CUNTROACHES Announce Debut LP via SKiN GRAFT Records!

The road to the release of Cuntroaches “Self-Titled” album starts with the recording of Ill, Boborygmus and Gordian Knot. “We recorded Erbium:YAG, Gravity System, Red Velvet Rose and new versions of I Can (Still) Tell You’re (Scum) and Inside Me later.” - explain the members of Cuntroaches. The Berlin-based band put in the hours to craft their debut LP - finally set to release this February. 

“The original versions of I Can Tell You’re Scum and Inside Me came out on a split record with Guttersnipe (from Leeds, UK) at the height of lockdown in 2020. The label immediately disbanded and the whole thing fell flat”. While the majority of the material for the new LP was written, the band reworked the original songs, incorporating a wide range of influences, but maintaining a devastating focus. Metal, punk, hardcore and experimental noise have been channeled into a dense, overwhelming wall of sound. Live, this is often combined with some form of performative mischief (if they’re in the mood). Audiences have been subjected to spewing beer bra harnesses, diaper outfits, empty pet food containers or witnessed band members performing from inside of a trash bag. They’ve thrown a lot of trash on a lot of people. 

“Martina (vocalist/guitarist) built a functional warhorn out of septic pipes that we ripped out of some rich dude’s bathroom at a crappy renovation job. It was pitched down, distorted and included on the intro of Gravity System”. This is an example of the unconventional approach Cuntroaches took when recording the basic tracks in bands’ windowless rehearsal room. It was then meticulously mixed by the band and mastered by Daniel Husayn (North London Bomb Factory) in 2023.

Dedicated to Schtinky (2012-2023) “our sweet cat, who unfortunately left this mortal plane before the album was completed”) the self-titled Cuntroaches LP is coming out this February 23rd via SKiN GRAFT Records. Pre-order here. Follow Cuntroaches at www.cuntroaches.com.
