An eclectic but incredibly well-integrated blend of traditional death metal, melodeath, black metal, progressive, and even a bit of folk (with the added bonus of audible and tasty bass guitar). The album has a consistent, pulverizing momentum punctuated by the rare acoustic passage or catchy chorus/refrain. Overall an unbelievably mature first offering from an up-and-coming band to watch.

Five tracks of eviscerating, pummeling death metal. No compromise will be found within the music that Skullcrush have crafted, fast at the right moments to give the listener a dizzying effect wearing them out only to hit them with the right amount of doom to slowly pound their head into the ground, leaving nothing but a bloodied pulp. Skullcrush rule!!! Christopher
Featuring members of Noothgrush, Graves at Sea, and more, the Oakland metal band juxtapose cavernous doom with spaced-out shoegaze. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 21, 2024
