Cock and Ball Torture Australian tour January 2013!
Absolutely huge news for gore/grind fiends. German gore legends Cock and Ball Torture are heading down under in January 2013!
For that you can thank Southern Extremeties Productions in association with Grindhead Records and Shananigans Entertainment.
Here's the press release:
A progenitor of pitch-shifted, porn influenced goregrind, and one of the most influential groups within the style, Germany's Cock and Ball Torture make their first ever trip "Down Under" at the very start of 2013.
After 3 full lengths and several EPs and splits, the group is known and loved worldwide for their catchy, grooving, down-tuned, rancid horegrind, and have a strong and supportive worldwide fan base on the back of their impressive discography and excellent live performances.
After 15 years together, and countless successful shows and tours, the lurid lads decided it was finally time to make a trip to the "Land Down Under", and give Australia a taste of the aural filth they've been dishing up for 1 and a 1/2 decades.
So this is it, the tour so many have wanted to see: Cock and Ball Torture - Bulldozing Australia 2013.

Central West Death Fest: Prepare those of the Orange
This weekend Orange is going to experience something truly unique. An all ages Death/Grind/Doom/Hardcore one-day festival. Organised by Hill Billy Josh who claims that it will run annually, it has a diverse bunch of bands and is super cheap! The whole thing is going to be filmed and released on DVD.
Headlined by Mother Eel, Sydney's oldest grind based and most intense and disturbing live band with supports from Orange's own Infested Entrails, Blue Mountain's Festering Drippage (hot off the support slot for Macabre - and just announced support for Cock & Ball Torture) and Sydney's Lower Back Problems. The bill is rounded out by locals Dead-Life, Newcastle's Empirical, other locals Near Life Experience and Once Within Reach.
It'll be more fun than recreating scenes from The Hills Have Eyes or Wolfcreek!
