Impaled Death After Life CD

 Impaled are gore metal gods.....
Well, I can safely say that now my Impaled CD collection has been completed with the arrival of this their latest in friendly, violent, gorey fun. The songs are awesome (but then again, this IS Impaled), but the production is rather off on this album through-and-through and that is why I must refrain from giving it a deserved 5 stars and settle with the 4 star rating. Other than this, the band is as tight as they have ever been and, simply put, just Grade A good gorey fun on this side of the Carcass-worship fence.

 Only 5 stars because 666 stars is not an option
I like the odd production of this album. Too many grind/death albums sound the same. The songs themselves are wonderfully gore-licious. They are put together with the care of a surgeon working a heart transplant. Bravo Impaled....your slab of goregrind is a delightful masterpiece. It fits like a glove in my disc changer between Chopin and The Jerky Boys. SSues rD evil gnoL.

 Ravaging Metal!
This album is just as good as Mondo Medicale if not better. Rip your face off gore/frind metal!

 Great Songs, Bad Production
Impaled, for those not in the know, have been constantly improving there Carcass-influenced sound throughout their career. The last studio album, Mondo Medicale, was a brilliant blast of old school gore, hospital humor, and crushing riffs. The clean, precise production was another bonus. Newly signed to metal behemoth Century Media, hopes for the new album were high. And with Mr. Bungle alum Trey Spruance at the production helm, fans were almost giddy with excitement. And the new CD delivers...sort of. The songs are there, the humorous interludes, the catchy solos, all there. And some minor experimentation is a nice touch. But ultimately, the great songs are bogged down by murky, muddy production. The drum sound is especially tinny and weak, which is a shame because drummer Raul delivers his most impressive outing to date. Ultimately, this is a good outing that won't disappoint metal fans. However, we might have to wait for the next CD for Impaled to release their masterpiece.
