CRAWL BELOW: "Its Ministers On Earth" Out Now


Post-Metal/Doom project CRAWL BELOW has released its newest album, Its Ministers On Earth on Lawnmowerjetpack Records.

CRAWL BELOW's fourth album comes in the form of blackened death doom, New England style. After the one-man-band's foray into doomgaze on 2021's 9 Mile Square, and previous offerings featuring punked-out black metal and Lovecraftian pub songs, Its Ministers On Earth goes back to CRAWL BELOW's creepy, witchy metallic New England roots - and serves as a summoning to aquatic nightmare gods. 

"If the thought of something vicious, spawned from Satan’s bowels himself, floats your boat, then wholeheartedly, jump on this. If loud, abrasive, and nasty, sends you running for the hills, you probably best get them running shoes on…" - The Sleeping Shaman

"The amount of musical ground that gets covered throughout this release is nothing short of extraordinary." - Distorted Sound Mag

Its Ministers on Earth is now available on digital and limited-edition CD. Order the album at crawlbelow.bandcamp.com/album/its-ministers-on-earth

The album was mixed by Dave Kaminsky at Studio Wormwood and mastered by Ryan Williams at Augmented Audio.

Track List:
1.The Daemon Damned Season
2. Red Fell The Vapours
3. Summoning Rite
4. Yet Foul From Their Eyes
5. Will Rot The Base Chains
6. O Great Priest
7. And Deep In The Worm

CRAWL BELOW is a one-man band from eastern Connecticut that explores different realms of dark music on every release. Featuring a member of When The Deadbolt Breaks, Animal Schoolbus, Low Moments, Charlie Sad Eyes & The Diminishing Returns.

CRAWL BELOW mastermind Charlie Sad Eyes is one the most prolific and diverse musicians in underground metal.

Singapore-based music producer Amyr Abadawn debuts in the underground scene with "The New Chapter"

After years of working with commercial music, Amyr Abadawn has finally managed to make his own underground debut album in 2021. He decided to make a concept album heavily influenced by the middle eastern style of metal lead by a futuristic character that came back to the past to get his music skills. You can listen to a combination of modern and old school in an album that features collaborations with some artists like Wazzmo, Fatin SerulingLady and Cavallotto Rossana.

Abadawn comments on the album's futuristic character: «His world was about to end with no music. Everything was about to be destroyed by the aliens & the alien's weakness is music. He had no choice but to travel to the past to learn everything about music. In that era, he discovers a lot of challenges such as war with Alien Egyptian Gods. He keeps knowledge and fights the wars. But actually, the Aliens are not dead. There will be a continued story.»

The album will be available worldwide through the Shredguy Records online store.

FINAL CRY announce new album "The Ever-Rest", set to be released on 18 March!


With their mountaineering epic "The Ever-Rest", the Lower Saxons from Final Cry are preparing to release an absolute highlight of their musical output to date. The album contains 10 tracks of atmospheric-melodic and at the same time deadly-freezing thrash/death metal, which builds a bridge between the classic thrash of the 80s and the gloomy Scandinavian styles of the 90s and portrays this mixture in a contemporary guise. The exceptional concept of the longplayer, is rounded off by a 20-page storybook that tells the real-life stories underlying each individual song. "The Ever-Rest" will be released on 18 March via MDD as a CD in a jewel case and as a nobly designed DigiPak, which will be a strictly limited part of a box set. The album will also be released on vinyl.

For some backing vocals and choirs, which selectively support the epic depth of the theme and serve as points of contrast in the hard-hitting arrangements, Herbie Langhans (AVANTASIA a.o.) and Børd Wäsche (EYE SEE BLACK a.o.) could be won. "The Ever-Rest" was recorded, mixed and mastered at Soundlodge under the wing of Jörg Uken (a.o God Dethroned, Dew Scented), who gave the production a razor-sharp and neck-breaking sound. You can find a first glimpse of the cover artwork and the first teaser of the album enclosed!

TWISTED TOWER DIRE: Nameless Grave Records To Release Crest Of The Martyrs Demos From Virginia Heavy Metal Act; "Some Other Time, Some Other Place" Streaming + Preorders Posted


 

photo by Charry Jones
Nameless Grave Records presents Crest Of The Martyrs Demos, an alternate/demo version of TWISTED TOWER DIRE’s adored third album, making the recordings available for the first time.
 
In the days of olde, after classic heavy metal was supplanted by extreme music and before the current reignition of interest that the genre has enjoyed, Northern Virginia’s TWISTED TOWER DIRE tirelessly defended true heavy metal in all forms as they sought to breathe new light into a then largely dead genre. By the time their now-legendary third album Crest Of The Martyrs was written they were on top of the world, having played Wacken for the first time a couple years earlier and having released two full-lengths on The Miskatonic Foundation, run by Rich Walker of Solstice fame, as well as a wide array of EPs, splits, compilation tracks, and more.
 
Crest Of The Martyrs was the next step: a bigger power metal label, sleeker production, and TWISTED TOWER DIRE’s biggest hooks and choruses yet. Underneath the gleaming power metal edge provided by the production provided by the label and studio still lurked the same triumphing true metal band, however, and for the first time Nameless Grave Records is proud to present Crest Of The Martyrs the way the band originally intended it: as a devastating, lean set of heavy metal bangers untouched by modern power metal production, and alternate studio decisions.
 
Old fans of the band can rejoice to have this different set of recordings available for the first time, and new fans can marvel at the powerhouse of one of America’s finest bands playing at their best. Highly recommended for fans of Visigoth, Pharaoh, and Omen.
 
Recorded in 2002 at Killabrew Studios, produced by Matt Crooks and TWISTED TOWER DIRE, and mastered by Dan Lowndes at Resonance Sound Studios, Crest Of The Martyrs Demos is completed with artwork personally done for this release by guitarist Scott Waldrop. The CD version features bonus tracks not included on the vinyl, including a second demo as well as a live track from Wacken 2003, and both the CD and vinyl editions bear liner notes from the band. The LP will be pressed in a total run of 500 copies, including 300 on Black and 100 on Silver. No Remorse Records (Greece) will have an exclusive 100 copies on Light Blue vinyl.
