The majestic, orchestral death-terror album "L'arrivée de la Terne Mort Triomphante" is a series of five hymns to the death shroud; a celebration of dissolution. Avant black/doom/industrial band Gnaw Their Tongues (aka ;Mories also of Aderlating, Offerbeest, Cloak Of Altering, De Magia Veterum, Seirom etc).) peels back additional layers of its bombastic horror to reveal moments of euphonic beauty. This is still harrowing stuff, though.

At its heaviest, it's like funeral doom bathed in modern orchestral music, a cross between Penderecki and pitch-black doom filth, pulverizing and intensely evil. Of course, this is essential for fans of previous Gnaw Their Tongues albums, but is equally recommended to fans of both abstract blackened weirdness of bands like Emit, Abruptum, and Blue Sabbath Black Cheer, and the bleak orchestral industrial of In Slaughter Natives and Shinjuku Thief.

Comes in a deluxe gatefold tip-on gatefold mini-LP jacket.
