Furry Tongue
German heavy music ensemble MAVIS, featuring vocalist Phil Donay, guitarist Manu Weller, bass player Mo Amrein, and drummer Jakob Schulz-Klein, are wasting no time releasing new music and announce their sophomore single 'Furry Tongue', out now via Arising Empire!
MAVIS stunned the music world with their recent release, 'Tortured Land', and now they're back, venturing even further into uncharted musical territory with their new single, 'Furry Tongue'. This latest masterpiece is a harmonious chaos, elegantly flitting between time signatures while maintaining a fluid, danceable rhythm.
“The complexity of ‘Furry Tongue’ didn't compromise its groove. Achieving a song you can dance to was a pinnacle for us", shares lead singer Phil.

'Furry Tongue' is a musical narrative that mirrors its lyrical content – it dances on the edge of intuition and overanalysis, exploring the tenuous balance that exists between the two and the exploitation that can arise from either extreme. Phil equates this delicate balancing act to the uncomfortable yet familiar sensation of a furry tongue.
Audiences are led on an auditory journey, meandering through exquisite melodies and clean vocals before being plunged into the intense, arresting breakdown riffs, a testament to MAVIS’s skillful songwriting and performance prowess.
If 'Tortured Land' was an introduction to their dynamism, 'Furry Tongue' solidifies their position as forerunners in innovative metalcore.
The visual component, a collaboration with Danny Jakov (deadapefilms), encapsulates the song’s essence. It oscillates between cerebral choreography and instinctive movement, translating the lyrical and musical duality into a visual spectacle that accentuates the emotive power of 'Furry Tongue'. In this immersive experience, MAVIS reaffirms that they’re not just musicians - they’re storytellers, blurring the boundaries between genres and artistic mediums.
