Gnaw Their Tongues – The Cessation Of Suffering (Black)

Black vinyl version. Gnaw Their Tongues has been creating humanity-hating experimental music since 2004. But one creative guise of insanely prolific madman Maurice, Gnaw Their Tongues has become the man’s most renown vehicle of expressing, spanning a nightmarishly vast swathe of styles as well as releases; even more uniquely, Maurice has expanded this vehicle beyond the studio and has played live shows across the world. Although he “just” has 9 full-lengths under the moniker, Gnaw Their Tongues has nearly three times as many shorter-length releases in its discography – and it shows no sign or slowing down nor comprising with its latest album, The Cessation of Suffering. Thematically, Gnaw Their Tongues has always dealt with the darkest sides on human behavior and humanities darkest excesses; this uneasy / vile / grotesque / hate-filled sound is an expression rather than glorification. The Cessation of Suffering follows a break of three years, and suitably manifests as Gnaw Their Tongues bleakest album ever. There’s truly only one Gnaw Their Tongues, and The Cessation of Suffering punctuates the fact like an enormous door slamming in the depths of Hell.
