Rituals

by CRAWL

supported by

Nocturnal Egg (Jordan) Il est rare qu'on soit consentant à offrir sa vie pour les cultes : c'est pour ça que les rituels de sacrifices humains impliquent la consommation de drogues ou alcools — les institutions militaires s'en sont d'ailleurs inspirées en temps de guerres. Crawl utilise justement la tromperie avec Rituals : titre et pochette laissent présager doom ou black metal occulte mais le groupe suédois arrache la chair avec un death metal intense aux guitares grasses, comme chez Bloodbath ou Henry Kane. Fou ! Favorite track: Black Ritual.

kaylakarrion You NEED to hear this amazing band!!!!

dcdirkzwager I came here because that split record with Feral is so impressive. This is pretty good to. Shame I misssed it when it came out!

about

From the label that put out releases of PAGANIZER, HENRY KANE and URSINNE which upheld the brand of Swedish death metal, you have CRAWL unleashing their debut full length that sets new standards for the style. Crushing Swedeath honouring the progenitors and at the same time stepping out their shadows by concocting a vile mix with influences of punk/crust and hardcore is what's on offer here. 'Rituals' is an irreverent exercise in bombarding the classic style with fresh elements and lending to the staid style new vitality. Prepare to be shocked, annihilated and thrilled at the prospect of listening to the new masterpiece.

Made As Those Who Are No Longer Alive SPLIT
by FERAL/CRAWL

Having recently put out a split release with CRAWL, label mates FERAL play Swedish death metal that's crushing with some great songwriting skills to boot. This is one of the best bands in the style! Crawl

Beyond The Macabre
by PAGANIZER

PAGANIZER are veritable Swedish death metal legends and it's easy to see why. They've honed their sound to perfection, a brilliant mix of crushing death metal music with an undercurrent of melody. Crawl

NekroFvneral
by VOMITHEIST

Swiss death metal band VOMITHEIST create some of the nastiest and heaviest death metal while also keeping it insanely catchy. Their debut full length is a standout album in the style in recent times! Crawl

Scandinavian death metal is so awesome most of the time, it's beyond words really. Such rigor, precision, craftmanship otherwordly. Even though I had been checking some releases by Paganizer over the years I came back to The Tower of the Morbid here on BC by mere chance and decided to give it another go, mid tempo with harsh low toned vocals and great guitar work.
