Song debut: Gnaw - "This Horrible Chamber"

Starting out slow and ominous, Alan Dubin (best known for his work in Khanate) delivers haunted whispers that swiftly evolve into punishing screams on the claustrophobic cacophony that is “This Horrible Chamber”, the 12-minute closing track on Gnaw‘s similarly-titled new album, Horrible Chamber.

To be released October 15th via Seventh Rule, the band’s sophomore follow-up to This Face traps the listener in an iron maiden device (which is almost as painful as listening to Iron Maiden’s ’90s albums) and punishes to the record’s bitter end.

Stream “This Horrible Chamber” below, and preorder Horrible Chamber over at Seventh Rule.
