The lyrics tell the story of someone commiting suicide and going through purgatory and then hell like Dante, except they actually experience the torment and pain. To only be denied rest and sleep by God due to his sin.
I also now realize that is "God" speaking at 42:06 but really think about how earth shattering terrifying those lines are to someone who is depressed enough to take their own life hoping for God to take them in for peace, only for God to throw you back down to hell to suffer even a far worse fate. Because to God suicide is a huge betrayal, so he hates you for throwing away the gift of life.
Really cool idea imo
it has been 400 years, please release a new album
Props to NASA for finally releasing the audio of gravitational waves caused by a collapsing neutron star.

FUUUUUUCK YESSSSSS
Its the audio samole of the black hole photo!
@@unknownartist0101 This band made me realize is stupid to be afraid metal i imagined what would the lyrics realistically be it is nerdism at it's finest religious people need to chill with the accusations.
@@disinfect1 True message, poor conveyance.
00:00 Breakdown start, 39:54 breakdown end.
This is so heavy and perfect that it actually blasted the depression and anxiety out of my brain for the first time all day I have a clear head and don't feel miserable. Good shit.
I'm just super happy to hear that you found something to help man. We all have a solution out there someways, just dont wreck your ears !
lucky you
That's what music is about. Well done.
Your comment made me smile, keep up the fight brother, we're all in this together
Exactly man, you can tell when something is real af and exceptionally written. I'm a new fan! It draws the negativity out and recycles it into productivity! I listen to this stuff at work.
That intro riff is literal filth
lmoa what the fuck does this mean?????
Bob Landon 😂😂😂😂
@@Anon-zp9oc it pretty much means that the intro riff is literal filth (brutal)
@@boedacious we're here for the 0-0-0- chugga
Guitars tuned to H flat for that one 😂
this band is the ultimate example of how darkness, evil, weight, malice is trully portrayed in a artistic form
😂
I have yet to hear an intro song done by literally any other band on the planet thats heavier than what these guys have done. Holy shit.
Freaking ads… “Death, take me home!” .. THE ALL NEW NISSAN PATHFINDER
Skip to the end then replay, no ads when you replay it :)
hahahahahahaha
that...that...intro drop...my face has never frowned so hard in my life. My bottom lip hurts. MY GODS.
For me I know it's stupidly, amazingly heavy when I start cackling like a madman. It happened at that intro drop.
@@paulolson9696 I almost started crying/laughing (not sure which) at "and I weep"
In an industry where labels reign and overproduction is often more common than not, this self-realease is the living proof that attitude, grit and actual great songwriting goes a far lot longer! I'm actually amazed by this outstanding album. Drums are huge, guitars are amazingly gnarly and the vocals are demonic and cathartic!
Overproduction can sound good, and also be extremely boring. This here sound gnarly in a good way. It's still quite 'clean' and well-produced, but it doesn't sound like it's filled to the absolute brim of every available frequency, which is a breath of fresh air.
@@KindOldRavenI think it’s cool that it has a guitar tone without much high end because it fits the black metal influence you can hear in the album. But the drums are produced to hit hard, giving the mix more power than black metal imo. It’s wonderful
I have never heard so many riffs in a "downtempo" band. This is a pure masterpiece
They've moved beyond downtempto to become Doomcore. Its like doom metal fused with deathcore instead of just slower deathcore.
@@alexandersimmons3350 And if that isn't the best musical progression in a band since Job for a Cowboy's evolution, then I don't know what is.
nigga, this shit is beyond downtempo
REX kinda out did this album lol, and its older without any symphonics. just imo
@@XShmoke Rex is so underrated
That Celtic Frost cover is soo epic. That song is soooooo underrated in terms of metal in general. Great stuff
I fully agree. Monotheist as a whole is such an overlooked metal masterpiece. Black Tongue's sound is evidence that they are indeed Celtic Frost devotees, and their cover does the song justice in their own unforgiving and brutal way.
It’s really tough to be overwhelmed by music in today’s world like before, music had became boring and repetitive.
But BLACK TOUNGE has really taken that factor to heart.
I totally agree
It's good
tounge
42:01-42:30. i just imagine hearing this entire piece when christ damns you and you are falling seeing the pit of hell open up.
