Sent on a mission
The standard has been met
Pain and misery are awaiting
A steady advance
Through a cruel terrain
Paving the way
With a daring stand
Across the field
Proceeding in a strict formation
Retaining a steady pace
Over the top
Let another wave enter in
There's no chance of turning back
Shelled away
A field ridden with barbwire
Centered on the sanctity of war
The slaughter begins
At easy targets on open ground
Defenses have sustained the shelling
Gunned down
No option to answer back
After great plans devastation prevails
Looking at the result
No further adjustments
Not a single metre gained

The monastic intonations and ethereal, Middle Eastern guitar leads that introduce Battle Hag's debut are so auspicious that I wondered if they weren't preparing to overstep their advertised sludge/stoner boundaries. That proves not to be the case for the most part, as Tongue Of The Earth is avowedly stoner doom, but there are a few more touches of personality from time to time - and in any case there's something to be said for just doing one thing really well.

Death metal that isn't aggressive. Doom metal that isn't doomy. This is an oddly uplifting and relaxing album that is heavy but melodic, has both death growls and melodic crooning, and features gentle synths over crunchy riffs. A genre defying album for people who like metal that has space to breathe but doesn't take forever to get to the point. dharmalogos
