IMPALED is a relatively new name in the Death metal panorama although it already deservedly gained good renown due to a humorous bad taste and a demented dedication to horror (a kind of spirit which has something of HAEMORRAGE). That they recall EXHUMED is inarguable, and comprehensible as there is one of the founder of the band playing here as well, especially when you get caught in the flowing, gore soaked sound which blasts all through melodic, vaguely CARCASS-ish solos (and the swinging early CARCASS print is clear sometimes) and grunts. The production is excellent, and the whole packaging of among the highest level you get this day (due also to the Eyesore Graphics studio whose heart nests inside the band). They're really not as filthy and tastefully chaotic as EXHUMED or SANITY'S DAWN to raise me to such levels of uncontrolled rapture, but they're damn crazed nonetheless, a barrage of multiple vocals (again, one of them brings me the typical Steer roaring of the pre-Heartwork days), grinding accelerations, and sheer murder and horror based lyrics. Highest level stuff which will be remembered in the future.
