    Artist History
    CervixCouch is fromed under the influence of horror movies(friday the 13, halloween, psycho, night of the living dead etc) and old goth cultheros like Alien Sex Fiend, Christian Death..Bauhaus Sisters of Mercy.Aim is to create and bring the listener into a mindscape of B-GRADE horror movies and view of their distorted vision.Plus tired of the boring music scene in Singapore(infested with Hardcore, indies and punk). Nobody ever take goth or understandthe meaning of Goth. Thus all this lead to the forming of CervixCouch .Out to Shock the music scene back home and get themselves banned on national airplay!!!

    Press Reviews
    With the advent of the industrial technological age, it is not surprising that similarities of sounds found in an urban society eventually turn up in music. In some ways, industrial music delves beyond the parameters of mere entertainment and emphasizes the harsh reality of angst and apathy throughout the world. Cervix Couch from Singapore make this glaringly apparent and remain one of the very few goth/industrial bands to come from that country. The band itself is not unfamiliar with controversy, simply because their name alone has banned them from any national radio play. Rather than give in to this pressure, they maintained the name and are finding a large audience outside their country and are slowly becoming underground heroes in their own culture in Singapore. "Where the Children Hiding?" A play on many of the childhood fables where the little children had to run from the bogey man who was going to eat them. There are samples of screams that make this a particularly chilling industrial song, since it is an adult soundtrack to a cannibalistic story line. "Something Wicked This Way.." Industrial darkwave with touches of modern goth metal which was inspired by the novel written by Caitlin R. Kiernan Silk according to the artists. The song plays on the paranoia's and fears of any one living in an urban society, whether it is the US or across the world in Singapore. "Hole in Head" Grunge Electronics adequately playing with the rising anger in one's mind when a boss from hell has put us through the wringer for the final time before we completely explode. "Burn" Darkwave goth style guitar opening with a more melodic industrial layering. The band was once accused of being a "sell out" for this cut, however, all the tracks delve into the hardest edges of industrial cacophony, so one can only assume their detractors have an ax to grind. In no way is this song any less hard edged than the others they have created. The 4 song EP of Something Wicked This Way Comes clearly demonstrates the rising anger at a world gone mad. The band eschewed any EBM influences and created harsh sounds to reflect an even harsher reality. The validity of the familiar but hostile terrain often depicted in much of today’s music is yet again explored and sliced open with a sonic fury. If you enjoy your goth/industrial with the hardest edge imaginable, Cervix Couch delivers. -Mike Ventarola (Goth/Industrial Promoter)
