GNAW THEIR TONGUES The Genesis of Light

Popis:

Gnaw Their Tongues – Misanthropic experimental music since 2004. Fusing black metal, industrial, noise, and experimental chaos, Gnaw Their Tongues has unleashed a relentless stream of albums and EP’s across numerous labels. Maurice De Jong has taken its vile, unsettling sound to stages around the globe, confronting audiences with music that is grotesque and abrasive. The name itself, Gnaw Their Tongues, is a metaphorical expression. It can be interpreted as a kind of defiance or a way of describing the torment of being unable to speak or express oneself due to overwhelming emotion or agony. This fits the project's overall theme of pain, suffering, and existential dread. On the last few releases, the sound shifted toward being more noisy, experimental and electronic. Lyrically and thematically, Gnaw Their Tongues explores the ugliest corners of human nature. Dwelling unflinchingly on humanity’s most depraved impulses and darkest excesses. 'The Genesis of Light' was recorded back in 2008 as a guitar drone experiment. The sessions, though promising, were left unfinished. Lost to the pull of other projects and the constraints of time. Years later, the recordings resurfaced on a forgotten backup drive. Their atmosphere still resonated deeply with Maurice. What started as a rediscovery became a transformation: most guitars were rerecorded, new textures and layers were woven in, and the original ideas were refined into something more immersive. The result is the completed vision that was once set aside. A work reborn from the shadows into light. In contrast to the dense, harrowing soundscapes and unrelenting darkness typical of Gnaw Their Tongues, 'The Genesis of Light' offers a starkly different vision. Where most releases revel in suffocating intensity and nightmarish textures, this album unfolds with space and a sense of slowburning radiance. Nevertheless, 'The Genesis of Light' remains steeped in the menacing aura that characterizes Gnaw Their Tongues.
