Since 1997, the dank corners of the city of Oakland, California have been subject to the brutality of a group out of their minds. The guilty have died and the innocent bled under their watch. Enlivened by a need to pervert goodwill to ill-will, kindness to violence, and care to murder, these hapless individuals known collectively as Impaled have sought nothing less than the complete destruction of all that is good. Begat by guitarist Sean McGrath, Impaled created an ethic to destroy the weak, the sick, the frail, the poseurs... essentially, anyone who was not in Impaled. Joined by drummer Raul Varela, the pair conspired with guitarist Jared Deaver (ex-Deeds of Flesh, ex-Severed Savior) and bassist Ron Dorn to record their calamitous sound on the well-received 1998 demo Septic Vomit. One Leon del Muerte was initially acquired to round out the band as a vocalist and eventually replaced Deaver on guitar. Bassist Ross Sewage was later acquired to replace Dorn, and the solidified quartet recorded the demo for which they were to become infamous, 1999's From Here to Colostomy.

When their vile sickness reached the Old World, Impaled was contacted by Headfucker Records of Italy to put out two of their previously released songs onto a split 7" with hydro-grinders Cephalic Carnage. Not to be outdone on American shores, California based Necropolis Records signed the goretet and released the class-sick album The Dead Shall Dead Remain in 2000. A national tour with metal heavyweights Nile and Incantation followed, and such butchery as had never been seen was released on an unwary public.
