Genital Shame
Genital Shame, experimental black metal from Pittsburgh, PA, is the one-person project of Erin Dawson. Though Dawson is the only member of Genital Shame, she has recruited Stander (Chicago) as her backing band. On bass, drums, and guitar Stephen Waller, Derek Applebee, and Mike Boyd help Dawson veer from heavily distorted tremolo-picked guitar and distant propulsive drums to a gentle, bedroom pop ambience. Genital Shame, ultimately, is a queering of the sonic traditions and musical form of black metal.
