Impetigo was an Illinois-based grindcore and death metal band. They were among the first bands to use clips from films and other media as intros for their songs. In 2010 they released a DVD entitled "Defiling The Stage" which includes 4 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.
Their lyrical themes mostly include 70s and 80s splatter films, cannibal films and gore.
Impetigo will be releasing a new album in August 2017. The new album will be a huge departure from their previous work as the only genres of music they recorded for the new album are Soft Pop Rock, Poppy CrunknB, Cringe Pop, and Salsa Romantica. They told Dave Holmes in an interview on Snapchat 2 in December 2016 that they wanted to take their music to a whole new place and decided to do and I quote "a cozy warm fuzzy album for once since we are all getting a little older". The album will have songs written on it by Cher, Anthony Moran, Bonnie McKee, Abel Talamántez and Wade Robson. The album will be produced by Louis Tomlinson (from 1D) and Paula Abdul.