41:12 Literally the end of the world transformed into a breakdown! That is the most insane thing I've ever heard!
_holy fucking shit_
Why is this album so extremely underrated online
Contrapasso's main riff is the first 4 notes of the Latin chant dies irae, which literally translates to "day of wrath", rather fitting if you ask me.
“There is no greater hell then isolation” is the most haunting thing I have heard. This album freaked me out in the best possible way.
It's "than," buddy.
there is a glorious priceless peace in isolation
@@bradg23 unless it's isolation as in a conscience trapped in a body broken beyond physical self-sufficience/ability. that's true hell
Unless you abolish the ego.
I've listened to this album in it's entirely probably 15 times in the past 2 days. I am obsessed. I have never felt anything like this from music. I've found the pinnacle of metal.
I hear ya I've listened to it 5 times today at work they definitely have a one of a kind sound like no other brother
44 minutes just passes smoothly no?
What's awsome is years later, I still resort to this as my go to, heaviest, bestest, albumn ever.
exactly how I feel
This album is a paradigm shift in metal. It isn't just a good album or a genre-defining album or even a sub-genre-creating, album; it's literally a paradigm shift. There are few other works which I could say the same for in all modern music, and really none that I could say it so easily and with 100% certainty.
Dafuq ? . . . that tuning is even lower than my IQ !
its actually drop D, an octave down.. pure filth
that shits just gonna give yoyu prostate cancer which is the exact oppisite of men's health
Hall oz, fuck yes!🤣🤣🤣👊
Thats drop downsyndrome, dribblecore.
@@peterbagosi3862 double drop D u mean
These are some of the best lyrics I think Ive ever heard. Fucking insane writing skills here
This shit is so heavy that it literally almost exploded my tv speakers and i headbanged so hard that i actually hit my head on a table
This is one of those albums that influence generations of bands to come. A godlike masterpiece like this will never be re-created
For the Doom adjacent genres, this is just Tuesday.
@@VaughanRoderick Examples?
@@dylanhalvorsen I'm more trying to point out that this level of influential albums drop every other week because of the lenient structuring of the Doom Metal genre.
This album was promptly forgotten when Archspire dropped Bleed The Future as the genre is incredibly restrictive and if something is done even slightly better the monotony dictates that only one will really be remembered. For example it's the reason why for casual metal enjoyers, the only djent song of relevance is Bleed
On the other hand Sleep's Dopesmoker an actual generation and genre defining piece. Doom is filled with these and not just albums, sometimes a bands sound is so unique that it causes new genres to be formed.
Conan, Yob, Melvins, Inter Arma, Sunn O))))) among many have such unique and distinct approaches to a genre that's labeled "pure Sabbath worship" and made fun of for all bands sounding exactly alike where in reality they broaden the metal music scene the most.
Here's 100 albums that define the Doom Metal landscape imgur.com/gallery/iRcXLqh
This is the most unique deathcore record I've ever heard
Not surprising considering it's not deathcore
@@ycleptubi8935 it's downtempo/beat down deathcore. I think that constitutes as deathcore
Doomcore!?
not deathcore. it's so much more fortunately. doom/sludge/death/black metal with a little metalcore. no deathcore though. so glad these guys are so diverse, it fucking works.
@@philb7431 There is absolutely Deathcore in this mix.
Blackened Tongue
Audible laugh
Блэкенэд апокалипсис мэтал
The production on this is outstanding
agree the mixdown is super wide and symphonic. lots of midrange in the guitars. vocals mixed excellently. good shit.
@@ccchase420 exactly, loving it
That tone on the guitar and bass sounds amazing too. So thick and clear
So glad to finally see a deathcore band with focused songwriting and a unique atmosphere. This is quite refreshing, way classier than I anticipated
if you like Deathcore with good songwriting and atmosphere You should check out "Slice the cake- Odyssey to the west (album)"
@@billybobthekidiswack add aegaeon's age album to that lisr
You want focused songwriting? Check out Shadow of Intent's 'Reclaimer', it's a faster style than this but beautifully composed.
@@WINTERTWINK Hell, he should check everything released by that band, they truely are the masters of their craft.
@@WINTERTWINK Fit For an Autopsy also got a dope songwriting. Specially the Absolute Hope Absolute Hell album.
