Impaler
From Gwar to This is Spinal Tap, heavy-metal culture has always been ripe for gentle ribbing. Local shock-metal band Impaler has been doing just that for 28 years, with more than 10 LPs and gallons of fake blood under its belt. Un-metal schoolmarm Tipper Gore actually broke the band in 1985 when she featured their album “Rise Of The Mutants” in Washington hearings on the depravity of pop music. The horror troupe still actively records; its latest LP, 2009’s Cryptozoology: Creatures of God?celebrated Loch Ness Monsters, chupacabras, and other godless beasts. You don’t have to be a metal fan to get a kick out of Impaler’s tongue-in-cheek live show.
