Leng Tch'e is the fourth release from John Zorn's band Naked City.

Unlike Naked City's previously material, which was known for its fast tempo and rapid transitions between a variety of heterogeneous styles, Leng Tch'e is a more avant-garde take on sludge metal.

The cover photograph features a Chinese man being subjected to the Leng Tch'e method of torture, the overarching theme of the piece.

From the liner notes: Research into the relationship between violence and the sacred led Zorn to the writings of Georges Bataille.

In the end, the patient writhed, his chest flayed, arms and legs cut off at the elbows and at the knees.