Man I´m so pissed I didnt find this earlier. Slow and heavy is the best heavy. Amazing album.
This is like the perfect metal album.
Very much like
Can you point to the perfect one please.
Darth Vader flesh coffin
Flesh Coffin is great, Nadir is the pinical beyond greatness
If y'all want to follow the story of this album, it goes as such:
Ultima Necat (Prelude of sorts)
The Eternal Return to Ruin
Black Fawn Temple
Contrapasso
Abuse Ritual
Parting Soliloquy
The Cathedral
Second Death
Crippled Before The Dwelling Place Of God
(the Celtic Frost cover fits thematically somewhere in the last four songs. Just don't know exactly where.)
l
Pretty sure it's at the end since I'm assuming that's God giving them final judgement at 42:06
@@lordfatcock What's at the end?
Black Tongue is officially it's own genre:
Apocalypse Metal
Azoth it was since The Unconquerable Dark
Anaal Nathrakh already claimed that.
@@imurderragdolls yes , but it's hereby revoked and given to black tongue 😂 because they drag it so goooood and Teyen is actually one of the horsemen of the apocalypse , him plus CJ McMahon plus Jens Kidman plus that dude from Traitors I don't remember his name at the moment .
I like to call it Funeral Beatdown
Wow! What an epic beginning. The Gate is OPEN! I am speechless in describing how every note, and every word completely mesmerized me. This piece of art has substance and size.
I’m honoured and humbled.
When he said: "I want you all to suffer"
I felt that.
ade some big discoveries in this, will upload a video about it sometime in the future <3
Sometimes we do big things on stream, other times I yell at my wifi for crashing
Since this album keeps an entire background of past frustration and discontent, yes. They might want us all to suffer. Just in case.
Same
@@depthsofabjection what?
@@depthsofabjection to a year later and we still don't know wtf you're on about
This is some of the most refined, well written, superbly composed Deathcore i have ever heard. It is ominous, devastating and idiosyncratic. Dark, suffocating and mammoth. Most impressed.
Black Tounge is literally the best thing I think I've heard in a year.
lextech47 Same here. Very little new metal music impresses me these days. These lads impress me loads. One of the heaviest bands I’ve heard in years.
Man im 42 years old and ive been listening to metal religiously since 1986 when i won Master of Puppets on cassette tape throwing darts at balloons. This Nadir album is the best album ive ever heard. Ive never heard anything like this album before. Their older shit isnt close to this. Idk if it could ever be topped. Lol. Funny how the apex of all albums is called nadir.
The irony is that the apex of all metal albums is called Nadir.
lextech47 this is stupid downtuned garbage. Sounds like shit.
@@DaPoopIsInDaPudding dude what do u care if someone else likes it? I guess we should all listen to what u think is cool then?
I always come back to this fuckin' album.
Bro, that jumpscare during Black Fawn Temple!!! My heart stopped for a bit there.
I went from clowncore music to this. Love it
12:20 the vocalist really is channeling some serious Joe Duplantier vibes in this track. Glad I stumbled on this album.
I didn’t know deathcore could be as atmospheric as this. Pretty good stuff
Yeah when it stops being deathcore... they have the oldschool cool
@@mannixneff9108 They already admitted they are a Downtempo Deathcore band when they started, Nadir is the most different record by them, they started using more Black/Doom(or Sludge) elements
Check out Lorna shore.
Listen to Slice the Cake - Odyssey to the West
Very blackened indeed.
Your profile pic sums this album up nicely
@Sadtreesong Same, hook us up
The 57 people that disliked are people with white tongues

Lmao
I think this is the heaviest album I have ever heard. And I’ve been looking
Try Anaal Nathrakh. Maybe the album Hell Is Empty, or Whole Of The Law.
@@Tuleinaarii the codex necro is the most insane album of all time
@@aggelosmanolis5689 It's a really good one, absolutely. One of their top releases.
bodysnatcher - abandonment
You should try Wormphlegm
very unique guitar tone, sounds fucking plutonium heavy. love it
No other album has given me this feeling. The atmosphere is also just something else, I have no words
There is only one album that comes close for me in terms of mood, LLNN's "Unmaker", but in the end Nadir still deserves the crown
how the fuck does something like this relax me? It really helps me, all my frustration leaves and calm and focus takes over

Legend!!!!
