This is surprisingly memorable and even melodic. Impaled has been a  promising band, but I think this album shows a real development. The  songwriting has improved a lot. I remember that I liked this band&#8217;s Carcass  remake better than its own songs. Well, now, they are progressing and  perfecting. I look forward to their next album. Some people will criticize this band for being a Carcass rip-off. This band  takes that as a compliment. They love Carcass and if you don&#8217;t like the  above Carcass albums, don&#8217;t even bother. PROBLEM: There is one thing on here that is awful and stupid: the  spoken-word samples. I am surprised that the band did not delete these  &#8220;scary&#8221;\/&#8221;funny&#8221; samples, which sound cheap and have no feeling and almost  ruin this album. There are four of these horrible pieces on here and they  sound stupid. Not silly. Stoopid. On Carcass&#8217; &#8220;Necroticism&#8221; this type of  pieces were shorter and added to the feel of the album; and I don&#8217;t think  they sound silly or stupid even today (And yes, I did go back and listen to  &#8220;Necroticism&#8221; to compare, so you know.). RECOMMENDATION: Make yourself a  copy of the album and take out the spoken-word pieces; record only the  songs; it will be much better<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These eight songs are all about Carcass&#8217; &#8220;Symphonies&#8221; and &#8220;Necroticism&#8221;: the combination of the low and midrange growling and the muddy-but-catchy riffing.
