CD review: 'In Light of Dark Days' - Necromance

From Northern Ireland, Lisburn, the EP advancement of this band that make doom death metal or as they are called Slow Death Metal, comes THE CRAWLING . Newly formed in 2014, we are approaching this world of misery and contempt around us along three songs that form their EP "In Light Of Dark Days", recreating a dark and aggressive atmosphere, with very heavy guitars and a guttural deep and torn by Andy Clarke a suicio and forceful low by Stuart Rainey also makes his vocal escapades and accompanying pecusiĆ³n hand perfectly Gary Beattie.

It is a dark disk, where happiness is left parked across the sidewalk is impossible to achieve and which have been published by GrindScene Records and a very good artwork design and charcoal where a female figure is diluted in the dark .

"The Right To Crawl" begins show journey into darkness, slowly, with hints doom and guitars reminiscent of MY DYING BRIDE, while the guttural voice appears to accelerate the pace and enter a dark debacle, with duality of voices ranging from acute and guttural. It is an endless mountain that rises and falls constantly pace, but like a marshland it were grabs you and hypnotizes you with the melodies of guitars.

"End Of The Rope". Has a mysterious beginning and acoustic, where the heaviest records in both vocal and guitar riffs make their presence, a march towards the abyss without pause, alternating acoustic beautiful passages with dense and heavy riffs distorted. A short but intense theme with a more open closure, with hints of black post.

"Catatonic" is the last track of this EP and the longest in turn is one of the ones I like, though with only three subjects and three good is difficult to keep some, but chose this for its composition musical, more spun from a sedate start, introducing us to the sound of a storm and rain that interweaves with the original bass and rhythmic percussion, while the guitars and voices through the curtain of water appear. A theme doom or slow death, dense, heavy and melodic, which develops and accelerates at intervals showing a malignant aggressiveness with bass and treble guttural cries, (this part is amazing, the counterpoint to get with alternating rhythms) to return back to their heavy travel through the mud. In its final part, it changes structurally and with a strong rhythm guitar adds a touch of class to the theme tune, varying it in terms of voices and guitars to return to home and put the finishing touch.

THE CRAWLING with this EP, leaves a good taste waiting for his long life, he knows a little three very good songs which especially emphasizes "Catatonic" and secondly "End Of The Rope". An EP that will listen dozens of times in the remaining days of winter.

8/10

LIVE review: Voodoo - 06/01/2017 - Uber Rock

PHOTO CREDIT: ©  Darren McVeigh /Uber Rock. ... A quick trip to the bogs and the bar, in that order, fills the changeover time before headliners The Crawling create a mood darker than the venue’s black-painted walls but joyous enough to welcome the sunshine of the next morning’s mid-winter dawn a few hours early. Mainland readers might be familiar with the band’s name from their absolutely crushing set on the New Blood stage at last summer’s Bloodstock (funny how the Irish bands, from both sides of the border, absolutely destroyed every other act on the bill that weekend). For those unfamiliar with them, however, this dark destructive force deliver doom-infused deathly riffs heavy enough to wake the slumbering giant on the hill which overlooks the city, coupled with huge, gristly, throbbing rhythms with loads of fat on them, coupled with gnarly, growling harmonies driven by behemothic blastbeats that at times defy the laws of physics in their psychotic speed combined with pra...
