From Filthy Tongue of Gods and Griots is an album by Dälek, released in 2002. The album contains other instruments besides vocals and turntables including guitar, both electric and acoustic, drums, bass, and keyboards provided by various musical artists.

Taking nearly five years to record by gathering and mixing new material, the album takes a vastly different path from usual rap and hip hop we find today. Such songs as "Heads" and "Black Smoke Rises" are more of spoken word tracks with various samples of noise and other odd sounds.
