Gnaw Their Tongues - Abyss of Longing Throats

Gnaw Their Tongues - Abyss of Longing Throats
2015 / Black metal, Industrial, Experimental, Noise


Throats can be used to many things. They mainly serve a purpose to deliver the foods and drinks to the right destination. Slitting them or screaming are some other things people do with them, as the mastermind behind the project, Mories, told in an interview he gave to Noisey. He also mentions the every day terrors as one of the inspirations to him, and these horrifying acts and events can be heard through his music. A soundtrack to the eternal mutilation and horror.

This is not the first time noise and industrial are being used together with black metal. The result could be quite an awful listening experience, if done in a wrong way, but 'Abyss of Longing Throats' is a wonderfully frightening album. Even if the thoughts' topics it evokes are mainly about the cruelty of the mankind, the soundscape occasionally has a soothing feel. You sort of manage to share the disappointment in humanity that Mories feels. 

Recommended to people who generally enjoy somewhat unpleasant feelings caused by music and to people who liked The Body's 'I Shall Die Here.' Top tracks: 'Abyss of Longing Throats' & 'Up into the Heavens Down into the Circles of Hell.'
