Impaled Checks In From Amsterdam
California gore metal band Impaled has issued the following tour update on their MySpace page:
"Maryland Death Fest was crushing. Impaled had a fantastic time, seeing many great underground bands and being welcomed by a crowd of hardened G.O.R.E. Corps soldiers beating the absolute shit out of each other. Thanks to the fest and all the people that came out!
Follow that up with a couple shows with Swashbuckle, Call the Paramedics, Ex-Dementia, Trasher, Bitchslicer, and others, and we had a great send off from the states.
Now we're in Amsterdam, spending a couple days taking in the sights before we join up for the tour with Origin and Hour of Penance. I know what you're thinking... Amsterdam. We must be getting really baked on space cake, right? Well, wrong. We didn't come here for the pot. Impaled are not hippies. We came here for the heroin, LSD, and cocaine."
Origin Premieres “Finite” Video
ORIGIN premiered their video for "Finite," the first from their brand new album, "Antithesis," yesterday on Headbanger's Blog, the online forum for MTV's 'Headbanger's Ball' (international / non-US viewers can view the video on YouTube). The "Finite" video will see its televised premiere on today's (May 24) edition of Headbanger's Ball on MTV2.
The video was shot in Brooklyn, NY with director David Brodsky for MyGoodEye. ORIGIN is currently on tour in support of Antithesis, rounding out their U.S. run with labelmates DYING FETUS over the weekend followed by a month-long headlining tour of Europe. ORIGIN will also be performing at a number of festivals while in Europe including Hellfest, Protzen Open Air, Neurotic Death Fest, Death Feast Fest, and more.
ORIGN released "Antithesis" in early April, breaking in at #21 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. Audio samples taken from "Antithesis" can be heard now via the band's official MySpace and this media player.
Here are Origin's latest tour dates, with more expected to be announced soon: More...

Impaled Post New Video For "Choke On It" Online
Oakland, California-based extreme metallers IMPALED have posted their video for the song "Choke On It", taken from the band's 2002 album "Mondo Medicale". The clip, which was edited and directed by Raul Varela, can be viewed below.
IMPALED's fourth album, "The Last Gasp", was issued in Europe on November 5, 2007 via Candlelight and in North America on November 6, 2007 through Willowtip. The CD was made available in Mexico and Latin America by EMF Records, featuring liner notes in Spanish and a previously unreleased bonus track.
The cover artwork for "The Last Gasp" was created by the band and is about an accurate representation of their brand of medical metal as one could expect. It 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." More...

Impaled Bassist Speaks On Label Split
Metal Maniacs' Justin M. Norton recently conducted an interview with members of IMPALED (bassist/vocalist Ross Sewage, guitarist/vocalist Sean McGrath, guitarist/vocalist Jason Kocol) about the band's latest album, "The Last Gasp", their split with Century Media, signing to Willowtip, and their affection for medical terminology. The feature can be found in the February issue. Excerpts follow:
Metal Maniacs: Tell me about the switch from Century Media to Willowtip and how it affected the new album.
Ross Sewage: We got our asses dropped. It kind of happened to a lot of Century Media bands. They were cleaning house. We never really had that good of a relationship on either side. Just the one record…
Sean McGrath: We had like a three-album contract…
Ross Sewage: And of course some kids thought that meant we could force them to put out three albums but that's not how the music industry works. We were never even supposed to be on Century Media; we were supposed to be on Olympic. So we probably would have been dropped about a year earlier had that happened.
Sean McGrath: Olympic went out of business a year after we signed the contract and a couple of bands stayed on Century Media.
Metal Maniacs: Did you actively go looking for a new label or did Willowtip come to you?
Ross Sewage: The man who had gotten us signed at Century Media and who subsequently left two weeks after we got signed recommended us to Willowtip and let them know we were in the market for a label. There was talk with some different labels but Willowtip definitely came out on top as someone who was willing to put up with us which is important. In fairness to Century Media we're not an easy band to work with…we micromanage.
Sean McGrath: We tend to do a lot of stuff ourselves which some labels don't like.
Metal Maniacs: Did Century Media not like your cover art?
Ross Sewage: They didn't like a lot of our interviews. They said we were too dry because we never laugh and have a good time.
Metal Maniacs: For better or worse you get saddled with the CARCASS comparison.
Ross Sewage: We like our medical terminology. We're attracted to that kind of expression because we were all kids when [CARCASS] came out and were like, "This is fucking cool." I like looking through books about forensics, too. We owe them a great debt of gratitude for imagery and making death metal that actually rocked a lot of time. They were tongue-in-cheek and we are tongue-sticking-right-out-of-the-mouth-making-a-raspberry.
Metal Maniacs: Are you happy with the new album?
Sean McGrath: Nope.
Ross Sewage: No, it's terrible. Awful. It's the worst thing ever recorded in history. If fans see it at a record store, steal it. Steal from the record store and then pay us what you would have spent. If you send the money to us you aren't going to Hell.
The February issue of Metal Maniacs is on sale now.

The two new tracks, titled "You are the Dead" and "Up the Dose," are available on the Willowtip website here and on the Impaled myspace page. According to bassist Ross Sewage, "These two brutal tracks are just a brutalistic sampling of how brutalful our latest brutastic album really is." More...
Impaled Signs To Willowtip Records
Impaled have signed a contract with Willowtip Records. 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.
