Dutch Avant Black/Industrialist To Decimate California Deathfest This
Weekend

Holland's
traumatizing blackened industrial act, GNAW THEIR TONGUES, returns to the
US for the second time in its lifespan, primed to take part in the inaugural
California Deathfest in Oakland this weekend.
As 2015
saw the release of multiple GNAW THEIR TONGUES titles, including
collaborations with Alkerdeel, the Collected Atrocities early works 2xCD,
and the outfit's most revered title to date, the ravenous full-length, Abyss
Of Longing Throats, Mories has transformed the entity from a studio-only
project to a touring act, having performed at Roadburn Festival in Holland,
followed by its first American performances at Maryland Deathfest XIII and Apex
VI, and a performance at Amplifest in Portugal. Now, GNAW THEIR TONGUES
invades the US once again for the first installment of the California Deathfest
in Oakland this weekend, performing alongside Immolation, Nader Sadek, Bolzer,
Loss, Lycus, Goat Torment, Pseudogod, Ritual Necromancy and Worship this Sunday,
October 11th.

GNAW
THEIR TONGUES Live:
10/09-11/2015 Oakland
Metro - Oakland, CA @ California Deathfest [info]
Through
the release of nearly forty titles in less than a decade, GNAW THEIR
TONGUES' richly infamous works are created by the architect Mories, the same
man responsible for such acts as Aderlating, Cloak Of Altering, De Magia
Veterum, Seirom and others. Closing a three-year gap in full-length albums, the
band deployed its most mesmerizing opus yet in 2015 with the release of Abyss
Of Longing Throats, another hellish cacophony of mangled industrial black
metal, lurching deformed heaviness, twisted electronic carnage and bombastic
orchestral power that sounds like no one else, delivering some of the outfit's
most emotionally stirring movements yet. Decibel Magazine referred to Mories as
a, "one-man nightmare generator," issuing that, "This slab of hallucinatory
black metal is not to be played in daylight." Noisey calls Abyss Of Longing
Throats, "a harrowing blend of droning post-black metal, industrial,
classical and avant-garde noise that burrows through the skin like feasting
maggots," and Invisible Oranges declares, "With a genre-defying and
library-filling discography to his name, Mories's boundless creativity puts him
at the forefront of the still growing movement of serial creators in metal," and
Cvlt Nation spewed, "This newest chapter in Mories' nightmarish legacy is a
brilliant one indeed, fully capitalizing on everything that he has done so well
on past GNAW THEIR TONGUES releases while greatly expanding upon some of
the elements that have been deftly and subtly introduced in more recent
releases."
An
official track stream of "Through Flesh" is playing via YouTube RIGHT HERE and the
full album alongside an interrogation with Mories at Invisible Oranges at THIS
LOCATION.
