Impulse Manslaughter was an American crossover band from Chicago , Illinois , which was formed in 1984 under the name Liberty Cabbage and broke up in 1993. She was one of the first bands to sign a contract with Nuclear Blast .

history

The band was formed on New Years Eve 1984 in the basement by drummer Glen Herman with bassist Chris Hanley. A short time later they changed their name and singer Karl Patton and guitarist Randy Sorkin joined the cast. The latter left the band a short time later and was replaced by guitarist Dan. The first appearances followed in Chicago, as well as in other places in the American Midwest. In the fall of 1986, the band went into the studio to record the first EP Burn One Naked and Nuke It .

After the release, guitarist Dan left the band, so Hanley switched from bass to electric guitar. Nick Stevens joined the band as the new bass player. This was followed by a tour of the east coast of the USA. After the tour, work began on the debut album He Who Laughs Last ... Laughs Alone , which was released via Underdog Records . In Europe the album was released through Nuclear Blast . Until the release, the band held another tour of the United States.

Since Nick Stevens was not considered to be particularly reliable, guitarist Mike Schäffer was added to the cast. This allowed Hanley to take over the bass when Stevens didn't show up. Schäffer later left the band to join the band Abomination . Before he left the band two songs were recorded for the new Metal Blade label, which was called Death Records . The song Pills appeared on the compilation Complete Death 2 . It also appeared on the European version of He Who Laughs Last ... Laughs Alone , along with the song Piss Me Off .

Bassist Vince Vogel joined the band to replace Stevens, which allowed Hanley to switch permanently to the electric guitar. With this line-up they recorded the next album called Logical End . The album was released in the US on Walkthrufyre Records and in Europe on Nuclear Blast. During the recording, Hanley left the band, followed a short time later by singer Patton. John Tolczyk was the new guitarist and Guy Aitchinson was the singer. Since the sound of the music had changed a lot due to the line-up changes, the band decided to change their name to Vermicious Knids for a short time. They soon changed their name back and singer Patton was back in the cast. After the album was released, a tour of Europe with Rostok Vampires followed . As Nuclear Blast was still inexperienced in planning tours, the tour ended in disaster as performances were poorly prepared or had to be canceled. This resulted in members leaving the band. First Hanley left the tour, followed a few weeks later by Herman and singer Patton.

However, this did not mean the end of the band. Dan Duchaine joined the line-up as the new drummer and Rob Lanam came as the new guitarist. After the band had not heard from for almost two years, they recorded the EP Sometimes in 1991, which was released on Nuclear Blast's label Mind Control Records . During the recording, Tolczyk left the band, as he devoted himself more to his side project, so that the band only consisted of four members. This was followed by the split release No War with the German band Provocation. Rob Lanam once did not show up for the band rehearsal, so Rick McKelvy played for him and came as a further member of the band. After a tour of the USA, as well as a few gigs in Canada , the band split up in 1993 after drummer Duchaine and bassist Vogel left the band.

After the split, some members went back to the studio to make one final recording. However, this recording was only released in 2004 as a compilation Live at WFMU via Beer City Records .

style

The band played fast crossovers, mixing metal , hardcore punk and punk together.
