Black Tongue is a British band that plays an ultra heavy type of metal known as doom-core. Utilizing extremely low tunings, demonic vocals, and dirge-like tempos, this quartet have staked their claim as one of the brightest rising stars in the metal underground. But their ascent nearly came to a screeching halt back in February when lead singer Alex Teven fell from the band’s moving tour bus while on tour in Poland. The drunken frontman mistook the exit door for the bus’s toilet door and fell onto the roadway. His bandmates found him lying in a ditch with head and facial injuries.

Fortunately, Tevan’s injuries were not life threatening and the self-proclaimed “Hull Hate Crew” rebounded by September when they released their crushing new album, The Unconquerable Dark. This week’s Massive Metal Monday track is the opening salvo of the album and is entitled “Plague Worship.” Crank it up, but not too loud… this stuff will blow your speakers!
