Today, after many years of toil and wicked refinement, DRAGGED INTO SUNLIGHT and Gnaw Their Tongues unveil the first track from their nihilistic collaborative triumph, "N.V." Produced by Justin Broadrick (Godflesh, Jesu), the five-song, 32-minute effort will see release through Prosthetic Records on Nov. 13.
As the opener to this most bleak of records, the song "Visceral Repulsion" serves well in warning listeners of the evil contents that can be found elsewhere on the album, with a hostile grinding introduction strewn with joyless samples and morbid shrieks that detonate into an industrialized and highly methodical dissection of extreme metal.

DRAGGED INTO SUNLIGHT first encountered Mories from Gnaw Their Tongues (also of De Magia Veterum, Cloak of Altering and others) in 2010. Discussions of a collaboration began later that year, with both parties eager to see if it would be possible to make a record equally weighted in contributions despite their geographical distance. During the following years, ideas were bounced across the Channel repeatedly and rigorously until they formed a cohesive formula, one that took heavy inspiration from the intact legacy of Godflesh’s "Streetcleaner," pushing the collective sound in to a dark industrial space that both bands’ previous material had only touched upon. Progress was made incrementally, with long periods of contemplation interspersed with rapid bursts of productivity, and eventually amassing a wealth of embryonic material totalling over three hours.

Whittled down to a claustrophobic half-hour, the DRAGGED INTO SUNLIGHT/Gnaw Their Tongues collaboration was reaching its final stages, and to complete the circle of influence, Godflesh’s Justin Broadrick was invited to produce the record along with Tom Dring (who has worked on many crucial underground UK releases including Corrupt Moral Altar and the previous works of DRAGGED INTO SUNLIGHT). Their combined work allowed a bleak vision to be realized, and an attempt at independently producing an alternative take cemented their belief in the relentless and considered Broadrick/Dring result. Seldon Hunt was the natural choice when it came to choosing an artist to adorn "N.V.," his cold, ruthless style of illustration paralleling the horror of the record, as his previous work for bands like Khanate had also done. Truly then, this is a record made up of the work of a great number of talented and respected individuals, who have come together to magnify their efforts in to a blinding singularity.

"N.V." is available now for pre-order on CD or LP (including limited pressings in black, piss yellow and transparent milk w/ black splatter) via Prosthetic's webstore (http://store.prostheticrecords.com). Digital pre-orders will launch tomorrow on iTunes, Amazon and Bandcamp, with "Visceral Repulsion" offered as an immediate download with purchase.

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I searched myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
