Cunt is the 3rd full-length album by Australian grindcore band Blood Duster. Despite, or because of, its deliberately vulgar and anti-commercialist title, Cunt proved to be the band's most successful release to date, earning them high amounts of radio play, especially by Triple J, even though its title did make life difficult for the distributors and it didn't make it into many high street shops for the same reason.

The title, however, was not the only point of controversy about this album. The original album cover, an image of a decapitated Fred Durst,[1] drawn by Wes Benscoter, was dismissed by their label, Relapse Records, for fear of getting sued.[1]

This album also saw the release of the band's first single, Pornstorestiffi in the form of a nu metal parody video played on Channel V, a channel on which the band was also interviewed.

The album was a return to a more death/grind style after their Southern Rock-themed release Str8 Outta Northcote, but the band does slip in some catchy rock riffs.[citation needed] This album also features a cover of the Impetigo song Dis-Organ-Ized, which originally featured on the tribute Wizards Of Gore, released on Razorback Records.

Cunt has 93 riffs and 2068 words[citation needed], listed in the style of Iron Maiden's Live After Death[citation needed], and a large amount of porn-themed audio samples from movies, mostly from Boogie Nights as well as Orgazmo and Australian film Get A Dog Up Ya.

As a result of this album, the company Cole Clark Guitars decided to use Blood Duster to endorse their products, producing for them a guitar with the 'Cunt' logo across it.[citation needed] Guitarist Belthrower still uses this guitar.[citation needed]
