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, frontman Colin Young said that Peter Steele had been a formative influence on his music and the band's work.[5]
