Twitching Tongues are the best kind of sore thumb. While channeling a variety of hardcore and metal influences their unique sound is esoteric and resists lazy classification, yet it is equally dynamic, powerful, and instantly gripping. Having dropped two full-lengths, toured extensively and garnered a cult following, the band's third album - and Metal Blade debut - Disharmony sees them truly come into their own. Dramatically building upon the foundations of 2013's In Love There Is No Law, the LA-based quintet pushed themselves both musically and emotionally to create something that is not only fresh and exciting but really matters. "We feel that we've finally written the record we were supposed to make. This is what we've been building up to since we started the band," states vocalist Colin Young. "We've always put everything we've got into our music, but this one is more personal. It's darker, it's more aggressive, and I'm sure it will be more polarizing too, but we're more invested in it than anything we've done before, and we couldn't be prouder of the end result."
Hard Heavy Hardcore Sound. New album.
Twitching Tongues’ blend of metal and hardcore is incredibly difficult to pin down — which is part of what makes them so awesome — but I like the way I described them in 2013, so I’m sticking with it: like a mix between “Life of Agony, Cro-Mags and Celtic Frost; the band’s overall approach is decidedly rooted in punk, but there are less-than-subtle metal overtones all over the place.” Their new song, “Disharmony,” also carries with it some Southern sludge influence in the slow, chuggy riffs and particularly in the vocals: Colin Young sounds like a mix of modern-day Phil Anselmo and Kirk Windstein rolled into one, crooning and bellowing his way through this dynamic track.
finally someone put it up. great album. new better sound
