Impetigo was an American grindcore band. They were among the first bands to use clips from films and other media as intros for their songs.
Overview
[edit]Their lyrical themes mostly include 1970s and '80s splatter films, cannibal films and gore.
In 2010 they released a DVD entitled Defiling the Stage which includes four live acts, one in 1987, two in 1990 and one reunion show from 2007.
In 2003, Razorback Records released Wizards of Gore, an Impetigo tribute album, featuring Blood Duster, Mortician, Machetazo, Impaled, Haemorrhage, Exhumed, Cock and Ball Torture, Lymphatic Phlegm, Last Days of Humanity, Gore Beyond Necropsy, Lord Gore, and more. Razorback Records has also released the "ultimate" reissues of the Ultimo Mondo Cannibale and Horror of the Zombies albums, which include the original artwork, liner notes by bassist/vocalist Stevo Dobbins, and bonus tracks.
