i talked about Gnaw Their Tongues in a previous post and my opinion of the band is no different. the music is dark, massive and suffocatingly oppressive. great tracks.

Sick to the Back Teeth is another prolific one-man project. this record is on the drone/doom side of things but i've read that he dabbles in a lot of different genres. this is definitely a band i'm going to check out more of.

i've been listening to Gnaw their Tongues for a few years now and i still don't really know how to classify them. i guess "him" would be more appropriate since this is a 1 man project from the Netherlands. maybe experimental orchestral blackened noise doom? whatever you want to call it, the fact remains that  the music is DARK,  massive yet suffocating and it has an almost cinematic flair to it. occasionally quite beautiful in it's darkness, it's also incredibly atmospheric and i'm always amazed that just one dude is composing these huge sounding tracks.
unfortunately there isn't a lyric sheet but looking at the song titles and album artwork (which is also done by Mories) i'd guess they're pretty fucked up. 
highly recommended.
