BESTIAL MOUTHS at Valhalla
As the voice and spirit of BESTIAL MOUTHS, Lynette Cerezo is a powerfully haunting figure. Across international stages and recordings, spellbinding performances take audiences through voidic visions. From their inception in 2009, the core root of BESTIAL MOUTHS has combined Cerezo’s voice with myriad genre influences across the spectrum of Goth, Industrial, Post-Punk, Wave, Noise, Metal, and other underground sounds using live acoustic and electronic drums and analog synthesizers. With a history in fashion design and gender activism, Cerezo’s visual and social aesthetics are interwoven deeply into BESTIAL MOUTHS' presentation, building outward into captivating theatrical live performances. Since 2018, BESTIAL MOUTHS has been the sole project of Cerezo, blossoming outward as a channel to explore deeply personal lyrics of self-stagnation and trauma, encapsulated in the current darkwave trilogy of the INSHROUDSS EP, RESURRECTEDINBLACK LP, and THOUSANDNEEDLES remix LP.
