Guts of a Virgin is the first album by American band Painkiller, a band featuring John Zorn, Bill Laswell and Mick Harris. [5] [6] It contains twelve tracks and was released in 1991 on Toy's Factory in Japan and Earache Records in England.
The cover art, which features a bald woman with her insides exposed, was censored, seized and destroyed the first shipment in the UK for violating the Obscene Publications Act. [7]
The Quietus called the album "intense but still something you could call ' rock.'" [8] Trouser Press called it an "exposition of versatile thrash jazz," writing that "each instrument occupies its own sonic terrain, combining in a sprawl of unanticipated death metal." [9]
