Genitorturers
The Scars and Stripes Tour 2025 will bring The Genitorturers’ legendary live show across the UK for a series of explosive, boundary-pushing performances. Expect raw energy and the unrelenting industrial-metal sound that made them infamous worldwide.
Renowned for their status as agents provocateur of the underground hard rock and industrial metal scenes, the latex defining and pop-culture defying Genitorturers return with the Nov. 3, 2009 release of Blackheart Revolution [G-Force/MVD Entertainment].
The outfit’s fifth studio release, Blackheart Revolution is a mesmerizing blend of infectious riffs and riotous overtures that lay the sexually-charged foundation for frontwoman Gen, the master of turbo-charged ceremonies and erotic rituals. The Genitorturers live spectacle returns to the road fall 2009 with dates in the U.S and 2010 will include stops in Australia, Europe, UK and South America!
“We wanted to make a big rock record that translates the same excitement I felt when I heard AC/DC’s Highway to Hell for the first time, combined with the dark intrigue of Alice Cooper’s Welcome to My Nightmare,” says Gen of the new release. “We wanted something that shakes the walls, grabs you by the balls, and scares you a bit in the process!”
Mission accomplished, as Blackheart Revolution combines the band’s signature, genre-bending style of aggressive rock, seductive metal and underground electric pop. Co-Produced by David “Evil D” Vincent [Morbid Angel] and Scott Humphrey [Motley Crue, Rob Zombie, Ozzy Osbourne], the album is a roller coaster ride of musical twists, sonic turns and reckless abandon.
A product of Orlando, Florida’s musical underbelly, what Genitorturers lack in wholesome family fun, they make up for in their celebration of the unspeakable, embracing and exploring our conservative culture’s taboos. They caught the ear (and eye) of legendary music industry magnate Miles Copeland, who signed the band to their first deal on his I.R.S. label, where they joined the ranks of fellow Copeland signings Gary Numan, The Go-Gos and R.E.M.
The lead single from Blackheart Revolution, “Cum Junkie,” is currently available via digital release, as well as in limited-edition, 7-inch vinyl. The collectible physical release will be the first in a series of vinyl singles to be released from the album, each complete with expansive packaging and uncensored artistic detail.
From their beginnings as upstart mavericks, to their current status as veteran iconoclasts, the only boundaries the Genitorturers know are the boundaries that they shatter.
GENITORTURERS – Scars And Stripes Forever (Official Video)
The wait is over. The Genitorturers are back with a brand-new visual assault to kick off the Scars and Stripes era! Brace yourself for a raw, unfiltered dive into the band’s world of provocative performance, unapologetic rebellion, and in-your-face industrial metal energy.
The Genitorturers cut their teeth, honing their music and live show initially in the early 90’s Florida “Hardcore” music scene. What emerged would be a band that would go beyond shaking up the house that “Mickey” built and extend to paving the way and breaking ground for performance based music artists thereafter worldwide.
In 1993 the band caught the ear of Miles Copeland owner of IRS records, who had discovered and created careers for acts like REM, GoGo’s, The Bangles, Concrete Blond and STING. He was drawn to the band whose live shows were becoming infamous regionally and quickly sent his assistant Nick Turner ( former drummer for Lords of the New Church) to Florida to check out the band. Upon witnessing the power of the bands live show which included a music style which crossed over from hardcore punk into metal with industrial electronic elements, the band was offered a record contract and set out to record “120 Days of Genitorture”.
Since their 1993 IRS Records debut release of “120 Days of Genitorture”, the band has been covered by many high profile media outlets. Television coverage has included features on VHI, Fox News, Hard Copy, HBO’s Real Sex and Playboy TV’s “SEXCETERA”.
With over 5,000 pages of articles, recent printmedia coverage has included a feature in Gene Simmons “Tongue” magazine and 12 pages in Hustler magazine.. the ONLY multi-page spread EVER with a rock band.
In addition, extensive touring in the U.S., Europe and JAPAN have garnered them a devoted fan base worldwide, a growing number of whom travel to repeat shows calling themselves “GENHEADS” or fight tooth and nail when the band auctions off their annual “EVENING OF TORTURE” on EBAY. Lead singer Gen has even been the subject of a British release feature film “Preaching to the Perverted” a fictional account exploring her life and exploits.
Today GENITORTURERS have succeeded in making believers of even the stodgiest music critics who prior to witnessing them live had all but written them off as some kind of gimmick….“Yes, they have their schtick……but can they play? You betcha!. Their hard driving yet brutally sexy rock and roll sucks you in.. and once you are there you are hooked!
The bands release “Flesh is the Law “ includes the track “Lecher Bitch” which was released worldwide on the videogame & soundtrack release “Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines”
Earlier releases have included the cd ” Machine Love” which includes an incredible remake of the Divinyl’s hit “Touch Myself” produced by Dave Ogilvie(Skinny Puppy, NIN) and Rob Zombie producer Scott Humphrey .
Red Devil Vortex is a “retro-future metal” trio from Los Angeles, CA, delivering explosive live shows, massive hooks, fierce vocals, thunderous riffs, and jaw-dropping guitar solos. Formed in 2016, the band features Gabriel Connor (vocals, bass), Luis Kalil (guitars, vocals), and Luke Wright (drums).
Blending mystical and apocalyptic themes with sci-fi, horror, and anti-hero energy, they create dark yet vibrant visuals and a sound that feels like stepping into another world. Their debut EP Something Has To Die (2018) hit No. 16 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Chart and No. 49 on the Independent Albums Chart. It was followed by Dark Secrets (2022), featuring the acclaimed single Psycho, and the live release RDV’s In Town (2022) as a warm-up to their first full-length, Red Devil Vortex (2023). That album delivered fan favorites like Open The Gates, The Last Fight, and More Luck Than Brains, with Luis Kalil’s solo on More Luck Than Brains earning 3rd Best Guitar Solo of 2023 from Guitar World Magazine.
Since then, Red Devil Vortex has toured relentlessly with acts like Doyle (The Misfits), Powerman 5000, Epica, Genitorturers, and Kings of Thrash, bringing their unstoppable energy to stages across the U.S.
