"Openers The Crawling are already on stage by the time your humble PR scribe climbs the two flights of stairs to the club room. Playing only their second ever gig – and their first with this line up – the experience of the constituent members nonetheless shines through immediately. Their dark, growling, grunting blackened metal has a rock ‘n’ stroll groove, and is deeply melodic and atmospheric, centred around Stuart Rainey’s thick bass sound and Andy Clarke’s impactful minimalistic guitar riffs."
