November 21, 2016L’arrivée de la Terne Mort Triomphante is an album of rapturously rancid and melodic madness in reverse ballet. Summoning scenes of Roman goddesses cackling in slow-motion as mortals masticate through their own flesh in the dark, growling and grunting; planets placidly watching as the earth chasms in loud cracking and bombastic brilliance; ancient shadows and barren fields drawing the damned–spears emerging from beyond the silent hills, eyes behind iron helmets, thunderstorms lighting the human theatre. Cold, grimy, damp stone hallways smelling of urine and feces; long strands of human hair stuck to the wall with dry blood. The vitality and pulse of mortality throughout the ages–in the dark, down the clammy corridors of cruelty and screeching pleads of pain. The face of Satan as he raises his chin in self-awareness before the throne, calling forth the gathering, and waving his left hand with poetic soliloquy. The awesome beauty of nature and its powerful destructive side are here painted with vicious and viscous strokes by a madman named Muarice De Jong. This concept album, fifth in the Gnaw Their Tongues line-up, allows its muse: Death, to sing and proudly with all its terrible glory.
