GNAW THEIR TONGUES Confirms First US Live Performance; Comp Track ‘Slaves’ Now Streaming

Gnaw Their Tongues

As Crucial Blast prepares to release the mammoth Collected Atrocities 2005-2008 compilation of early works from The Netherlands’ horrific industrial/doom entity, GNAW THEIR TONGUES, a track from the select anthology sees public exhibition, as the booking of the act’s first American live performances have begun.

While some have followed this act since its foundation, each GNAW THEIR TONGUES release continues to feed upon new populations, fueling solo artist Mories (Aderlating, Cloak Of Altering, etc.) and his contempt for the human race, while drawing new unsuspecting victims into its tumultuous undertow. One recent victim happens to employ coverage at Sound Colour Vibration webzine commune, and so the infection spreads, as the portal hosts a sample of what the Collected Atrocities 2005-2008 early works collection entails. Alongside a stream of the track Slaves, which actually slipped past all of the early GNAW THEIR TONGUES EPs and remains unique to this collection.

Unearth Slaves now at Sound Colour Vibration.

Also check Glorification Of Rats from the 2007-released Prefering Human Skin Over Animal Fur release over on Bandcamp.

10/09-11/2015 Oakland Metro – Oakland, CA @ California Deathfest [info]

For nearly a decade, Dutch avant-black/doom entity, GNAW THEIR TONGUES – named after a particularly evocative passage from the Book Of Revelation — has been infecting the underground with a uniquely disturbing brand of chaotic heaviness. Fusing together malevolent, rumbling doom with rabid, noise-damaged aggression and blasts of fearsome orchestral power and industrial pandemonium, and draping these lurching, hellish dirges in an oppressive atmosphere thick with horror and despair, the intensely nightmarish music of GNAW THEIR TONGUES defies easy categorization.

The sum of all GTT’s construction and execution is the work of sole architect and madman, Mories, also known for other destructive output with Cloak of Altering, Pyriphlegethon, De Magia Veterum, Aderlating, Mors Sonat, Pompidou, Dimlit Hate Cellar and others. Before the debut An Epiphanic Vomiting Of Blood LP in 2007, GNAW THEIR TONGUES crawled into the black metal/industrial underground via a number of ultra-limited EPs which quickly went out of print, and are now sought after by fans of the band’s abject blackened horror. Collected Atrocities 2005-2008 is a new double CD anthology that gathers together essential, out-of-print early recordings from the band that span the first three years of GNAW THEIR TONGUES’s existence, compiling the Prefering Human Skin Over Animal Fur, Horse Drawn Hearse and For All Slaves… A Song Of False Hope EPs, the material from the Static Hymnal compilation, and other rarities from the bowels of the GTT archive.
