Thy Tongue are a solo project form Japan that plays a very raw and melodic form of black metal and this is a review of his self released 2021 ep "Pray To Death".
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the ep before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also uses a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody and the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Whispers can also be heard briefly along with the vocals also adding a brief use of deep growls and spoken word parts on one of the tracks and synths can also be heard on the closing song
Thy Tongue plays a musical style that goes back to the raw and melodic black metal era of the mid 90's. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover dark and theological themes.
In my opinion Thy Tongue are a very great sounding raw and melodic black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Prayer 1" and "First Salvation". 8 out of 10.
