Warthur
Lyrically, Blackheart Revolution follows the same thematic playbook as its predecessors in the Genitorturers discography - horny gothic dominatrix fantasies are the order of the day - but musically it feels like the band spent the time since their last major burst of recording activity giving their sound a refresh, adding a muscular alternative metal undercurrent to things and dialling back on the more well-worn industrial metal clichés whilst still remaining broadly in the same ballpark. Is it a defiant rallying cry for alternative sexuality, or just an attempt by the Genitorturers to move with the times? Listener, it's both, and whilst it's no top-tier classic, it's a neat new direction for the group, and if it is to be their swansong, it's a solid way to go out.
