Vishal - What are you doing nowadays?
Ken - We are currently teaching our debut album Eternity Awaits , too our new guitarist A.D Camarena (Ex Dread/ Nuclear Reign current) and Joe Tapia (Ex Noisear/ Laughing Dog current). And thats going good so far, as for shows we are getting tons of sick show shows with bands we grew up on like Obituary, Broken Hope, Cephalic Carnage, Exhumed, Severed Savior and more. so its been a good year.  

Vishal - Can i get the story of your band and biography? What is the meaning of Impaled Offering exactly means to the band?
Ken - Impaled Offering Started when Ben Segura and Ken Padilla decided to attempt to make music together, it seems like we just had a good flow with one another right off the bat. We then picked up Joseph Chavez on bass/voxs, he held down the position for about 8 months , and played some fun gigs with us, he left the band about a week before Recording our Debut LP Eternity Awaits leaving me and Ben to record it ourselves. We now have old friend Roman Barham on Voxs, A.D. Camarena Guitar and Joe Tapia on Bass. Littlew did we Knw peeps would like us so much.
Impaled Offering is a mix of Extreme genres that consists of Gore Grind, Grind-core, Death Metal, Black metal, with a ton of aggression. Impaled Offering is very progressive due to the vast amounts of influence, riffs do not get repeated in order to fit all the styles into a song.

Vishal - What are the lyrical themes you use in your song?gore, horror, politics, anti religion etc..
Ken -  We try to cover the whole map on lyrical themes as a homage to all the old bands we love and listen to on a reg, and it also makes lyric writing a bit funner than just writing bout the same topic every time.

Vishal - How it feels to be in a Underground band? And for how many years you are in this scene?
Ken - Its great being part of our underground family, and meeting ons of talented down to earth peeps, it makes us love it more that the fans actually love the music its not just background noise. we have been in the scene about 2 and 1/2 yrs now and its been to fun. 

Vishal - Which are the bands that have influenced your band most?
Ken - Morbid Angel, Electrocution, Ripping Corpse, Demilitch, Sodom, Disgorge , Solstice, Suffocation, Exmotis, Evil Dead, Coroner,Depravity Grave and the list goes on and on.

Vishal - What are the future plans of Impaled Offering? any tours, releases, recordings etc.
Ken - We really want to do a west coast tour summer 2013 , release our 1st official video for the album, and start working on the 2nd album. Other than that keep playing shows in and out of our state. 

Vishal - What is your opinion on sites posting Underground Materials?
Ken - I love it, all the support a band can get is good support. 

Vishal - How do you feel about the classifications in metal? like deathcore, metalcore and other subgenres..
Ken - Metalcore, Deathcore, not our cup of tea at all more like a cup of shit trying to be mountain dew. 

Vishal - In general term extreme metal isn't appreciated by Society what do you have to say on this?
Ken - If they just went to a show and saw it live, and all that goes into playing it, they may still not like it , but at least respect it. 

Vishal - Ok, what do you want to tell those peoples who rips off the band hard work and illegally downloads their music?
Ken - I dont like that peeps get the music free it takes the love out of it, and the personal element of receiving the actual cd/Vinyl, and at the same time it dont bug me, just knowing our music is in circulation is cool. With that said we put alot of time money and work into our craft to entertain you back us up. 

Vishal - Beside Impaled Offering do you have any other projects too?
Ken - Ben(drums) plays in the Conjuring out of NM , its like old-school Savatage, Armored Saint type metal. Joe (Bass) plays in Nm's Laughing Dog reminiscent of the glory days of grind such as Napalm Death,Repulsion and Terrorizer. Roman (Voxs) fronts NM's brutal death outfit Echoes of Fallen Sickening brutality, and A.D Camarena(guitar) fronts NM's Nuclear Reign, ultra classic sounding thrash/speed metal band not to be fucked with. 

Vishal - Is it hard surviving in underground Scene?
Ken - Yeah lots of expectations for albums, art and live shows is there, money allways plays its role but we love what we do. 

Vishal - Metal has to be underground or metal has to go mainstream, what's your opinion?
Ken -  I like it underground Cannibal Corpse is still underground and doing great, so it cant be bad to just stick to your guns. 

Vishal - What is your opinion on the current state of underground metal?
Ken - It was hurting for a bit, but i see it coming back and hard, hopefully it keeps picking up so bands in the scene can make a living off what they love doing.
