Impaled - Death After Life (2005)

   What if Carcass didn't turn so melodic after "Necroticism"? How would they sound like? Probably just like how Impaled sounds.
   The band was formed in the mid '90s, and their desperate gore and horror addiction (and of course boundless Carcass fanatism) turned them to a replica band of their main influence. Similar themes, the same vocal style and concept. Their music was simpler, lies closer to old school death metal instead if sympathizing much with grindcore, though they often operated with short extreme speed ups. They didn't merge so deep into medical books and Latin dictionaries, but instead of the serious clinical aspect there is dark and morbid humor to entertain the bloodthirsty listener. So while in the case of Carcass the ultimate sickness was represented in musical themes too on the side of the sound and the concept, Impaled tried to compense the lack of the first one by the lyrics. Impaled's music might cause enjoyable moments for the fans of gore and medical horror, and also an excellent choise if someone needs some old Carcass nostalgia.
