Impetigo was an Illinois-based hardcore punk, 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 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.
