A new limited edition cassette from this offshoot of the famed Dutch black industrial/doom outfit Gnaw Their Tongues. Aderlating has always been an outlet for GTT mastermind Mories to explore more ambient, subdued soundscapes. The Golden Mass certainly falls in that realm with five tracks of ghostly rumblings, ominous metallic drones, distant percussion and haunted aural apparitions that swirl and uncoil like the heavy smoke that rises over a subterranean black magic ritual. The opening title track is a nightmarish fog of monstrous whispers and chiming tones, distant bells and raging undercurrents of heavy distorted noise, at times sounding like some washed-out, muffled HNW piece occurring behind a veil of electronic voice phenomena. On "Rapture", though, you start to hear the terrifying orchestral sounds that Mories is known for, as he lays evil, dissonant violin and other sinister strings over vague horn sections and more swirling black fog, some strange creaking sounds slowly coming to the forefront, developing into an intensely disturbing, industrial tinged horror-score. The sound of clanking chains and grinding machinery takes over on "Wisdom From Pain", a violent foundry hallucination filled with pounding pneumatic presses and sheet-metal chaos.

The second side begins with the guttural buzz of Tibetan throat singing over the vast rumbling apocalypse of "Song For Mahapadma", a pitch-black industrial dronescape littered with clanking machinery, massive grinding drones, deep tectonic tremors and frenetic percussion. The last track "The Traditions Of Magyar Witchery" also revolves around powerful metal reverberations and heavy machine noises, but it unleashes a choir of ghostly voices and strange electronic sounds into the din, taking the abstract industrial ambience and transforming it into a hellish urban bedlam not unlike the mortuary industrial music of T.O.M.B.

Released in an edition of one hundred copies, with on-shell printing on red tinted cassettes and full-color packaging.
