There is a cruel, dark force in Atlanta, GA and we call it Crawl. They've teamed up with Bad Roads Records in Russia to release "30 Year Suicide"- a 7" with two tracks of sludgy doom that puts all of their gloomy ruthlessness on display. It starts with "Pornography of Grief, a slow and harsh song demonstrating a guitar tone that with crush you with every note. The screeching vocals bring a sharpness to it that balances well with the deep sound of the bass. There's also a short guitar solo on this one that is sorrowful but absolutely beautiful. Then comes the title track "30 Year Suicide" which is introduced by tones that all seem to echo in a warning of oncoming danger. As the ominous music drones on, raspy vocals come in completely laden with agony, seeming almost deranged amidst the quiet but bleak atmosphere. But after about 4 minutes the terror is exposed as the full power of the band hits with a violent rhythm, The crunch from the first track returns and the vocals find their home in the fully featured sound. As a whole, "30 Year Suicide" feels like step up in brutality from Crawl's previous works with more anger and anguish then what we've heard before. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on a physical copy once it's out! -Brandon
