“CUNTROACHES are the most important and life-affirming band on the planet.” – Maximumrocknroll
“Their sound is as utterly compelling, disturbing, eyebrow-raising and violent as their name suggests. This is chaos of the highest, most brutal order and is a vicious assault on the senses.” – CVLT Nation.
"Cuntroaches - a name inexplicably unused throughout the history of bands, orchestras... any grouping of people really... As it is, the mantle’s (finally) been taken up by two women and a bloke making ferociously warped hardcore-flecked no wave. Mutating waves of feedback intoxicate and induce hangovers all at once, obscene bass sounds - and the vocals - reverbed to an absurd degree - approach black metal levels of demonic witchery." - The Quietus
From SKiN GRAFT Records:
The road to the release of Cuntroaches “Cuntroaches” album starts with the recording of Ill, Borborygmus 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.
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 noise have been channeled into a dense, overwhelming wall of sound. Live, this is 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 the band's 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”).
Since 2015, Berlin’s noise wave iconoclasts Cuntroaches have defiled countless venues across Europe and the UK, playing festivals such as Lausanne Underground Music & Film Festival, Pohoda, Nothing Nice To Say, Wolf City, Fluff Fest and CTM (captured by a 360 degree camera for the 2021 edition).
Get out the VR gear and take in the track “Ill” HERE.
Start at ground zero (00:00) and watch all the way through to the songs climax at 04:55).
They self-released their demo on cassette in 2016 and a 7” EP on the Berlin-based labels, Teratology and Instruments of Discipline, in 2018. A 12” split record with UK’s Guttersnipe on Anxious Music (Glasgow) followed in 2020.
In 2023, Cuntroaches directed their first music video for the track, Borborygmus, which was featured on SKiN GRAFT Records Halloween album Sounds To Make You Shudder! in a lithe three minute, forty-two second version. An engorged and expanded recording of Borborygmus launches this self-titled debut.
