Album Notes & Community Reviews
'From Filthy Tongue of Gods and Griots' is a bleak, abrasive fusion of abstract hip-hop and industrial noise. D盲lek utilizes overwhelming walls of guitar feedback and avant-garde soundscapes to back dense, poetic, and anti-religious lyricism. It is an apocalyptic and fiercely independent record that pushes the boundaries of experimental rap.
