Bestial Mouths Share New Album ‘R.O.T.T (inmyskin)’
As the voice and spirit of Bestial Mouths, Lynette Cerezo is a powerfully haunting figure. On stages all across the world, her enthralling performances take audiences to deeply emotional voidic visions.
For Bestial Mouths, their brand-new nine-track album, R.O.T.T. (inmyskin), signifies the start of the new cycle. The album features Bestial Mouths at its most polished, marking the pinnacle of singer Lynette Cerezo’s journey thus far—emerging from trauma to reimagine the band as a solo-driven endeavor. Produced by Rhys Fulber, the album meditates on the darkwave oddities and industrial experiments of earlier works with tekno danceability.
R.O.T.T. (inmyskin), explores the lusher aspects of the wide palettes of darkwave, industrial, post-punk, and dread pop while dissecting the rawness of previous works to reveal polished, shining bone. Linking the tech-noir of THOUSANDNEEDLES remix LP to the charged industrialism and creativity of their previous album RESURRECTEDINBLACK, the album is a deeply moving listen that takes you to that universally accessible emotional whirlwind of ekstatik memory, which is as accessible as death.
The purer manufacturing simply serves to heighten the power of Bestial Mouths, giving ‘THE KNIFE’ razor-sharpened synthetic sadness and searing slow-burner ‘VAST MURMUR’ enormous weight. Cerezo soars like an enraged demon, crafting auditory magic and exaltations as beautiful as they are pain-soaked in genetic memory, exhorting bodily sovereignty with the anthemic ‘Hex (The Spell)’. ‘SLITSKIN’ challenges that very anthemization by posing the question of what transpires when a person outgrows their body yet remains imprisoned within it. Ultimately, the ‘ROAD OF THOUSAND TEARS’ tests one’s ability to persevere through all hardships. A sound created by an endless cycle of repetition and pattern, like tunneling hopes into your skin only to become stuck in the same patterns.
R.O.T.T. (inmyskin), is a resonant piece of trauma pop that cries out for the dance floor, bringing you into that emotional vortex of shared ekstasis—as accessible as death—while teetering toward the light but always drawn backwards into the darkness of reality.
Speaking on the track, Bestial Mouths share, “Our new record on NGP bridges the experimentalism and charged industrialism of RESURRECTEDINBLACK with the remixed technoir of THOUSANDNEEDLES: a culmination of being fed naught but want and envy, of feeling things crumble even as you build them, and the unceasing desire to come together and dance. We all need it, we’re all yearning for it. This album is our internal release toward that end.”

ARTIST BIO
From their inception in 2009, the core root of Bestial Mouths has combined Lynette Cerezo’s voice with myriad genre influences across the spectrum of darkwave, industrial, post-punk, New Wave, noise, metal, and other underground sounds using live acoustic and electronic drums and analog synthesizers.
Bestial Mouths, Cerezo’s solo project since 2018, has grown to become a platform for the exploration of intensely personal songs about trauma and self-stagnation. Cerezo’s visual and social aesthetics are intricately intertwined throughout Bestial Mouth’s presentation, radiating outward into compelling theatrical live performances. Cerezo has a background in both fashion design and gender activism.
Bestial Mouths has collaborated with numerous well-known producers and musicians during their more than ten years in business. Psychic TV, Austra, Chelsea Wolfe, DAF, 3 Teeth, OAKE, Front Line Assembly, White Ring, Suicide Commando, David J, King Dude, Youth Code, Cut Hands, and Light Asylum are just a few of the collaborators and stage partners they have worked with, along with Zola Jesus, Mick Harvey, Egyptrixx, Boy Harsher, Die Krupps, Mater Suspiria Vision, Zanias, The Horrorist, and Ludovico Technique.
This October, Hip-hop inna yardie style (old school fusion between reggae and hip-hop) collective L’Entourloop are set to rock UK stages, with shows in Liverpool, London & Bristol. Their Bristol date at The Trinity Center and their first London date at Village Underground are already SOLD OUT, leading to a second London date being added to deal with the high demand that L’Entourloop’s unforgettable shows create.
The dates will see L’entourloop hitting higher than ever as they perform tracks from their huge back catalogue, as well as their latest 20 track album “La clarté dans la confusion” (“Clarity in Confusion”).
Produced in their now legendary Bandulu Studio, the new album is a result of a patient production process, carried out with care and passion. Throughout the album, L’Entourloop testifies in its own way via a puzzle of film samples, of this strange period that we have just gone through collectively, using all its savoir faire when it comes to make the people dance.
Since 1964, when the song “My Boy Lollipop” flooded the European radio airwaves, L’Entourloop’s love for reggae and its culture has never stopped growing. With this third album, they wanted to pay tribute to the legendary pioneers of this incredible movement – artists and producers such as Tom Wong, Count Machuki, Prince Buster and Lee “Scratch” Perry. An album which is a true declaration of love for soundsystem culture and its children – reggae, dancehall and hip-hop.
The success of their previous albums “Chickens in Your Town” (2015) and “Le Savoir Faire” (2017), with their famous “Banging Hip-Hop Inna Yardie Style” quickly brought L’Entourloop into the spotlight, along with their hundreds of shows performed all over Europe. The mysterious collective continues to bring together an ever-growing audience around the world, as proved by their hundreds of millions of plays on music platforms.
True lovers of vinyl and old cinema, in their perpetual quest for the ultimate sample, the insatiable diggers kept their fans waiting by first dropping the excellent DJ-Mix “Start From Scratch” in the summer of 2021, followed by a series of 3 official remixes, including the Reunion Island anthem “Li Sem”.
Another striking characteristic of L’Entourloop is the great ability of King James and Sir Johnny to gather incredible guests from around the world. Whether with Skarra Mucci and their now classic “Dreader Than Dread” or their excellent EP “Golden Nuggets” (2019), Capleton for the extravagant remix of “Burn Dem Down”, producer Panda Dub they collaborated with on “Le Bonheur” or French singer Biga Ranx for their hit “Push The Limits”, L’Entourloop has the gift of giving birth to collaborations that mark the spirits.
With no less than 32 guests from all over the world, MCs fling lyrics like guns like in a western movie and the new album is no exception!
On the reggae side, Jamaican legends such as Ken Boothe and Bounty Killer meet new generation stars such as Alborosie, Kabaka Pyramid, Queen Omega and Marcus Gad. On the hip-hop side Chali 2Na from legendary US group Jurassic 5, Swedish MC Promoe from Looptroop Rockers, US rapper Rêverie, the excellent JuJu Rogers, French beatmaker Degiheugi and the irresistible South African female rapper Dope St Jude all make appearances.
The UK vibe can also be felt with features from jungle and dancehall pioneers General Levy and Tippa Irie as well as heavyweights of the grime scene Flowdan, Lady Chann and Killa P. Fellow French artists are also in the spotlight with guests such as Big Red, O.B.F and Manudigital. To complete this amazing cast, L’Entourloop has once again called on the incomparable Troy Berkley from Bermuda and the talented trumpeter N’Zeng, formerly of Le Peuple de l’Herbe, to accompany the collective on the road alongwith a new addition – excellent Dutch rapper BlabberMouf, who has just joined the killer new live show.