You sir, are the shit
I love this album so fucking much.. thankyouu.
Or just copy paste
Love this. It's like Celtic Frost and Behemoth had a lovechild.
lol so true
Agreed
Then they killed that child brutally and had it brought back in a Lovecraft-ian ritual and abused it constantly until it grew into a hulking giant who destroyed its creators and roamed the lands at night killing the lone travelers it meets it the most horrible of ways.
Black tongue have evolved into a unique version of Death Doom, just how we like it.
Years later, always, it calls for me. This entire album, is a work of perfection.
Void-Core
Larris The Black Swan tbh it should be named either that or apocalypse metal
Godfathers of Earthquake Metal
Gonna be honest, I never took Black Tongue seriously before. I always dismissed them as a joke band that embraced nothing but slow breakdowns. But this is an improvement on ALL levels. Im hearing elements of black, doom, stoner, and old school death metal on this new album. It's an old school sound combined with god-tier production and breakdowns. I am extremely impressed with this evolution, kudos to you guys. Buying the vinyl ASAP!
You should re-listen older albums. If you like Nadir you will like Unconquerable Dark as well, it is no joke, trust me. Riffs are heavy, atmosphere is dark and lyrics are sick.
@@TadyZaZ I've listened to all their material before just to check em out but none of it stuck with me, it just seemed very effortless and bland. Unconquerable Dark was an improvement but it just sounded like more of the same just with better production and a darker element. This is a vast improvement on all fronts though, glad to see these guys delivering something a lot more mature and well put together.
they are like Neo-doom metal. Some take them as a joke, but anyway you look at them they are pretty good.
Same heard about them from others but didn't take it serious, glad I got curious because I'm never going back. Fucking brutal symphony!!!
Go to Infant Annihilator for the joke band. Got the same drummer and guitarist.
This album is without a doubt album of the year. Contrapasso breaks the known boundaries of heaviness. Unmatched lyrics and pronunciation
damn and here i am 4 years late to this master piece, this need to have like a million views
Here I am, 4 years later, and it still reigns supream.
This literally is the heaviest album I own. Holy fucking shit.
well howdy rowdy, the infant annihilator boys done gone and did the most significant christian metal album of all time
My balls
Austin Ivance are black tongue Christian?
@@Daman-Eckhardt nope, definitely not.
@@Daman-Eckhardt I suspect that young rascal Mr. Ivance might be yanking our collective chains. 😆
@@Daman-Eckhardt yeah obviously
Loving the black, doom and old school death feels on this!
same. It's long overdue for a band to infuse deathcore with oldschool death doom and black metal like this, especially doom which no one besides them has really fucked with much yet- downtempo bands that just play regular deathcore slower don't count.
@@alexandersimmons3350 The track Contrapasso is half metal half deathcore, its really weird and unique. Ive never heard a band literally do both. They dont really do that on the rest of the album though. Pretty much deathcore the rest of the way with the metal influences sprinkled throughout.
@@runaklem4428 I don't hear the deathcore in that track at all, unless you want to count that low tuning as uniquely deathcore (it isn't). Can you help me understand what you meant?
@@alecbernal3824 idk what I thought??? The track is straightforward sludgy stuff with some of that black metal like progression. The track right after it is downtempo deathcore tho. So I dont know. I dont listen to this kind of music anymore.
@@runaklem4428 Ahh, for sure! That track in particular reminds me of something Behemoth would write in the early 2000s (Demigod era), just much, much slower and heavier and with more vocal techniques. I love the progress heavy music, in general, is making through the maturation of deathcore!
I can’t believe this album is a year old already
holy shit same
2 years old
4 years 🥲
Id love to see the pit kick off when he says "Follow me down" and that riff kicks in...seeing bodies drop and pulverised into sludge!
I cant express how much i love this album. It makes my hair stand when i listen to it and ove been listening to it pretty much every day on my way to and from work. Their new style is amazing and i feel as if this is legendary work and will be remembered for a really long time eventually turning into a classic
Well thanks for the comment. I will listen tonthe album 3 times. If it doesnt grow on me by then ...its not for me. But usuallu thats when I start tonappreciate the stuff my ears arnt a custom to
Agreed, the style is very dark and distinctive.
