On August 11th, Bestial Mouths will unveil their highly anticipated album titled “R.O.T.T. (inmyskin)” through Negative Gain Productions. The band’s sixth studio offering follows their 2020 release “Resurrectedinblack.” Helmed by the unwavering Lynette Cerezo, the driving force and voice behind the project, Bestial Mouths have crafted a genre-defying presence in the realm of extreme metal. Influenced by 80’s thrash and death metal, their sound bears the captivating intensity of Siouxsie’s gothic wail, a relentless force that chafes, chills, and entrances the senses.
Producer Rhys Fulber, a Juno Award-winning figure known for his work with Front Line Assembly and Delerium, has breathed life into “R.O.T.T. (inmyskin),” steering the album’s trajectory into a resonant, entrancing soundscape. A journey spanning from Bestial Mouths’ 2019 release “INSHROUDSS EP,” which marked Lynette Cerezo’s debut as the sole songwriter, to their present sonic voyage, this album resonates with deeply personal lyrics addressing self-stagnation and trauma. A thematic thread that began with “INSHROUDSS EP” is meticulously woven into the fabric of “R.O.T.T. (inmyskin),” a crystalline fusion of pop’s broad palette with raw, polished edges, inviting both introspection and movement.
Cerezo passionately speaks of the album’s essence: “The path to ‘R.O.T.T. (inmyskin)’ has been as tumultuous as the music itself; always afflicted by doubts, it was honestly surprising to me to finally reach the sonic realm where I feel Bestial Mouths resides. Rhys Fulber’s sterling production really opened up the feel of the album. I wanted to express these same traumas, these looped cycles and patterns, yet peel back some of the rot to show an inner strength, unbreakable. A fury polished by repetition, to send desecration amongst pathetic bullies. To dance with your death, and still find humor and joy amongst the ruin.”
Founded in 2009, Bestial Mouths, under the steadfast guidance of Cerezo, has seamlessly melded various genre influences, ranging from goth, industrial, and post-punk to New Wave, noise, and metal. The band’s dynamic live performances are an embodiment of their ethos, integrating live and acoustic instrumentation alongside electronic drums and analog synthesizers. Cerezo’s background in fashion design and gender activism infuses their visual and social aesthetics, rendering their stage presence captivatingly theatrical.
