The Genitorturers

Important update from the promoter:

THE GENITORTURERS have transformed into GEN-XX. The difference from the Genitorturers you ask It’s the same domineering Frontwoman, performing with her band stripped down, churning out a near identical set to that which the full genitorture contingent would’ve torn through your ears. Apologies for any inconveniences incurred by this unforeseen change

Aphasia, Riveting, Fiend and Riot are proud to present the return of the sexually charged Industrial Fetish act THE GENITORTURERS to Auckland this April on their Blackheart Revolution tour. Strictly R18, this will be one of the biggest Fetish events of the year backed by local acts from around the country mixing crushing beats with theatrical foreplay. The night includes the extreme suspension artistry of SKINDEPENDENT (Chch.) and the now world-renown Burlesque of EVA STRANGELOVE (Well.), who has performed onstage with the likes of Combichrist. Opening for the Genitoruers is the continuing return of CRIPPLE MR ONION, back from some time off spent rebuilding and grinding up the gear for another destructive crack at the New Zealand metal scene. This tour is supported by Riot Entertainment, one of the main Metal distributors in Australia! This will be a must gig for fans of Rammstein, KMFDM and Skinny Puppy.

The Genitorturers are one of the most recognised and genre defying groups of the music underground. Their stage show, known for its piercingly explicit theatrical overtones and a pastiche of fetishes from all dispositions, has become a thing of fringe rock legend. What surprises many is how influential this group is, hardcore fans even tattoo the pin-up image of Gen, the band's singer and master of ceremonies, on their bodies. With a lineup featuring members of Morbid Angel and past collaborations with members of KMFDM & Skinny Puppy, the group maintains a steady touring schedule in the US and abroad.

Described as the world’s sexiest rock band, the Genitorturers cut their teeth, honed their music and live show in the early 90’s Florida “Hardcore” music scene. The vision of front woman Gen, the sound of the Genitorturers combined hardcore punk and metal with industrial electronic elements, and with live shows that became legendary and infamous.
In the wake of the 1993 debut “120 Days of Genitorture” and successive releases, the band has been the subject of over 5,000 pages of articles, and appeared in television features on VH1, Fox News, Hard Copy, HBO’s Real Sex and Playboy TV’s Sexcetera. Gen herself has even been the subject of a British release feature film “Preaching to the Perverted”, a fictional account exploring her life and exploits.
