Swedish death/crust titans Crawl finally unleash their highly awaited new full length after a gap of six years. The announcement came after whetting everyone’s appetites with their exciting split release with label mates Feral. Titled Altar of Disgust, this eleven track full-length will come out on May 3rd, via Transcending Obscurity Records. Sam D Larsson created the artwork.
They’ve not mellowed their sound as most bands would. Instead, they’ve rendered their sound even more devastating while making it more nuanced, perfecting their enviable balance of abrasive riffing and explosive breakdowns. Crawl keeps mixing things around to keep it interesting and with bodies piling on top of one another. What’s more, with the album progressing, they begin to reveal black metal influences ensconced in their sound.
It’s good enough to have a Swedish death metal band showing how things have to be done… And savagely sawing everyone’s heads off with their rusted, jagged, crust-laden riffs! However, for them, to insidiously change the shades to black in the midst of all the mayhem is pure genius. They shape-shift as if to only deliver a final, decisive, finishing move through the speakers. Leaving no stone unturned, Crawl have come up with an album that should serve as an epitome of crust-ridden Swedish death metal in these times.
