BLACK TONGUE - PARTING SOLILOQUY 

WE NEED MORE BLACK TONGUE

The end of this track, "please dont leave me here" is legitimately horrifying in context of the albums story. Nadir is bleak and crushing from start to finish.

"Please don't leave me here" He's essentially begging (Insert deity) to choose his fate and not to leave him in limbo, "between life and death and time". That's deep as hell. Sometimes I wonder if LIFE is limbo, and our punishment for living past lives that were self-serving and not pleasing to whatever god exists.

My favorite Black Tongue song, especially the ‘please don’t leave me here part’ really captures a Desolate and desperate emotion and atmosphere

Mix sounds really cool. Drummer is chubby af tho x

Nadir is for me one the most complete and well composed albums of all time. It could have not be better.

The way he stares at the crowd and turns around at 5:58 is so cinematic. It would've been awesome if this was the last song of the show and the entire room is dead quiet while everyone leaves in silence. Chilling.

I recently had someone I know die. I had a dream that we were camping and we were all sitting outside, a bunch of people, and as it got late people started laying down and falling asleep. I stayed up next to the fire along with a couple other people and I remember someone got up and left and as they left the fire went out and as I went up to it to blow on it to get it going again, I saw it was just ash. When I woke up I heard the news that this person had died. I listened to this song that morning on the way to work and it hit me. A light switched off.

Nadir is one of the most amazing albums I've ever heard. Please never stop

Showed this to my son. He ignored it and continued playing with Legos

One of the heaviest albums ever recorded I can hardly comprehend how they intend to top it...

New black Tongue video?! My pee pee is now a slightly less disappointing version of itself!

I hope you dudes can come back to the states soon.

This song makes me want to pick something up and put it back down because I can't afford to break it

My dad liked this video so much he's on the floor shaking with excitement!

So sad I’ll never see them live 😢

Dope as always.....!!! Best Death-black-doom-down tempo core band there is..... Music is EPIC

I showed this to my little sister, she is now my older brother.

Alex is certainly up there, within the god tiers of stage presence's.

Such raw and visual emotion is so rare in our Metal community today so this song and video has quickly become one of my favorites because of that. It's also why Black Tongue will forever have my utmost respect.

Saw Black Tongue post something new. Got super excited that it was an unannounced new song without looking at the title. Realized it was off Nadir. Still not disappointed and still hard as a rock.

1 year later and this still gives me the goose bumps

This is why they are my number one favourite band ever F*ck gives me goosebumps Vocals on a whole different level, nothing is meatier, heavier or more beautiful than their music

04:18 - That hip raises are so good for glutes..

I come back to this every once in a while, the brutality, it’s atmosphere addicting, gives me the chills every time 🤘🏼🤘🏼

I watch you from across the lake Where the waters remain forever still I watch you from across the lake Where the waters remain forever still And I collapse to the bank still green And scream hoarse with the whisper of the leaves And you were bountiful then and I asked you why Small, frail, dependent, I Should have to watch you walk from the shoreline, grey You smiled something about life and something about time Something about the winding length of mine How I'd be ready when it came to that day But I am not And every nerve recoils at the thought That the vessels still remain but are filled with naught A light switched off A stopped clock A loss A light switched off A stopped clock and a loss Death, take me home Death, take me home The cloak flaps blackly My fingers map the lines Across the writing on your monuments Of life and death and time The cloak flaps blackly My fingers map the lines Across the writing on your monuments I ponder the winding Of life and death and time And I hope to God the next passage on the waiting raft is mine Please don't leave me here between life and death and time Please don't leave me here Please don't leave me here Please don't leave me here Please don't leave me here Death, take me home Death, take me home Death, take me to the lake where the waters remain forever still

Love this 🖤 *Please don’t leave me here* We’ve all felt that

Masterpiece! The whole Nadir album!

BRUHH THERES A BREAKDOWN AFTER THE BREAKDOWN MY ASS CANT HANDLE THIS MUCH BRUTALITY

HOLY FUCKING HELL!!! This is absolutely CRUSHING!! Love the guitar sound. It's got a filthy, sludgy feel to it. LOVE IT🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

I've been thinking for over 25 years the heaviest song I've ever had the pleasure of listening to was Locust Star by Neurosis at Ozzfest 96..that song has met its ilk

Favorite song on the album by far. That outro line "Death, take me to the lake where the waters remain forever still!" gives me legit goosebumps every time. Alex is a beast. Much love boy's. 🖤

Such vivid imagery of the void.. Brings chills to me everytime. Nadir in my opinion is unlike all others claiming to be heavy, because it gives you that emotional feeling of desolation and despair.