Its up to us,the fans, to make it a classic. Spread the word let the voice be heard!
Love the guitar tone. Reminds me of Morbid Angel - Domination guitar tone. Great album.
Yaaap. But it's actually Commandoss style. He is so ahead his time.
That and kinda reminds me of hasta la muerte era xibalba only deeper
It's like Domination was murdered and brought back in some sick Necromancy ritual and then torture by demons while existing between worlds.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite albums of all time. It’s eerie, brutal, melodic in some senses, horrific, and lyrically, it is masterful. I absolutely love this album.
Their instruments sound like bridge suspension cables holy shit
Thats sth I never thought I'd read for instruments! Props to you mate!
16:50 hearing this bowel-emptying riff coming in made me headbutt my own face.
This would go well with the apocalypse
Just one track and I'm sold. Yeah, this is how it's done, excellent work, gentlemen.
Alex, Eddie, James, Lloyd, Aaron... where are you? Where's the next Black Tongue album? You went and made the heaviest album of all time and then left us hanging (as heavy as eternity).
the heaviest album EVER
musically, Black Fawn Temple is a gentle dark masterpiece
Hearing this and Infant Anihilator new music makes me realize how musically talented these guys are.
The Gore of Gibberally is nicely ensconced in the minds, fester away!!!
When l want my neighbours to listen my music ....l go out
It's like trying to run through chest-deep treacle whilst some primal madman chases you with a circular saw. Lovin' it.
This album is straight flawless
Eternal return to ruin will forever be one of my absolute favorite songs and this album as a whole is astounding
God damn that Dying God cover is so fucking good.
I cant believe i never heard of them unil now. Letting this play through. Slams.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!! That Celtic Frost cover though. God damn chills.
15:54 "...The snare, Lars's curse..." haha good songs as always!
And it follows forever :)
Black Tongue, Humanity's Last Breath, Vildhjarta, Meshuggah, and Primitive Man just bands that are just an ungodly amount of heavy.
Nightmare blunt rotation
Messhuggah is boring
I would recommend Wormphlegm
I recommend Author and Punisher, Industrial Doom that's absolutely crushing
You guys are probably my favorite band of all time. PLEASE I beg of you to make MORE music! 🔥
Can I buy this in a spring-scented body wash? I'm trying to bathe in this album.

These guys make the acacia strain sound like fucking Jimmy buffet
This album makes my soul WEEP with happiness.... fuck yes!!!
This album makes Tony Iommi wake up sweaty in the night...
FriarTuck102 doubtful
Lol what the fuck does this even mean? Tony is essentially a blues-rock guitarist, comparing him to death metal is kind of unfair
@@GravelordNEETo I think he means Iommy would love this kind of "doomey" riffs.
Idiot!
Hahahaha that cracked me up 😂spot on!
I was thinking for a long time what does the coverart represents, now I got an idea. In Dante's Divine Comedy, those who commit suicide turned to trees in hell. And since the albums lyrics is about someone who hanged himself, this tree like thing on the cover makes sence.
Correct me if I'm wrong!
One of my all time favorite albums. The album is poetic. I recently re-read Dante's Inferno. The album takes the listener on a journey just like the novel Dante's Inferno takes the reader on a quest. Love as always - Mike

Yessss thank you for the lyrics. Karaoke at Grandma's house will be lit this year. 🤘💀🤘
Not only is the album musically spectacular. But the lyrics...the narrative...all of it is GOLDEN. The story itself at face value is akin to Dante's Inferno of a sort, but with all it's double meanings that can be inferred, even if they themselves didn't mean for them, of the Lord of Spirits as well in Enochian texts with the realms of Heaven and Hell and the violence of Heaven..WOW. Black Tongue, you have outdone yourselves here.
ive been burnt out from music for a long time. got introduced to black tongue, and i gotta say this is hitting like it used to
very nice stuff
Pure lyrical and technical mastery. Forever a stellar album.
2 years later and I still am blasting this shit almost daily
That's funny, I swear there used to be so many different things in the universe, what a dream. Now I know there is only BLACK TONGUE 🤘
🥂 Long live to black tongue!
Holy.... I usually hate slow chugging metal. But THIS... THIS is something new. Vinyl worthy!
