NADIR: The Life and Death of BLACK TONGUE

[@tengogei]

3 years later, one of the most unique and beautiful albums ever dropped

[@mr.mcthicc1073]

4 years ago now

[@collinwilliams898]

yes

[@ofthesunofficial]

Yep, still rings true in 2023

[@dig_the_sniper7969]

I'm here from 2024 to say it's still in my top 5 albums

[@usernamenotavailablee]

Watching this 5 years later and I still don't understand what happened. What does Ed mean by bad choices? Literally every single song of all of BT albums is a fucking masterpiece. The instrumentals, the vocals, the lyrics it's all perfectly, brutally beautiful and I can never get enough of it. It's been how many fucking years and I still listen to Black Tongue EVERY FUCKING DAY and it NEVER gets old. I know they are hard on themselves but seriously, your art is among the absolute peak in modern metal. I love you guys. I hope one day the legends will return.

[@jakemandere7903]

Infant Annihilator ayyyyyy infant! i love you guys so much just bought your child snatcher sweatshirt like a week ago and I love it! I'm really looking forward to this new BT album it will be brutal as always! thanks so much for your hard work it really shows! cheers, Jake.

[@kacpergarbiec4174]

Infant Annihilator You guys are amazing, do you have any plans for any new material???? Also my birthday is next month and im just gonna buy a ton of your merch, especially that child snatcher hoodie.

[@jakemandere7903]

[@vik8023]

Nadir is the single greatest metal album i have ever heard, i have listened to it on repeat for about 2 years now, keep it up man.

[@danlotz7523]

Your music makes people feel the greatest inner adrenaline rush... Smash out another one... One that you guys are proud of... Heaviest the world has ever seen.. I believe in this band.. The sound.. The feeling & drive of every chord & beat.. I am one person.. 1000% behind this music.. Thank you !!!!

[@dannyboym374]

Dan The Man spot on dude couldnt agree more seen these guys live. Was siiiiiick as fuuuuck..

[@mfxoccult666bloodyblunts9]

Absolutely stunning. The doom and black metal influence will make this album monumental. The riffs kill me.

[@ThomasFoucharel]

you're fucking right

[@robertbucknam5768]

it might as well be black metal

[@redbruhcolli]

Nadir is hands down best metal album in ages!

[@xspartan346x]

@@infinitedeath4567 this is a bit more than doom, especially older material.

[@infinitedeath4567]

Regnar Bensin I’m aware. It’s doom and black metal influenced deathcore.

[@ryan-cochran]

I fucking loved Nadir and it is one of the few albums that I can say is perfect. I really hope y'all come back sometime in the next couple years.

[@helterskelter7958]

your music is so original, I can't find any other band that makes the sound you do and it's fucking perfect, don't change for anyone

[@marcus.cramus]

Errrr Meshuggah, celtic Frost, i think you can start from them. But Black Tongues Nadir have its special spirit. "Its a strange thing timelessness..."

[@nickkohlmann]

@@marcus.cramus They covered my favourite celtic frost song and made it even heavier.

[@iDoqz]

@@marcus.cramus meshuggah sounds nothing like black tongue in my opinion

[@MegaLaban12345]

I discovered Nadir yesterday, and I'm absolutely loving it. It sucks to hear that the fun and love for music almost got stripped from you. I wish you nothing but the best, friends. Do it your way, we'll wait if it's necessary.

[@Dugrath]

Come back guys! We miss you!

[@OutOfMana777]

This popped back into my recommended after nearly 6 years (where tf has the time gone?), and goddamn this album still hits just as hard as it did back then. The term “masterpiece” gets massively overused in music discussion spaces, but to this day I believe Nadir is a legitimate masterpiece. I’ve been praying for a BT return every year since the pandemic

[@shounenda4291]

i've missed you guys, love to see you are coming back :)

[@Skeletal33]

Franco Promanigo I wondered why they didn’t post any updates for over a year

[@VicariousVoid]

The thing I love about this band, is that I can be at work, completely fucking exhausted, no energy left, already burned through my second and third waves of energy and about to pass out; then plague worship or something comes on and I'm just so fucking pumped and I get the equivalent of 5 new bursts of energy at once.

[@masterjohnward2664]

Yeah dude

[@steffomca762]

I hope they won't break up, i need more albums from these guys

[@Kill3r12341]

Black Tongue has got to be one of the hardest bands out right now. So much passion and strength in the music it’s beautiful

[@SpookyBoogie26]

Lowest possible point? So I'm assuming you'll be tuned to Drop Q then? ;D

[@stephensalcedo6861]

Yyy

[@kevinrussell4328]

When people say that Infant Annihilator is more brutal than Black Tongue. Like what? Infant Annihilator is just more technical, Black Tongue is low and slow. They're both heavy, learn the difference please.

