The Genesis of Light

'The Genesis of Light' was recorded back in 2008 as a guitar drone experiment. The sessions, though promising, were left unfinished. Lost to the pull of other projects and the constraints of time. Years later, the recordings resurfaced on a forgotten backup drive. Their atmosphere still resonated deeply with Maurice. What started as a rediscovery became a transformation: most guitars were re-recorded, new textures and layers were woven in, and the original ideas were refined into something more immersive. The result is the completed vision that was once set aside. A work reborn from the shadows into light.

In contrast to the dense, harrowing soundscapes and unrelenting darkness typical of Gnaw Their Tongues, 'The Genesis of Light' offers a starkly different vision. Where most releases revel in suffocating intensity and nightmarish textures, this album unfolds with space and a sense of slow-burning radiance. Nevertheless, 'The Genesis of Light' remains steeped in the menacing aura that characterizes Gnaw Their Tongues.
