Impaler has been
around on the American metal scene way back since 1984 but they have still a
lot to give. Raised on horror movies and Alice Cooper's shock rock this is a
band that keeps the tradition of scary metal alive. Marilyn Manson might not
be terribly impressed with the band but they do make music worth listening too
which is not always the case with Manson. Root Of All Evil is clearly one of
the most underrated metal labels in the world because they do have lots of
quality releases behind them and this is just one good album among others.
Impaler has a sound not very far from Deceased, another fine American band on
the Relapse label who mixes old-school thrash/heavy metal with punk rock. This
is yet another album that deserves a better production though since the
overall sound is a little thin. The music itself is very nice though with lots
of playful metal, intense thrashy riffing and a horror movie atmosphere
enhanced with numerous spoken interludes. This is definitely pure metal -
tight, heavy and hard rocking. Perhaps this is nothing new that we haven't
heart before but Impaler is still a band comprised of talented musicians as
shown on this release.