[@the.archang3l]

Kevin Russell you ever hear behold the kingdom of the wretched undying?😍

[@ExtremeVocalsAreMyHeroin]

Dru 101 Amen. That song is the most brutal shit I have ever heard.

[@Doomscrollin]

I agree that infant is filthier in a technical aspect and also with Dickie's vocals being far more demonic but it doesn't have that heavy bass feel you know? still brutal as fuck though no doubt... i blast that shit every day

[@korncows1]

IA has content more brutal. Doesnt get more brutal than ai. Brutality doesn't mean skill or enjoyability.

[@MOOSE-qw4mx]

I agree with you. People try to compare bands all the time that are not even in the same genre. Both Black Tongue and IA are brutal, case in point. One's faster than the other, one has more damning lyrics...who cares? They are both amazing. Instead of comparing bands and trying to have the bigger dick with ones ideology of metal why don't we just support the bands for being who they are, what they are and how they sound. Support metal, because no one outside of us (fans) will support them.

[@andreasjunga5642]

FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!! So glad you're gonna be back! Can't wait for it! Greetings and massive support from Switzerland

[@MrMrTierry]

Great to hear you‘re coming back! And seems like you have a fanbase here in Switzerland

[@alexanderschildknecht2090]

So excited, bring it on! Hoping for tour dates in switzerland for the release party.

[@griffinbronkhorst9490]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys are BY FAR my favourite band!!!!!!!!

[@ChrisS310]

You guys are the most brutal band out there. Can't wait to hear the new stuff.

For the mean time Bound in Fear is even more brutal!

[@nightlessexplosive3641]

Sheriff those guys are going to write a page in the death metal book in future with infant annihilator.

[@Consumed]

lmao BT is heavy but its just downtempo. Wanna hear heavy check out shit like Katalepsy.

[@ChrisS310]

[@jennygriesbaum068]

I fucking LOVE Nadir! I'm a 44 yr old white haired lady and I feel 14 again when I listen to yall!

[@tier786]

I personally just love that no matter what negative came about, from your past - you guys took the time to explain the process to your true fans. What's even more admirable is that you came through all the negative and took it as a learning experience to make even better results in the end. You scream sincerity not only in lyrics - but in your music as a whole. You stick around for the right reasons and when you have the right reasons you will conquer the lovers along with the criticizers. They will learn from you whether they take the time to grow to apprietiate it or not. In the end nothing of that sort matters unless its paired with the individual passion that you bring to the result. That defeats all doubts. Xo

[@tfwnoyandere]

well said cutie

[@one23beanz]

It’s been 84 years... can’t rush perfection

[@understuf]

[@jbarile5]

Very glad you as a band and as individuals took the step back to remember why you started and how you truly want to proceed as a band before the business end of things burnt you out completely. Looking forward to another hellspawned LP, guys!

[@hrupert]

Cannot wait! When is it coming out??

[@ScOutRaMpAgE1]

So good to see you back :) looking forward to the new riffs.

[@tfwnoyandere]

pfp checks out

[@GreatBeardofWisdom]

This all makes perfect sense. What you guys were all talking about, I could sense that in the The Unconquerable Dark, it just didn’t feel like it all fit together as good as it should have. Sometimes in life, it’s best to just put your hands up and realise you made some bad decisions, but take those in your stride and come out stronger than ever. It sounds like you fellas have come through to the other side, you’ve got new material, and I’m very much looking forward to hearing it. Although TUD felt like a bit of a disappointment for me, I’m a major St. Anger apologist (fuck the haters, it’s quality) so if there’s room in my heart for that album, I’m more than happy to extend you some support. I hope whatever shit you guys had to go through is all sorted, and just you let me know how I can give you my money when the time comes, because it’s as good as yours.

[@pianoman4035]

[@alexandrefamiliari4073]

I know I'm a bit late, but guys this album was such an enjoyable piece of art! I found myself smiling during the whole listening session because I was telling to myself : these guys got it RIGHT. I know there is no good or bad taste, just opinions, but for this album, I think one cannot deny the melting pot of different metal genres that it is. This is the force of the album, not getting stuck in a narrow state of mind. Some times you were heavy as f*** and I was feeling "oh, maybe a bit a relief, something more grooving... please?" And then, boom! Groovy riff. The right timing, the right feeling, don't be stuck in pure senseless heaviness, that's what I was asking, and you exceeded my expectation. You guys understood that heaviness is not just about getting low tuned and blast beat everywhere, a riff can be heavy in contraste to another more groovy, a song can be heavy because of its atmosphere and so forth... I feel like you wanted to go in that direction (maybe I'm wrong...?) and I'm the end you got both sides of heaviness right... Bravo! Thank you guys, it's a huge step for extreme metal.

[@HVNTERTN]
