IMPALED came into being the summer of 1995. Borne of the diarrheal sepsis of several bands, the group was IMPALED came into being the summer of 1995. Borne of the diarrheal sepsis of several bands, the group was formed by special operatives Jared Deaver (Guitar), Sean McGrath (Guitar), Ron Dorn (Bass) Raul Varela (Drums) and Jeremy Frye (Vocals). Jared, Ron and Jeremy were formerly assigned to the band Infanticide (1990 - 1995), whose untimely death had left said cretins bandless and missionless. Sean had recently transferred from Inhumation to join Infanticide, only to witness its demise. Raul was recruited when found selling crystal-meth to small children in the building where IMPALED would begin to rehearse.

Shortly after the formation of this new, heathenous outfit, Jeremy was left M.I.A. The vocal duties were then hoisted upon the capable shoulders of Jared and Sean, proving themselves deadly with their dual throat onslaught.

After months of intense research and mathematical formulating, the band would concoct their first demo the dead-fucking opus Septic Vomit, as their first offensive attack. Recorded by legendary General Mauphistopholes Acevedo in October, 1997, this Euclidean nightmare included four raunchy forays into medical malfeasance and deviant sexual acts, disrespectively titled "Brutally Dismembered Symphonic Gore," "I Fuck the Dead," "Baby Grinder," and "Necroemetophilia." The demo went on to sell hundreds of copies, exposing the underground to an all new viral strain of shit-stained metal.

Shortly after being exposed to Septic Vomit, Jared contracted throat cancer and the malignant polyps forced him to forsake his vocal duties. His replacement would be none other than death metal mercenary Leon del Muerte. A former comrade-in-arms from his days in Infanticide, and having recently completed a stint at the front lines with the barbarian hordes of Exhumed, Leon was the strategic choice to take point on IMPALED's tour of doody.

With this new line-up, IMPALED went on to take up arms with the likes of Deicide and Suffocation in the name of metal, as well as battling in many localized skirmishes. An extended campaign of destruction was undertaken when IMPALED, Exhumed, and local allies Infestation conquered towns and villages all the way down to Mexico. Ron was a casualty of friendly fire.

IMPALED unleashed their second sortie in the form of a two song demo, including the tracks "With Shit, I am Adorned" and "The Ingestion of Colotomic Funk," with Guy Higby at the radar, and Sean manning both the guitars and bass. Ron's temporary replacement was Tom Persons of local black symphonic outfit, Enthroned. However, instability prevailed as Jared was fatally injured during a CPR training exercise, and Tom would sign an oath of allegiance with Enthroned (now Psypheria), barring his involvement with IMPALED. Leon's versatility under fire would lead him to take up guitar and vocal assignments along with Sean. IMPALED then found it necessary to recruit soldier of fortune and then current Exhumed bassist, Ross Sewage, as a fourth gun for this combat quartet.

With a stable platoon and a clear objective, IMPALED set about the task of formulating a new battle plan. They're first two assaults had utilized technical, American style strategizing. For their new series of invasions, IMPALED would set out for a full frontal, all out blitzkrieg! Their new style of warfare, similar to bands such as Dismember, Entombed, and Carcass in their heydays, began to decimate local populations. Following these massacres, they had an incursion with Cradle of Filth at the largest metal venue in the Bay Area, the Maritime Hall, as well as blazing a trail of musical destruction to Oregon and forming a war council with Engorged. IMPALED have increased their warrior activity in the Bay Area, and the plumes of smoke and victims' screams have attracted attention outside of this battleground.

To solidify this pact with evil, IMPALED constructed an implement of mass destruction, the demo From Here to Colostomy, which is said to contain more shit than the entire city of San Francisco can produce in 3 years. This new recording, expertly handled again by Gen. Mauphistopholes Acevedo at DigitSound recording, includes such memorable tracks as "The Immaculate Defecation," "Flesh & Blood," "With Shit I am Adorned," "Fecal Rites," and "From Here to Colostomy."

Razorback Records, in an effort to ally themselves with the strongest battle force the world has ever seen, released the track "Immaculate Defecation" on their CD compilation, aptly titled, "Gore Is Your Master Vol. 1." IMPALED then decided it was time to storm the gates of Fort Necropolis, and recorded the song "Spirits of the Dead." Unable to defend against this latest salvo, Necropolis Records raised the white flag and agreed to put the song on an upcoming compilation. Finally, in an effort to disseminate their propaganda to the masses, IMPALED recorded another new song, "All That Rots," and in a daring night operation, broke into the headquarters of LCA & Alpine Films, and placed the song on the soundtrack for the soon to be released film, The Convent.

After receiving a court martial for his allegiance to another band, Ross was given a dishonorable discharge from Exhumed, allowing the IMPALED unit to unify even further and alleviating Ross from the embarrassment of repeated ass-rapings.

Offering their mercenary skills overseas, IMPALED was hired by the Italian Mafioso's of Headfucker Records, requesting a hit be put out on every man, woman, and child on Earth! In order to accomplish this, IMPALED will be re-releasing two songs from their From Here to Colostomy demo on a split 7" record with grinding ganja gurus, Cephalic Carnage. Once released, the split 7" will assuredly lay waste to the major populations centers in Europe, North America, Australia, and Tanzania.

Now with the upcoming war campaign of "The Dead Shall Dead Remain," IMPALED stands to dominate the ears of their underground brethren, and conquer all in one resounding burst of flatulence that is guaranteed by the Gipper himself to leave you dead and lifeless!

How long can the carnage continue? Impaled promises to decimate all who stand in their path of world domination. They will not show mercy, and no P.O.W.s will be taken. Several more split 7"s and CD compilation appearances are planned, and if you live in a major metropolitan area, find out now where the nearest fallout shelter is located. As they formulate the plans for a full length release, however, give up, for none will be spared!!
