Twitching Tongues is an American heavy metal band from California. The band was founded in 2009 by brothers Colin and Taylor Young.[1] The band has released four full-length albums: Sleep Therapy in 2012, In Love There Is No Law in 2013, Disharmony in 2015, and Gaining Purpose Through Passionate Hatred in 2018. They have also released two EPs – 2011's I & I (Insane and Inhumane) and 2012's Preacher Man.[2] Twitching Tongues has toured internationally in the past, alongside other metal bands such as Harm's Way.[3]

Their 2015 album, Disharmony, was positively reviewed by NPR's Lars Gotrich, who wrote that Twitching Tongues has "been particularly adept at the moody mosh."[4] The album also received a favorable reception from Vice's John Hill, who opined that "hardcore is at its best when it takes risks", using the band's song "Asylum Avenue" as an example.[1] In a 2018 Revolver interview, the band's frontman, Colin Young, said that Peter Steele had been a formative influence on his music and the band's work.[5]
