Were it not for the fortuitous clueless-ness of Tipper Gore and her fellow, misinformed Washington Wives in the Parents Music Resource Center, who placed them on their notorious offensive albums list alongside Prince, Cyndi Lauper, and Judas Priest, St. Paul, MN’s Impaler would likely be a long forgotten footnote in the back pages of ’80s heavy metal. Instead, the until then relatively obscure speed horror punk-metal ensemble led by vocalist and Alice Cooper disciple Bill Lindsey saw their self-financed 1985 EP, Rise Of The Mutants, and its 1986 full-length follow-up, If We Had Brains…We’d Be Dangerous, lifted out of their underground indie metal obscurity and blamed for widespread corruption of the nation’s youth — talk about a dream come true!