I got pointed in the direction of these guys by an Algerian that I met on my holiday in Corfu last week. Cheers Algerian dude, good call.

"You smiled something about life and something about time Something about the winding length of mine How I'd be ready when it came to that day But I am not And every nerve recoils at the thought That the vessels still remain but are filled with nought" Man that's powerful and the instrumentals behind it bring forth the same emotion I feel that

4:30 heavest shit i heard that legitimately gives me goose bumps (“please dont leave me hear” scars me)

It’s so hard for me to listen to a singular song of theirs at once, I feel like the whole album compliments itself that way so well!

This album was easily the best of 2018, and possibly one of my favourites of all time. I can't wait to see these guys

Please don’t leave me here literally gave me chills, like holy shit, reminds me of the song Iowa by Slipknot with Corey’s screams in the background, only that and this gave me the chills, well done boys 🤘🏻

Never heard of this band. Glad I clicked on the recommendation.

This Is The Way Of Brutal Life. I Will always Love Aaron and Eddie. Salute and respect from Indonesia Guys!!!!

Slapped

My favourite song of the album!!!!

My total respect for black tongue. Without fear of showing his style, raw, bestial and somewhat theatrical. Hugs from Brazil guys.

Most innovative heavy album I’ve heard in a really long time, and it still holds up the same it did on release after almost a year 🖤

sounds depressing. feels like holding a heavy stone inside of me. It's really great, guys.

We’re waiting for new stuff from you guys, please let us know if you’re working on something.

Heavy and atmospheric. Love Nadir.

this whole album screams so much more than just downtempo, it almost sounds like blackened death metal at times, but god damn this album is beautiful from start to finish

Love this bands music.

It's just so heart warming.

A Black Tongue and Shadow of Intent Tour MUST happen

My first time listening to a black tongue song and i am impressed

this song is all about the atmosphere it creates... i feel it

So dark and crushingly heavy, production is perfect too. Delicious.

You guys have so much potential. Knowing the power of music and how you guys apply it is amazing, just aches my gut knowing this music lacks appreciation/recognition. L.L.B.T.

This is the first song I hear from these guys and.....WOW!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of my favorite albums ever, just gets better each listen, fucking masterpiece

No views, that's a first for me! Keep it coming boys, Nadir was great

Favorite song thus far

Beautiful.

I had this cranked up and that’s the sickest intro vocal I’ve ever heard.!!!!!

Yes

King of the, Breakdowns, awesome shit..

Nice Left Hand Path shirt. I love their style, very unique!

amazing

I really didn't expect to see this in my subscription feed, im not complaining though

Grossly underrated

So brilliant.

How am I so late to more BT?? God damn... Brutal and badass as always gents, never change \m/

my god, that ending is earth shattering.!!!!

Is this real? I was watching BT old videos today and thought to myself "why do they have only one video from Nadir" and now I'm watching this. Unbelievable

This is pure masterpiece!

Como esperaba una notificación de ustedes! Tremendo!

It feels very weird seeing Aaron playing that slow

Beautiful song

I want to see them live so bad. I don’t care if they come to my state, I’ll go to the next Closest show.

esto ... esto es lo mejor que escuche en toda mi vida...... increible

definitely my favourite song off the album, a perfect vessel through which to confront the evils that may be currently infecting ones' mind.

wow! awesome!

this whole album goes

Black Tongue "parting soliloquy"---every riff in that song is the heaviest. It's like the band tuned down to drop D for death.

Doesn't get any heavier and bleaker than this.💀💀

So good

Best song of the album

RIP Tara Lytle. My fiance loved Black Tongue as much i do, we discovered them together, at the same time. She was killed in a car crash , 2 miles from home,while i was in jail. 3 yrs later, it hurts the same as it did, misery hasnt ended . thank you black tongue... For your music, Brandon and Tara Turner( rip tara)

Dude this is so fucking good jesus christ

This song is a masterpiece.

pure

One of my most favorite songs off the Nadir album :o

I needed this

Chills, that's all I can say

Really cool to see a Canadian tour listed in the description! Unfortunately, I'm late to this video so I missed seeing you guys in Ottawa (I saw Rings of Saturn a month later). Please come back to Ottawa sometime!

Fuck. I can really feel the pain, and emotion on stage

Excellent work!

Now this, this does put a smile on my egg

Black Metal Tongue.

I really dig the dark guitar tones. It instantly cleans up the mix.

Now this I'd like to see live! Check that, FEEL LIVE

Your band can actually surprise with a nice experimental heavy sound, keep up the good work!
