Impaler

Band,
Rock

Impaler is a Shock Rock/Speed Metal band from Eagan, Minnesota. Formed in 1983, the band is known for their over-the-top lyrics and horror-based theatrical live shows, complete with cages, pyro and extreme amounts of blood. Impaler established in 1983 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Signed with Combat Records in 1984 and released Rise Of The Mutants (1985) and If We Had Brains We'd Be Dangerous (1986) prompting national attention with their raw brand of shock rock and capturing headlines when the Washington Wives fronted by Tipper Gore used Impaler as an example of the wicked influence rock music had on our nations youth. Sizable record sales amassed in the wake of the controversy and Impaler continues to release cds and dvds.
