GNAW THEIR TONGUES: GOOD AT GNAMING SHIT
Monday, November 9th, 2009 at 12:30pm by Axl RosenbergI tried to give Gnaw Their Tongues, the one man ambient-black-industrial band from the Netherlands, a shot after a recent profile in Decibel piqued my interest; unfortunately, it’s just not for me. Gnaw Their Tongues’ noise – I’m not sure it’s “music” in the traditional sense – makes Lustmord sound like he has a tight sense of structure (and I say that as someone who likes Lustmore, albeit in limited doses). Whatever it is that people find appealing about this – I’m not getting it. Maybe I’d understand it as the soundtrack to an experimental horror movie or something, but I just can’t imagine ever sitting around and being like “Lemme throw some GTT on.”
But I do love the name Gnaw Their Tongues, and all the graphics I’ve seen associate with the band, and the title of the song “The Gnostic Ritual Consumption of Semen as Embodiment of Wounds Teared in the Soul,” the video for which was sent to us by Tom Wills. (They’ve got some other songs with awesome titles, too, like “…Pestilince Stalks Forth” and “All the Dread Magnificence of Perversity.”) I hope some of you dig it more than I do.

i liked it. but that said, i can find shit like this all over the internet for free.
I decided to give it a listen… after about two minutes, I was wondering if there was any music, so I skipped ahead several times, and there wasn’t.
My empty stomach rumbling is more musical than this crap.
so yeah, that just sounded like an ambient interlude…
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you, New-Age Core
Hmm, reminds me of an intentionally dispassionate version of Halo with some black metal touches.
A better summation would be if SUNN O)))’s Black One and any Halo album had a baby.
It’s alright, but it’s lacking something. It sits on you and just permeates. It needs to move a bit in some way, shape, or form.
Can’t believe I’m the first person to say this: ‘OM NOM NOM NOM’
:)
it’s okay
I thought one man bands were supposed to have talent.
“Maybe I’d understand it as the soundtrack to an experimental horror movie”
That’s exactly why I love GTT.
…It’s not for everyone, though.
YOuve got to be fuking joking right, i think i might “gnaw my tongue off” if i ever have to listen to that pile of horseshit ever again. ut reakky ow is this even considered music all it is is some guy sitting in his garage smashing trash can lids together every 5 secs and then messes with the audio quality, i dont even know what to say any more its just shit.
