Hreilia

Denmark's TONGUES debuted in 2014 under the flag of I, Voidhanger Records with "Thelsis Ignis", a portentous 35-minute long EP which earned them the sincere praises of those who passionately follow the underground metal scene and its incessant evolution. Apparently swallowed by the shadows right after that promising release, TONGUES have simply kept a low profile and concentrated for 3 years on the second chapter of their doomed spiritual journey. A journey that now spawns "Hreilia", a new and exciting example of TONGUES' audacious synthesis of black, death and doom metal, propelled by fiery riffs, magnetic melodies and mystical atmospheres. Enshrouded in an esoteric dark aura and graced by an apocalyptic cover painting by vocalist A. Lovmand, "Hreilia" delves even deeper into the realms of subconscious. "The underlying concept of thealbum was inspired by a dream; that's where the word Hreilia comes from," confirms drummer and lyricist C. Qvortrup. "That word held a significant spiritual value within the context of that dream. It symbolised a profound spiritual disappointment. a nightmare." TONGUES' pessimistic approach to the new album is quite evident even during its most aggressive moments, when the inner fire that characterized the previous EP bursts out nervously from the articulated structures of "Grove Of Mithridate" and "Theophagous Wounds Of Earth", two examples of the band's trademark style hanging inthe balance between utmost aggression and psychedelic meditation. As the album progresses, the melodies become slowly - yet steadily - more depressive and defeated, till when TONGUES' ferocious inner struggle concludes and gives way to sadness and disillusionment.
