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

Who is in in love with the old Anathema, My Dying Bride or even Paradise Lost should definitely check out these northern Irish guys “The Crawling”. The Trio was just set up 2 years ago and “In Light of Dark Days” is the first sign of life, beside of a single track.

Those weeping willows from the Isle celebrate Doom Death with a whole bunch of passion and dedication, though some big melodies are missing here and there to be on one level with the already mentioned acts. But: The approach is really impressive. Diversion is written very tall and beside of mighty riff passages there are also acoustic elements to keep the listeners ear on it. If they can get this atmosphere a little catchier, The Crawling will definitely look towards a gloryful future!

7/9

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.

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 practis

CD review: 'In Light of Dark Days' - Lords of Metal

Marcel H. : Yes, I know. I am a sucker for death doom and then especially for the kind that has some real death metal in it and not that gothic stuff.. So, hell yeah, I am listening to The Crawling’s ‘In Light Of Dark Days’ EP with a huge grin from ear to ear.  Drummer Gary Beattie some of you might know from his drumming in Zombified and it’s especially he who puts the death metal into The Crawling. For death doom this EP is short with its three songs which clock in at a total of a little over nineteen minutes. The longest song is just over eight minutes. An advantage is that the listener will be fully focussed from start to finish. Don’t expect any innovation but just well-executed death doom which makes it clear where these gentlemen got their inspiration from. Lords of Metal
