Crawl - Damned (2023)

Truly haunting dungeon synth laden blackened funeral doom

The debut full-length from San Antonio’s Crawl not only pushes new means of manifesting medieval darkness dangerously close to the metal mainstream – it’s also a paradoxical masterclass in virtuosic skill combined with coherent artistic intent, world-creating vision and despairing emotive force.

Dragged into Sunlight - Hatred for Mankind

This has absolutely got to be one of my favorite metal albums of all time. Like to me this is a classic among classics. This thing just goes so incredibly hard. The perfect mix of death, doom, black, and sludge metal fuckingn rules. The riffs on this thing are so punchy and we’ll constructed but still have that tenorey screech to them that you know and love from black metal. On top of that the samples on this thing are incredibly unnerving and definitely get across the overall message and feel of the band. A must listen for every metal head, but especially those who like the heavier, crueler, and more intense.

listening to this feels like getting your skull caved in by a lighting bolt spell cast by an evil wizard in a dark spooky tower

Damned

Crawl

Four tracks showcasing the agonized depths of traumatic perseverance. Eerie ambience intermixed with drudging, pounding despondency and venomous retaliation. The album is loneliness, despair, disgust, and hatred sculpted by tormented screams, steadily crashing drums, macabre samples and haunting bass. Simultaneously desolate and claustrophobic, it's an abyss that glares back at the listener.

It can be purchased via Bandcamp, Profound Lore Records, and the band's website.

Who knows how long I’ve stood here Or how many times I may wander, but I will return The same time each night For running water plays the score to this scene I stand and stare into the mirror This has become so familiar to me Because I no longer rest where I used to sleep A handful of water to cool your face Will be the only comfort you’ll know So pick up your heart and run for your life To drain your body of all its energy For heavy steps on a quiet path Is the sound of earning your rest Try to sleep On the other side of the room Forget all the time you have lost For it’s the insight that kills you This night will end Only to begin again And nothing will change until the change of the seasons Many months away The night is long Exhausted I make my way home As the earliest of those begin their day I finally begin to sleep This strain that resolves in me Truly has come at a cost For the rain that falls on me Was drawn from the Sea of Immeasurable Loss
