ADERLATING - 'Spear Of Gold And Seraphim Pt. 1' CD (ConSouling Sounds)
Starting out as an outlet for Mories (Gnaw Their Tongues / De Magia Veterum) to bring his unique dark aural vision to the live environment, together with Eric (Mowlawner), Aderlating have evolved into a solid act. Aderlating unleashes new tidal waves of darkness with "Spear of Gold & Seraphim Bone Pt. 1" (the second part is scheduled to be released later this year). Ranging from subtle ambient to noise-drenched slabs of black metal, low-end rumbling, screeching highs and driven industrial brutality, Aderlating is captivating and disenchanting at the same time. The whole atmosphere breathes a hypnotic darkness, which has a distinct ritualistic feel to it. Vile ritual hymns of pure darkness and horror. It purges all the filth, bleakness and darkness of the world, and channels it into mind numbing sonic abuse the listener just can't get enough of. Ltd x 500 copies in a mini-LP sleeve.
Live collaboration between these two Canadian musicians - Aidan Baker (Nadja) and Brandon Valdivia (Picastro) - recorded at the Lab30 Festival in Augsburg, Germany, November 14, 2008. This is a live improvisation with guitar and drums, detaching from what is the trademark sound of Aidan Baker and going in a krautrock / psych direction. Artwork by Mories (Grafika Obskura / Gnaw Their Tongues). Ltd x 323 hand-numbered copies in mini-DVD packaging. 3" CD proper (NOT CDR). ACT FAST!

De Magia Veterum is the magickal creation of Mories (Gnaw Their Tongues) which was summoned in the year of 2003.

"Migdal Bavel" is the band’s second full-length album: 37 minutes of chaotic, raw, technical, esoteric, avant-garde Black Metal. Let De Magia Veterum guide you as you navigate through Samael's seas of madness. Packaged in a custom made 6-panel deluxe A5 sleeve, with silver ink printed on black cardboard.

GNAW THEIR TONGUES - 'All The Dread Magnificence Of Perversity' CD (Crucial Blast)
Picking up where 2008's "An Epiphanic Vomiting Of Blood" left off, Gnaw Their Tongues is back with nine new tracks of fearsome blackened orchestral chaos and abstract horror that still sounds like little else out there. An even heavier bass-assault compared to the other releases, and this is easily the heaviest Gnaw Their Tongues release yet. This monstrous, noxious bottom-end roar that skulks and slithers throughout the album suggests a foul fusion of Abruptum's black chaos and Leonard Rosenman's most nightmarish film scores, piled in towering heaps of sadistic noise, warped orchestral strings, degraded samples, shrieking voices, and punishing lurching doom draped in suffocating atmosphere. This album plunges even deeper into a black pit of cinematic horror, sexual perversion and shapeless heaviosity. Hardback digifile.
GNAW THEIR TONGUES - 'An Epiphanic Vomiting Of Blood' CD (Crucial Blast)
Reissue of the extremely limited LP (Ltd x 250, Burning World Records) from this ultra heavy act. Harrowing, apocalyptic, bestial ritual music from the deepest, darkest cellars of the Netherlands. Avant black metal, agonising funeral doom and blackened experimental drone noise stab forth again and again until all the blood is spilt and total carnage is all that remains. Pure dread put to music. Recommended for disturbed folk into Abruptum, Khanate, Axis Of Perdition, Swans and Univers Zero. "The bleakness and sheer refusal to allow any light to permeate proceedings alongside the non-linear, sprawling nature of the tracks will alienate a lot of people, but for anyone looking for something truly extreme, you’ll have a hard time beating this" (Kerrang). Hardback digifile.
GNAW THEIR TONGUES - 'L'Arrivee De La Terne Mort Triomphante - Black' LP (Burning World Records)
Gnaw Their Tongues transcend genres, creating their own distinct sound. Descriptors include ambient black metal, funeral doom metal, industrial drone etc. Instrumentation relies heavily on keyboards and percussion, with the drumming looming in the distance like a hideous parade before a battle is set loose. Monk-like choirs, industrial emanations, bizarre samples, occasional shrieks and droning, abused guitars are all on display, brought together almost unwillingly to share the same stage. Lyrically, L’Arrivee de la Terne Mort Triomphante is a concept album about death (“morte”). Songs describe the white throne of death, address the song of death and praise death’s majesty and grandeur. For many listeners, "L’Arrivee de la Terne Mort Triomphante" will be little more than noise or frustratingly dull drone. However, fans of the outré of the genre, where bands such as Sunn O))) and Throbbing Gristle practice their art, will find much to uncover and savour. Under the anger and fear there is joy, sadness, selfishness, and self-discovery. All you have to do is let these find you. Ltd x 750 copies on black vinyl in a deluxe gatefold sleeve.

GNAW THEIR TONGUES - 'Per Flagellum Sanguemque, Tenebras Veneramus' CD (Crucial Blast)
Roughly translated as "with blood and whip, we worship the dark", this is the latest collection of atrocities from Gnaw Their Tongues. An eight song investigation into the rites and rituals that emerge from the copper-scented frenzy of the serial killer, the obsessive acts of death worship enacted by those that live on the edge of abyss, the limits of experience sought by black cults. The sound is, as always, immensely heavy, with fractured drums and thunderous tympani skins reverberating within a maelstrom of seething black doom, screeching classical strings, horns, piano, and some of the most vomitous vocals imaginable. However, "Per Flagellum Sanguemque..." is marked by the most frenetic percussive attack that we have heard from Gnaw Their Tongues, with volleys of chaotic drumming, fractured blasts, and maniacally complex patterns.

HALLOWED BUTCHERY - 'Funeral Rites For The Living' CD (Vendetta Records)
Though this one-man project ostensibly falls within doom's murky sphere it manages to cut through a variety of subterranean genres with a cold blade, effectively providing a cross section of all things dour and gloomy. The first thing you'll notice are the trudging atonal riffs and unearthly rasps, but closer inspection reveals wisps of industrial static, droning melancholy and vague traces of forgotten folk, suggesting that while a debt may well be owed to the likes of Burning Witch and Thergothon, the album's creator is also more than au fait with the further-flung territory mapped out by the likes of Gnaw Their Tongues, Coil and Nadja.

HYPSIPHRONE - 'And The Void Shall Pierce Their Eyes' CD (Black Plagve / Malignant Records)
Debut album from this one man project from Greece, fitting right in with labelmate Sewer Goddess in its ability to create innately evil and impure sounds, integrating elements of doom metal, black metal, and dark experimentalism into the pure industrial horror that constitutes the majority of this release. The result is nothing short of absolute and abject dread; 8 tracks spanning an hour worth of material…an auditory overload that’s completely immersive, and at times overwhelming , where heaving masses of percussive doom collide with shuddering machinery dirge, ghoulish and nightmarish ambience, torturous screams, and cinematic depravity, the sounds layered into a tangled and abstract tapestry of something completely epic and nearly majestic in its scale. Fans of Gnaw Their Tongues, Abruptum and “Necro Evangelicum” era BDN will do well to wallow in the oozing blackness and unbridled malevolence Hypsiphrone has created.
