lyrics

The Book of Lies

Daggers held aloft
Above the heart of earth underneath
Thought is disease
Depraved and debauched
To beget is to die
The broken manifests light
Cast the seed into the field of night

Nature is Cruel
Existence is Eternal Warfare

The swollen mask mutters an Atheist’s prayers
Sleep with faith and wake a corpse
Slaves of reason
Blind under the dominion of reason
In the coffin of our hopes
Death still lurks
Sealed in the tomb of the slain

Nature is Cruel
Existence is Eternal Warfare

To Each His Own:

I do not like your Dark Church!
I prefer the bright shining sun!
And my own women are a thousand times more dear to me
Than your painted Madonna.

And the son that my wife has given me
Is a thousand times more dear to me
Than your gilded crucifix,
With contorted arms and legs.

Overall, I do not like what is alien to this world
What is cold, wilted and lifeless.
I love life, and joy and light
And the blood, surging and red.

There's something charming about bands that don't give a shit what you like and just do their own thing. Is it death metal? Grind? Tech hardcore? Who the fuck knows? It's fun though. Ghuughra

Eschatological Scatology (2009)
by GNAW THEIR TONGUES

supported by 5 fans who also own “The Book of Lies”

On peut partager la discographie de Gnaw Their Tongues en principalement deux genres : le noise black symphonique désespéré et le noise black metal pur et dur destiné à agresser le mental. Eschatological Scatology se situe dans le deuxième camp : c'est déjà un choc visuel avec la pochette et, si quelques "orchestrations" subsistent ("Deepwood Bodytrap", "Master I Am Done"), c'est surtout un choc musical extrême passant parfois dans le doom metal ("The Atrocious Angel of Scatology"). Saisissant ! Jordan Vauvert
