Now this is an imaginative and evocative mix of extreme sounds. Imagine, if you will, the typical monochromatic black metal sound, then mix in a swollen, gangrenous slab of proto-ambient classical-drone bombast, and what you get? Gnaw Their Tongues know, as they create precisely that. The opener, the provocatively-titled "My Orifices Await Ravaging", is a torturous and dramatic nightmare soundtrack that's infinitely more horrific than any scary-movie score I've heard in many a year. Indeed, GTT creates brutal symphonies of slow, doomy grind infused with industrial-noise, sadistic samples, symphonic elements, and layered drones. But where groups like Sunn O))) create epic, slow-burn doom/drone manifestos, Gnaw Their Tongues are more hyperactive and paranoid, whisking the listener away on a voyage into the minds of perverts, murderers, and the criminally insane. It's not a nice and comfy place, needless to say. "Verbrannt Und Verflucht" is a stunning assault of malevolence, joining a funereal dirge with an oppressively blackened sense of palpable tension. Other cuts, like "Broken Fingers Point Upwards In Vain" wash over the listener with a threatening sense of foreboding. Gnaw Their Tongue's richly cinematic tones are awash with dread and fear. Enter at your own risk. (Crucial Blast)
