Cock and Ball Torture

Jesus unicycling Christ these fuckers make me laugh. I've listened to them sober, I've listened to them drunk, I've listened to them hungover, and it never fails. Step forward the band that most makes me want to form a record label called Trough, Cock and Ball Torture.

That rarest of types -- Germans with a sense of humour -- these lads might not have an indecipherable logo but that's more than made up for by having a suitably unpleasant name, the sort of thing you don't want to search for from your work PC, or leave in your google toolbar when you take a screenshot of something to send to your mother. It's nice that their official website comes up first when I search for it, 'cos I'm glad not to have to trawl through pages and pages of things like this:



  1. Cock torture and ball torture femdom. Submissive men get their balls crushed and trampled. ... ENTER COCK TORTURE. Links: More Female domination and cock torture ...

  2. Cock and ball torture (CBT) is a sexual activity involving torture of the male genitals. ... stories dealing with Cock & Ball Torture, Ballbusting and FemDom ...

when searching for them. Nice.

Anyway. Do this lot oink? Do they fucking ever. I dunno how he manages but this vocalist sounds like a family of pigs at feeding time. I've never heard vocals like it. I mean, really. There's a few tunes on their myspace page (pretty shitty sound on there) and more on the media page of their appalling-to-navigate website and have a listen. I defy anyone to not piss themselves laughing. The vocals at the start of the wonderfully named Anal Sex Terror, for example. The music's not half bad either. I mean I can't claim to be blown away by it, but that's possibly because I can't really concentrate on or hear it, beneath the vocals and my howls of laughter. The main riff in Poontang Clan sounds like a rip-off of something though, definitely familiar.

They're a touring band, internationally, which is handy. From their blog I see that they were meant to play last summer in the UK with Gorerotted but it fell through, and it doesn't seem like they've any dates lined up soon. Shame. It's not a phrase I ever really imagined I'd be saying but it seems I've no choice: I want to see Cock and Ball Torture live. Now lets see what ads google shoves on this entry.
