Similarly, the influence of hydration status on performance in the heat and how systemic and peripheral hemodynamic adjustments contribute to fatigue development is elucidated.
The impact of heat stress on human performance is also examined, including the underlying physiological mechanisms that mediate the impairment of exercise performance. An outline is provided on how exercise-heat stress disrupts these homeostatic processes, leading to hyperthermia, hypohydration, sodium disturbances, and in some cases exertional heat illness. The fundamental concepts and physiological processes associated with thermoregulation and fluid balance are initially described, followed by a summary of methods to determine thermal strain and hydration status. This review provides a comprehensive and integrative overview of how the human body responds to exercise under heat stress and the countermeasures that can be adopted to enhance aerobic performance under such environmental conditions. Black Tongue temporarily tone it down for a brief second on "A Dying God Coming Into Human Flesh" (a Celtic Frost cover!!) as the slow, quiet, yet building intro briefly abandons the metal as it leads into another epic, face-melting sludgy breakdown - while it may start off as the softest point on "Nadir," it ends up being one of the heaviest points of the record, so if you're skipping over this track simply because of the intro to the song, you're missing out on one of the finest moments of "Nadir.A rise in body core temperature and loss of body water via sweating are natural consequences of prolonged exercise in the heat. The maddening breakdowns you'll find across this record - as with the bands previous work - have to be so insane to hear live the second half of "Crippled Before the Dwelling Place of God"is just a vicious display of doom and death. And it doesn't let up at all throughout this beast of a record: songs like "Abuse Ritual," "The Cathedral" and "Crippled Before the Dwelling Place of God" continue the drawn out, murderous heavy sound throughout their delivery, and I know I've said it before but there just isn't anything that is this epic sounding in our genre, at least none that's crossed my ears yet. This is the perfect song off "Nadir" to experience if you've never heard a Black Tongue song or if you're just wanting to experiment with the bands new album the final moments of this album will leave you physically shattered - yes, it's that god damn heavy. "Second Death" picks up the pace a bit, starting off with a brief brutal headbang-worthy intro before leading you into unruly blast beats that return about half way through the song that are sure to invoke deep, dark feelings in the listener as you beg for more. Mix those guitars, the undeniably epic percussion and evil as fuck vocals together, and you've got a recipe for good goddamn metal. With genres like technical death metal, there's an overload of detail drilling into your ear drums all at once with Black Tongue, all the fancy is stripped away until you're left with the underlying, notoriously heavy sound that fans from all metal backgrounds will enjoy.
That wicked, slow-but-fatal sound is what makes this band outshine so much other music that tries to sound like it. When the fierce, drawn out doomy guitar finally hits you, it fucking HITS. Try opening track "The Eternal Return to Ruin" for example even just seconds in, what you're hearing is undoubtedly a BT song, through and through. Some may just say it's sludgy but honestly, I think that's what makes it sound so different from everything else we hear from "core" bands let's be honest, you know when you're hearing a Black Tongue song, there's no doubt about it. Black Tongue's unique and distinct sound definitely will not be for everyone in a weird way, I think it takes a certain type of ear to truly listen to what you're listening to and to fully appreciate just how insanely heavy it is.
