IMPALED (California, USA) - The Last Gasp (sealed CD copy) (2021) Old Shadows Records (Brazilian re-issue) in a standard jewel case w/clear tray.
If you’ve never acquainted yourself with IMPALED’s brand of gore-inspired, Thrashy Death Metal, then The Last Gasp is as good an album to start with as any. Considering that this is their 4th full-length studio offering, that’s saying something for the band’s consistency and reliability. 
From start to finish The Last Gasp is a fantastic listen, with songwriting chops to burn. Sure it’s fast and brutal as necessary, but it’s also got a healthy and absolute welcome dose of melody, hooks and Old-School riffing to create a very dynamic album. 
The composition of this platter is such that every song is memorable and sharp as a tack, leaving no room for mucking around. 
All I can say is, if you’re in need of a band that can masterfully combine the technicality and speed of Modern Death with Slamming Old School grooves, you may find Impaled have birthed one of 2007’s superior Death Metal albums in The Last Gasp.
