GENITORTURERS
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.

RED DEVIL VORTEX
The band know for their “explosive wall of sound” has been building a loyal fanbase around the United States. After two succesful national tours with Doyle (The Misfits) in 2023 and 2024 (also featuring Otep), Red Devil Vortex is creating their unique universe through heavy music, high energy performances and shoking visuals. In 2025, they hit the US stages with Powerman 5000, Epica and Kings Of Thrash, promoting their new single “THE LAST FIGHT”.
The song encapsulates RDV's retro-futuristic rock essence as the lyrics work as a dialogue in an epic story about a relentless warrior who stands defiant, locked in a never-ending battle with Death itself—the gatekeeper of eternity. Every fight leaves him tainted, yet he refuses to surrender, embracing resilience while gambling with fate. The track is part of RDV’s self-titled 2023 album, featuring "Open The Gates," "Walking The Wire," and "More Luck Than Brains"—which earned Guitar World Magazine’s #3 Best Guitar Solo of 2023. Bringing the song to life, RDV drops a surreal music video by JosiahX (Disturbed, Asking Alexandria) and launches their ACTION FIGURES in a limited edition with their own animated series on social media. The figures are available for pre-order now at RDVstore.com.
Red Devil Vortex was created in Los Angeles, CA and first made waves with their first EP, “Something Has To Die” (2018), hitting the US Billboard Charts at No #16 (Heatseekers Chart) and No #49 (Independent Albums Chart), followed by “Dark Secrets” (EP - 2022) and the live album “RDV’s In Town” (2022). Their fans call themselves “The Devilheads” as Red Devil Vortex keeps proving to be a force to be reckoned with, breaking boundaries in different ways to engage and grow with their audience in their immersive world.
