"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 their new release 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.
?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.
The band has done extensive touring in the USA, Japan, and Europe and is internationally renowned for its exploits, provocative show content, and unique style of music.

From Wikipedia:The Genitorturers are an industrial metal/industrial rock/nu metal band from the United States, with influences extending into the 1990s Hardcore punk and Electronic music. They proclaim themselves to be "The World's Sexiest Rock Band".
Originating in Orlando, Florida, the band was founded by lead singer Gen while attending pre-med. The Genitorturers made their debut and progressed in the 1990s Florida "Hardcore" music scene with contemporary bands such as Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids that would also become a success in later years. According to the band's official web page biography: "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".
The Genitorturers were actually called The 'Festering Genitorturers'. Fronted by Marisa (vocals), Yvonne (guitar), Gen (bass), Larry (guitar), Mike (drums). First performance was at the Ocean Club in Cocoa Beach, Florida late 1986. Also on the bill was Declared Ungovernable, Belching Penguins, and The Rhythm Pigs.
In 1993, IRS Records owner Miles Copeland (who had discovered and nurtured careers for bands such as The Police, Sting, R.E.M., The Go-Go's, The Bangles and Concrete Blonde) sent his assistant Nick Turner (former drummer for Lords of the New Church) to see the band perform. The quality of the performance, as well as their musical style containing fused elements of hardcore punk, metal and industrial electronic led them to a record contract. Soon after that, they would record 120 Days of Genitorture. After recording this album, former Morbid Angel bassist/vocalist David Vincent (Gen's husband) joined the Genitorturers on bass. He left Morbid Angel after the 1995 album Domination to join his wife's band.
The band has done extensive touring in the United States, Japan, and Europe and is internationally renowned for its exploits, pornographic show content, and unique style of music.[citation needed]
Their most recent release Flesh is the Law (EP) includes the track "Lecher Bitch", which was also included in the November 2004 videogame release Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. Earlier releases have included Machine Love which contains a remake of the Divinyls' hit ?I Touch Myself? which was produced by Dave Ogilvie and Rob Zombie producer Scott Humphrey .
In 2006, they toured Australia, with Australian band Dead Inside the Chrysalis
In the fall of 2007, they released their live DVD Live in Sin, also selling autographed copies on eBay. They announced over MySpace as well as their website that their new album titled 'Blackheart Revolution' will be available in 2009.[citation needed]
