Links:
Genre: Death/Doom/Sludge/Black Metal
Biography:
"Founded in late 2010 Warcrab
hail from the South West of England and were formed through friendships forged
during previous local musical projects. Their crushing style and colossal live
sound draws on a range influences including Death, Black and Doom Metal as well
as classic bands such as Black Sabbath.
The highlight of Warcrab's
year so far has been playing the New blood stage at Bloodstock festival (watch the video of this on YouTube) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeUrTry0uv8
In this Iron Tomb
The E.P begins with an ambient flavour of doom and then progresses
into a sludge that is engaged in heavy antagonistic twists be them from a
bombastic array of blast beats and scorching voracious onslaught of vocals that
are spiked with yet more viciousness that is distinctively exhilarating.

“For those who love the power of
death metal with doom, sludge and black injected components then look no
further than this E.P – it has more energy than a gym goer on steroids that is
typically walking sideways!!!”

Lay all to Waste
The urgency on this track although slightly slower than the previous
track does not take away from its thick resounding excitement as it coaxes and
teases its way into the spotlight. Its torrent of bewitching energy is apparent
and quite technically structured. The vocals are heavy, dark and engaging
through-out whilst the deep cataclysmic grooves swagger with predation.
Scourge of the Usurper
The textures are bold and malevolent in their approach to quite
literally sweep the listener into a maelstrom of dark madness. It is cloaked in
a swaggering rhythmic flurry of seething guitars that briskly intervene with
more than just an emotive force.
Entombed in Flames
Well there are signs of fatigue on the neck muscles kicking in now –
this track has more of a black metal feel especially where the vocals are
concerned as they sound shrill and gnarly, however they fluctuate between death
and black adding yet more interest to an already mesmerising and indeed
menacing track.
Ashes of Carnage
Another high octane track that challenges as well as teases its victims
into submission. Its tempests soar and swoop on the aural like a hungry
vulture. Forcibly wrapping a steely haze of rhythms around a seething vocal
prowess whilst the hasty swipes of the drums keep it guided on certain levels
whilst being unrestrained in others.
Summary:
This is one superb E.P that just keeps on delivering the goods at a
hearty rate, certainly ticking all the boxes for brutality and intrigue. It
holds plenty of addictiveness in its out stretched hands.
Contagious, and melodic, its musical accompaniment is heavy and
under its heaviness lies a nonchalant swagger of rhythm. Vocally scintillating
it pushes the frenzy boundaries and leaps stealthily into an unknown void.
Greedy for attention and exceeding its own brutality. Who would have
thought that doom and sludge be so accommodating? Drenched in pure hatred and taking on a
tremendous presence that is equally unlimited, this is one fired up, fuelled
filled brawl.
For those who love the power of death metal with doom, sludge and
black injected components then look no further than this E.P – it has more energy
than a gym goer on steroids that is typically walking sideways!!
Just loving this!!!
