar technics.

Biography:
Formed in late 1998 in Kastoria, we proceeded to record and release our first demo "The Lord Impaler" in 1999, followed by "Twilight Wander" in 2001. We also gave 2 live shows in 1999 and 2000. Then the band went into hiatus. Risen from the dead in 2005, we discarded most of our old stuff and went on to release "Promo 2005". In 2007 we participated in a 4-way split released on 10" vinyl format under the title "The Ascending Novelty". In 2009 we released another demo under the very original title "Demo 2009", showcasing music of our forthcoming debut album.
In 2010 we finished the recordings of our first full-length album "Admire the Cosmos Black" which was under constant development since 2005. The album contains 10 tracks spanning over 1 hour and was released in 2011 (self financed). The album was mixed and mastered at Molla Lydstudio by Knut M. Valle. Drums were performed by the legendary Hellhammer (Mayhem).
We currently work on new matterial for our second album.
