Genitorturers U.S. Headlining Tour Featuring Openers Mortiis To Kick Off August 31, 2006

GENITORTURERS have announced the U.S. "TORTURED SOULS" tour, which will kick off August 31 in Baton Rouge, La., and hit cities throughout the U.S.

The tour will also feature opening act MORTIIS from Norway, whose concept driven live shows have garnered fans worldwide.

East coast stops will include a special appearance at the legendary CBGBs on September 20, coinciding the legendary venue’s month of special events prior to its final closure.

Genitorturers current line up includes “EVIL D” David Vincent, lead singer/bassist of MORBID ANGEL on Bass, Bizz on guitar, and Joey Letz, formerly of AMEN, on drums.

“We’re really excited to be touring with the Genitorturers, as I’ve personally been fascinated by and into them for years,” said Mortiis’ frontman and namesake. “We think our aggressive approach to industrial rock and energetic live shows will complement the Genitorturers’ sound and live show perfectly.”

Upon returning from their successful summer European tour, which included a headlining spot at this year’s WGT: Wave Gothik Fest, GENITORTURERS inked a deal with MVD Entertainment for the upcoming DVD release “LIVE IN SIN.” Set for release in the fourth quarter, the DVD will be the band’s first live concert DVD and include tour footage shot worldwide, as well as behind the scenes footage.

GENITORTURERS have also completed tracking their latest full length CD release and are currently in negotiations with labels for this release, projected for early 2007.

Stay tuned for GENITORTURERS Australian and European dates to be announced to follow the U.S. tour.
