about

Hissing Veil (DAIS 024), Bestial Mouths debut, is 40 minutes of intense gloom. A meditation on the relationship between transgressor and victim conceived in a flurry of automatic writing, Hissing Veil is an urgent declaration revealed in a barrage of primitive rhythms and feral calls. Uncompromising, beautiful synth and beat driven compositions haunted by deep and brooding female vocals. Los Angeles's finest.

Track Name: Quijada
Not to scream out

Please don’t let me fall
Track Name: Weaving Mirror
A glittering surgical moment

Screaming in huts of straw & mud



I can’t find my eyes in the mirror



A glittering surgical moment

Decomposing maw of a mouth



I can’t find my eyes in the mirror



A glittering surgical moment
Track Name: Slow Slicing
Asexually committed to the waves of gold

Tied to a wooden frame ascending the mountain

Symmetrically facing slow death

A column of knives, a column of cuspids



And every lost tooth grows back in twos

For every lost tooth two grow back from the root



Terrible jaws

Tied to the torture

Tied to the torture

Split into twos

A million incisors from a million sockets



And every lost tooth grows back in twos

For every lost tooth two grow back from the root



SLOW

SLICING
Track Name: Small Prey
Obscenities from the burning distance

White masked children in animal shapes

Looking forward to the barren savannah

I began to scream uncontrollably

CLASPED HANDS NO RESISTANCE CLASPED HANDS NO RESISTANCE



I’m not to keen on fits of repentance

You go on carving me up

In pieces after memory

Small prey, small prey



Our miracles are meadows on fire

Our miracles are animals in flames

An inhuman voice

I begin to scream uncontrollably



I’m not to keen on fits of repentance

You go on carving me up

In pieces after memory

Small prey, small prey



Small Prey

Small Prey

Small Prey

Small Prey

Small Prey
Track Name: Glass
Standing together holding hands in the streets

Sand turns to glass
Track Name: Butcher
We are …

You are…



Torment has an invisible pattern

A fabric of small wounds

Unravel the vestments to a sacred end

Tear out my tongue and cut out my eyes



I stand together with the butcher

I am busying myself beside you
Track Name: Cutters
Writhing at the foot of the mountain

Convulsing in an ocean of flies

There’s a flickering in the distance

Flash of green in the sky

Flailing naked into the tundra

Embroidered veil glass & ice

Specks of light out of blue air

Emaciated face in the sky



There was no light



There was no ascent


Cut off

Chopped

Cutting
Track Name: Shimmering Ills
Shimmering ills…..
Track Name: Gulls
Collapsed across this flayed shore

A squall pierced by keening sobs

Across the waves

A voice complains

Awaiting hokum from knotted tongues

From somewhere in these throats

Poison velvet hissing calls

To gleam with suffering

The beating wings and clamor of gulls



On the sickening edge of the air

In a weeping telepathy

Take a piece of our silence

And bring you screaming back to me



Spinning in this turning fog

A vicious colony

Insatiable for martyrdom

This senseless gathering



Wrapped across these speckled rocks

To tear away this clinging caul

A wailing infants gnarled face

Beneath a shimmering sea of gulls



On the sickening edge of the air

In a weeping telepathy

Take a piece of our silence

And bring you screaming back to me
Track Name: Hissing Veil
Hissing Veil

A patterned ground of shrieking glass & ice

Below sunken lids the dimmest stars

They hide beneath our eyes

A pinioned face, fold our arms

Bored with scythe and spade

Tired eyes no longer dazzle, hollowed out, a cave

Bound across the slacken jaws & lashed around the limbs

Forever mining out a jewel from decomposing lids



Hissing Veil

Hissing Veil
Track Name: Yes A Great Silence Is Waiting
Fate

Has left me here

And struck me blind

Sore eyes slashed out

And left to die

Unceasing peace

Asleep in ruins

The grinding teeth

Immobilize



I am speaking

For human beings

Amputations

Disappearing

Whose best guillotines

Massacres converge

Weeping in tall grass

Catacombs succumb



A GREAT SILENCE IS WAITING



Sing tongues peel, a warm sound



Garments of Light……
Track Name: Flew Up In Birds
The birds flew up in showers

Flew the showers up in birds

Showers birds up in flew

Birds the showers flew up in

Up the birds in showers flew

Showers flew up in
Track Name: Rattling The Teeth
There is no reason

To hide your face

Cover your eyes

Blot out the sound

There is no future

Never release

Always this now



There is no reason

There is no cause

Only this torment

Only this calm

Born in a panic

An ocean of tears

A flesh colored hell

Always this now



There is no future

Never release

Always this now
