The quality of the performance, as well as their musical style containing fused elements of hardcore punk, metal and industrial electronics, led them to a record contract. In 1993, IRS Records owner Miles Copeland III sent his assistant Nick Turner (former drummer for The Lords of the New Church) to see the band perform. According to the band's official biography, "What emerged would be a band that would go beyond shaking up the house that 'Mickey' built and extend to paving the way and breaking ground for performance based music artists thereafter worldwide". Shortening their name to The Genitorturers, the band underwent various personnel changes and progressed in the 1990s Florida "hardcore" music scene, with contemporary bands such as Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids, who would also become a success in later years. Also on the bill was Declared Ungovernable, Belching Penguins, and The Rhythm Pigs. Their first performance was at the Ocean Club in Cocoa Beach, Florida, in late 1986. Originally called The Festering Genitorturers, the band consisted of Marisa (vocals), Yvonne (guitar), Gen (bass), Larry (guitar) and Mike (drums).
Originating in Orlando, Florida, the band was founded by lead singer Gen while attending pre-med. They proclaim themselves to be "The World's Sexiest Rock Band". The Genitorturers are an industrial metal band from the United States, with influences extending into the 1990s hardcore punk and electronic music.
