Gravecrawler New Song "Stagnant"

 Gravecrawler

"Stagnant"


Gravecrawler is a sludgy viscous death metal band from Sweden. They aren't exactly new. They are making themselves well known. With catchy grindy hooks. Black Metal style melodies and just enough brutal slam to make your neck ache.

They have slowly released songs off their upcoming full-length "Nidus". Somewhat of a concept album centering around a rotten vile empty pit of despair. Yet something grows there amidst the gloom. Something sinister yet alive among the dead all the same.

"Stagnant" being the newest it thunders in with a doomy melody and crushing drums. The song quickly gains momentum. With Gravecrawler there is a somewhat signature mixture of slam, black metal, old school death metal and gore grind.

You'll take just enough of a battering to stay conscious. To appreciate the excellent vocal trade offs and the punchy lead work. "Stagnant" simply bludgeons you with the word. Nothing changes, nothing grows. Endless wasted nothing.

I am stoked to always hear new Gravecrawler
 As well as waiting anxiously to hear the entire album. I am slightly selfish here. I do hold a very small credit for lyrics within this song.

Normally I wouldn't publicly state information like that. I am far too secretive and mysterious. It is technically publicly available knowledge. I do at times get to speak with lead singer Billy Lundeval.
He is as funny as he is talented, as is the rest of the band.

So with that I don't give rankings. Just my honest thoughts. Bias as they may be though I've been a fan since I found the rough mixed Chapter 1: Abominations EP on bandcamp. Listen to Gravecrawler or you mosy assuredly are fucking up.

Antimozdebeast - Prelude

Image
Antimozdebeast "Prelude" February 26th the solo artist AntiMozdeBeast released a surprise new song entitled "Prelude". In anticipation of his upcoming release due out May 15th "The Vagrant Unkempt Grave". Prelude is a standalone single. AntiMozdebeast is a talented musician who writes, records and produces all of his own work. A master at creating haunting nightmarish dissonant soundscapes. Industrial Metal/electronic somewhat Gothic inspired. Their is a discordant chaos that is organized and focused to create discomfort. While also to provoke thought and emotion. Prelude is very much a chaotic whirlwind of pulsing synth and electronica. Surrounded by the harsh screams and chanted poetic vocals. There is an ominous feeling throughout.  Something that stands out to me often when I listen to AntiMozdeBeast is how intensely organized and well crafted the music is. While often coming across so dissonant and chaotic it feels improvisational. Which I think alot ...

AntiMozdeBeast - The Vagrant Unkempt Grave   Today I am reviewing the most recent AntiMozdebeast full length. Self released May 15th. AntiMozdebeast is a talented vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, song writer, producer. He is an all in one, jack of all trades.  Since 2019 this Florida musician has worked tirelessly. Self releasing over a dozen full lengths. Not to mention various EP's and Singles. Creating a chaotic, atmospheric mixture of industrial, electronic, goth, synth, black metal. The Vagrant Unkempt Grave is led by "Solitude". Combining thunderous drum and bass, and a chaotic whirlwind of pulsating synth and keys. While the vocals recite an almost cult-like chant. Occasionally interspersed with the primal screams so often found in AntiMozdeBeast music. The strengths of AntiMozdeBeast are his ability to create discomfort, hellish soundscapes relying on heavy pulsating synth, drums and bass. These are often driven by occasional melodic, soaring arpeggios, and keyboa...
