Cock And Ball Torture

The band was formed in early 1997 in Germany by three ex-Carnal Tomb members. After 6 months of rehearsals the trio visited a local studio and recorded a promo tape which covered 16 of the 28 songs they arranged. The promo was called "Cocktales". Afterwards the promo was re-released as a MCD in late 1998. The band then performed some gigs before making another release. They only use a fourth member at live shows, but otherwise they've always been a trio. Then in May 1999 a split with Squash Bowels was released. Same year they also signed to German label Subzero Records. At the labels studio they recorded their first full-length "Opus(sy) VI". Due to several problems concerning the distribution and promotion, the album was finally licensed to Shredded Records. In 2000 a split EP with Grossmember was released and another one with Libido Airbag. The debut album, "Opus(sy) VI", was also finally released same year. After the releases the band then embarked on various tours in different countries, featured on a 4-way split CD with Filth, Downthroat and NCC and then some played some more gigs. The band then returned home and started recording material for the next album. In 2002, some line-up changes occured, and the album "Sadochismo" was released. The album was followed by the MCD "Where girls learn to piss on command".
