[music - Sean McGrath and Leon del Muerte]
[lyrics - Sean McGrath and Ross Sewage]

Latent images in solutions submerged
A gallery of gore for posterity preserved
Your visage shall endure long after you've been laid to rest
Immortalized in celluloid as record of your death

A recremental work of art
Artuated straight from the heart
Your destiny is black and white
A grisly study in still life
A kalopsic collage is your patchwork grave
The cutting room floor is where you spend your last days
Anonymous atrocities, my subjects are the dead
An amateur gorenographer cutting off heads

Glistening gralloch, a zoetrope of rot
Exenterated torsos coacervate and clot
Veristic works of art are developed and displayed
Decomposed and posed as I prepare another plate

On my nefandous noctuary I diligently toil
For a carcass exfodiated from hallowed soil
An axunge prepared to grease the gears
Lacking my wit, kin may shed tears
Cohesive structure is what you lack

Sing with the song of Impaled, Gorenography lyrics!

A poultice of plaster will fill in the cracks
Sculptures in flesh are my medium du jour
Your puniceous effigy I faithfully restore

Abdomen is spliced and the lighting is set
I'll develop your roll as my ensanguined subject
Holes drilled in your skull form a camera obscura
This document of death will be rather thorough
My scrapbook of horror is your final epitaph
Pictures from the after world, a corpse photographed
Your countenance embossed in silver gelatin
A gruesome reminder of your untimely end

A test sheet is used for the final cut
Through trial and error I make my decision
The template enlarged to a grainy print
This excoriated exhibit, my final revision

[solo: "Welcome to the Bone Room" by L.d. Muerte]
[solo: "Matted and Framed for Decay" by S.C. McGrath]

Artistic license I must take
Depleted bones I'm apt to break I strike the set, this shoot is a wrap
Your casket occluded with residual scraps
The harvest I find in a moldering crate
A cadaverous curio with which I create

impaled

Artist Information

Profile:

Impaled was formed in the US in 1995 by Jared Deaver (guitar), Sean McGrath (guitar), Ron Dorn (bass) Raul Varela (drums) and Jeremy Frye (vocals). Jeremy soon left the band and Jared and Sean then both took over vocals. In 1997 they recorded their first demo, "Septic Vomit". Shortly after Jared received throat cancer and was forced to leave the band. He was then replaced by Leon del Muerte. "From Here to Colostomy", the second demo, was released in 1999 which featured Sean handling both guitar and bass. Ron's replacement was Tom Persons of Enthroned but his stay was short as he left soon. Ross Sewage (bass, vocals) of Exhumed then took his place and eventually became a permanent replacement. Same year they also did a split 7" EP with Cephalic Carnage. The band played several gigs and in 2000 they released their first full-length album, "The Dead Shall Dead Remain", along with the 7" split with Engorged and shortly after the band then went on a tour with Nile and Incantation. In 2001 the compilation EP "Choice Cuts" was released. After the release they embarked on tours with the likes of Vader, Origin and Skinless. After the tour Leon del Muerte left the band but was quickly replaced by Andrew LaBarre. In 2002 they released "Mondo Medicale" which was an instant succes. It was followed by the EP "Medical Waste" same year and the split cd "Dimentia Rex" with Haemorrhage in 2003.
