Wrath, disharmony, despair, chaos; Gnaw Their Tongues added another chapter to their gospel and the name of it shines with the darkest of colors. Per Flagellum Sanguemque, Tenebras Veneramus completed the musical heresy and visions of hell Mories De Jong had reaped and sowed through his sound during 2011. Everything in here possesses the power of rusted scissors disturbing the natural flow of blood running through your veins. A hostile environment of sickened soundscapes awaits you and if you're willing to pay the consequences of your actions then you'll definitely enjoy this loathsome creation.
I dare say it's not one of the most pleasant experiences to the common ear, but who cares anyway, after all it's not ordinary music for ordinary people. And the reason is: you should expect noisy undertones, a black metal aesthetic, a dark ambient perfume and an industrial configuration. In the end, everything appears like a collage of sounds, pictures and ambiances; a psychotic labyrinth's architecture. An apocalyptic essence overwhelms the compositions whereas the industrial background overburdens the atmosphere, hatred flows in intolerable amounts and a more sinister aspect approaches with each spoken-word passage, a clinical tranquility through abhorrent recitations. Whenever every single instrument and/or sound partake in the outcome it is almost a scornful threnody; FX, a holocaust of keys and samples, unearthly howls from the edge of a knife, hyper-pounding bass lines and unrecognizable guitars, programmed drumming and a myriad of negative emotions march without shame.
Mories De Jong weaves sound portraits of disharmony for your ears only and Per Flagellum Sanguemque, Tenebras Veneramus has to be one of the most sincere, distressing releases of 2011, a glowing stone of dismay, not stellar, but essential for your torn mind.

And yet another brilliant piece of the gigant jigsaw that is Mories' mind. This guy still remains a genius in what he does. I personally loved this album and I'm happy that he keeps pushing the envelope even if only a little. It's almost funny how so little changes can make an entirely new album if you do it right. The almost jazzy drums the never-ending progression, the classical music deep in the mix... Rarely has madness, chaos and disharminy sounded this good, not only talking about this album here... His entire discography of all his projects is a statement of that. Yes, I might sound like a fanboy, but when people listen to what this man has done, can you really blame me?
