Surprisingly, given that "Sparky" is about the least death metal name imaginable, Voyles stayed with the band through its next full-length (and Relapse Records debut), 2000's Destroy the Opposition. That album proved to be their breakthrough, both artistically and in terms of their reputation within the metal scene. Grotesque Impalement, then, can be seen as the final stage in their journey out of the under-underground, paying tribute to their peers (covers of songs by New York death metal group Baphomet and Maryland hardcore band Next Step Up) and throwing a totally left-field joke track on at the end. "Hail Mighty North/Forest Trolls of Satan (Anno Clitoris 666 Opus II)" is a classically early-'80s anthemic metal song, with simplistic riffing, a fist-pumping chorus, and a surprisingly clean (though still hoarse and guttural) vocal. It's not a total stylistic pastiche, but it demonstrates a melodic gift that the band typically hides -- right until the sexually explicit monologue before the guitar solo. This is a release that only die-hard fans of Dying Fetus really need to hear, but they'll like it just fine.
