The Mexico / South American release of our last CD, The Last Gasp, has now been released by Embrace My Funeral Records.
This regional release features a bonus song, "Intelligent Design," liner notes in Spanish, and (thanks to a printer mistake) super cool gold foil stamp packaging!
Be sure to check EMF Records on MySpace and get your hands on this slab de pinche GORE!

Dracma Records in Italy has repressed the classic Impaled / Cephalic Carnage split 7" from Headfucker Records onto CD. The CD also features another 7" from Exhumed / Retaliation, also released by Headfucker Records way back in the late nineties.
The CD is in a digipack with a booklet reproducing all the 7" artwork. Our own Minister Ross Sewage updated both the Impaled and Exhumed artwork for color printing.
Impaled has limited quantities, so your best bet is to visit Dracma Records and pick up the CD there. http://dracma.com/und_releases.htm

Impaled has a slate of shows coming up in March, including a short jaunt to the Pacific North West. Check out our upcoming shows page for more details.
The Last Gasp will be on vinyl! Courtesy of Tank Crimes Records, the latest Impaled will be released onto wax, for all the DJs out there to cut and for those who want to see the G.O.R.E. in glorious 12" format. The LP cover will feature some beautiful foil stamping and the vinyl will be available for a limited time in blood red. We just dropped off the art for press, so be on the lookout.
Tour plans are being finalized now. Impaled will be heading to Europe to support Origin in the month of May, immediately following our appearance at Maryland Death Fest. We'll be rocking the Old World until June 22nd. There are also plans being made for a U.S. tour in August / September. Dates will be released as they're made available to us.
Stay fuck! Vote G.O.R.E. in 2008.
The Fourth of January, 2008
Due to the storm, Impaled has to cancel our performance at Rasputin Records. The store has expressed difficulty with the performance room flooding, and our guitarist, Sean, is stuck in Santa Cruz due to the mountain highways closing down.
This confluence of events cannot be ignored... though neither sleet, nor rain, nor snow can stop Impaled, downed power lines and flash flooding can.
We apologize sincerely. We hope everyone stays safe and dry through this storm so we can all rock out together once we reschedule the show. Thanks.

Impaled takes over mp3.com!
At 2:30 p.m. on Saturday November 3rd, Impaled will be taking over mp3.com's radio broadcast of Mp3.com on KUSF. By violent force, as the listener will hear, Impaled will grab the reigns from show host Christine. Witness as they spin new material on the radio for the first time from their forthcoming record, "The Last Gasp." Be amazed as they shamelessly plug themselves and their CD release show. Be frightened as they ruthlessly kill the coffee guy.
Bay Area listeners can dial in 90.3 FM and Internet users can stream the broadcast at http://www.kusf.org.
On November 6th, the day Impaled's "The Last Gasp" is released, mp3.com will also be hosting an exclusive full stream of the record. Internet users will be able to enjoy the record in its entirety for free at http://www.mp3.com/artist/impaled.

The deranged doctors of IMPALED have been at it once again, unveiling another sickening image in their gallery of gore. The latest cover artwork for IMPALED's upcoming record, "The Last Gasp", was created by the band and is about an accurate representation of their brand of medical metal as one could expect.
The cover for "The Last Gasp" features scream-queen and horror auteur Shannon Lark, the woman behind the Chainsaw Mafia horror message board, the Living Dead Girlz zombie dance troupe, and the Viscera Series Film Fest. According to IMPALED bassist Ross Sewage, "Shannon was awesome to work with, mostly because she's willing to lie in a puddle of guts and vomit for upwards of an hour."
IMPALED guitarist Jason Kocol said of the art, "This cover will make you shit out your mouth and wish you were never born."
"The Last Gasp" will be released by Willowtip Records in North America on November 6 (one day earlier internationally).
The Twenty-Ninth of August, 2007
Impaled, purveyors of backwards-thinking medicine, have put their John Hancock on a contract with Willowtip Records, purveyors of forward-thinking metal. Following Willowtip's recent deal for European distribution, the new Impaled record will be made available in the Old World via Candlelight Records.
After touring worldwide to support their previous album on Century Media Records, "Death After Life," Impaled have been hard at work writing and recording a follow up record. The deal with Willowtip comes at a fortuitous juncture, just in time for the album to be released during Impaled's tenth year anniversary as a band.
"I'd like to say the new record is sicker and more brutal than the last, but I can't. Fact is, it goes beyond that. The new record is way way sickerer and way way way way way more brutaller," said bassist Ross Sewage on the subject of Impaled's latest recording.
Regarding the new deal with Willowtip Records, Sewage stated, "Impaled is looking forward to working with the Willowtip empire. We will murder our enemies, burn their crops, loot their stores, stampede their women and rape their cattle."
Jason Tipton, president and C.E.O. of Willowtip, Inc., has added, "We are honored to be working with the goretet known as Impaled and are thrilled to celebrate their 10th anniversary. We urge everyone in kingdoms worldwide not to purchase the traditional gifts of tin or aluminum for this 10th anniversary celebration, but instead to purchase the new album from Impaled, which will be in stores throughout Europe November 5th and in North America November 6th."
The new album from Impaled, entitled "The Last Gasp," will be their fourth full-length recording.
The Eighteenth of April, 2007
Finally, at long last, the masses can breathe. Impaled is entering the studio in less than a week to begin recording the follow up record to 2005's smash shit, Death After Life. The new record promises to be just as sick and replete with the kind of medical malfeasance that the poor patients in St. Julien's hospital have come to expect. The goresome foursome are going in with extra sharp scalpel hooks and more blood-curdling tales than before to ensure a record that cuts to the quick.
In the meantime, members of the elite Impaled G.O.R.E. Corps can sate their appetite with an offering from Chef Barfo, a digital guru and guitar wizard who has dissected the remains of previous Impaled releases. His remix CD, Digital Autopsy, features nothing but Impaled songs stripped to the bone and fed through a computer to create a soundscape quite unlike any kind of noise you've ever heard before. The 3 inch mini CD and sample tracks are available now in the Chop Shop.
