MZZTR is a multi-genre, heavy performance band from NY, blending heavy metal, prog, alt-metal, punk, and rock with equal parts chaos and swagger.
Their front person effortlessly shifts pitch, techniques and range, while the band rocks hard with custom masks, costumes and riffs that hit and arouse like a freight train dosed in cocaine. They indulge in intentionally shocking, kink influenced, comedic behavior both onstage and off.
Daddy Adam shreds on guitar and flexes his muscles with equal intensity, while Lick Me Lulu brings the thunder with a bass that rattles bones and everyone’s genitals. Debbie Danny? Well, he sucks everyone’s souls out with his otherworldly double bass skills and the band’s famous Disco-Snare tm.
You never know what you’re going to witness at a MZZTR show: a slap in the face by a consenting participant? A sermon to sermon your loins? The official MZZTR communion? Bowl Boy’s sacrifice? Ya gotta see it to believe it. Ultimately their music cums first, but whoever is blessed to cum to a live MZZTR show is the true winner. If you’re into old-school theatrical performances, blood-soaked rituals, and comedy, these freaks are for you.
They sound like if Rammstein, System of a Down, Melvins, and Mr. Bungle had a sexy baby, raised it on chaos, and fed it nasty raw riffs. They harp on metal pioneers from Alice Cooper, Gwar, King Diamond, The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black, Genitorturers, Ghost, Kiss- but in the end, you have to see a MZZTR show to witness their hot, transgressive act, which will make you have intrusive thoughts such as, “man, I wanna makeout with every member in MZZTR” while headbanging and screaming their themed sermon of the day.
Mzztr is available for your next bill, metal, rock, punk, prog, your local bar/bat mitzvahs, weddings, funerals, divorces, best friend breakups, gender reveals, drag shows, clown shows, blood ritual shows, apocolypse shows and more :)
