Go to the Gnaw Their Tongues website  Gnaw Their Tongues - An Epiphanic Vomiting of Blood [Crucial Blast - 0000]

This is truly is one of the most deranged, unpleasant, festering slabs of audio displeasure you’ll possible ever have come across. It literally hacksaw off the top of your head and pours in it’s tarry, diseased and blacked mix of doom, lo-grade industrial rhythmic pounds, discordant classical elements, decaying and maggot covered ambience, grim cimatics, noise and deeply disturbing samples.

Each track is its own densely carved, slit & battered nightmare that’s pulled open to let fester and infect your psyche. Each weaving in shifting and corrupted layers of; discordant strings promp & ear grating sawing, blacked choirs, grinding and flesh pulverising doom guitar work, guttural roars, synth work that either pumps out blacked banks of dread or macabre fairground simmer. With all manner of screams, pained wails, serial killer interviews and dialogue samples and basically everything else you could imagine that’s degrading and sickening. As you progresses through the albums wiggling and liquefying carcass you wonder if it might ease off or take it a bit easy on you, but each track is as airless and appalling as the next.

A few high points in all this degradation and sonic torture would be; Teeth that like open graves that links a disturbing serial killer interview with brooding strings that are ripped into by brutal hits of doomed guitar and blackly vomited on by guttural vocals. The sewer Rats of Calcutta with it’s suffocating doomy bass fed prog meets blacked operatics meets bruised electronics crawl feeling like a bobbing puss and maggot filled version of some of Goblin's work for Dario Argento's Suspiria soundtrack.

This was originally released early this year as an ltd vinyl on burning world, here it’s presented with an extra track and new/disturbing artwork. Really I can’t think of many projects that have made such a fearful, gut wrenching dense, dark and painful experience. This truly is a diseased and blacked nirvana of the highest order.
