Wolves and the Hideous White

by The Crawling

supported by

kyrgiannis It delivers the promise. Misery! It reveals the inner darkness of this world. Favorite track: Drowned In Shallow Water.

Venombullet666 This is the perfect follow-up to Anatomy Of Loss, it's so solid! Every song is a standout and many paces are explored on this album to great effect, this is a Deathdoom release that isn't afraid to go off the beaten path at times and everyone should check it out!

Favorite track: Still No Sun.

Existo-Vulgore My fav release of 2018. Yes...it is that good.

joe-duffin from the opening chords of The Wolves, to the outro of Promises! just awesome work \M/

Big T I've been waiting for another release from the crawling it's hurt lol. this band just creates music that eats at your soul.. drags you into misery and fucks you up with the despair captured in it's tones. proof that heavy music doesn't need a thousand beats a minute to be heavy as fuck. if this doesn't stir the anger in your heart n mind then your truly a lost cause... no uneeded guitar wankery.. notes where notes are needed.
if your not sure... buy it anyway you'll not regret it

stay fucking miserable 🤘

ronan666 big improvement over the first album, my only complaint is that it's not got enough songs because the albums that good and leaves you wanting more. Bought both albums to support this great band. Favorite track: Wolves and the Hideous White.

1.	Wolves and the Hideous White 06:40	lyrics
Can you remember the name of god? And yet you cry, forsaken by those crowned above. Welcome home, dry your eyes, and recollect all the time you have been bastardised. Tell the wolves I’m home. Drowning in rats. Tell the wolves I’m home. I am nothing without your love, separation of the nothingness that has begun. I ask forgiveness for all my sins; abstract thought of all the hatred i have locked within. Tell the wolves I’m home. Drowning in rats. Tell the wolves I’m home. Carve to the bone, you burn my wings World falls on everything Dragging sunlight across my skin. Glide so soft; seven heart strings on the violin. Sadness song, for all to hear. A final wish to end it all and make you disappear. Tell the wolves I’m home. Drowning in rats. Tell the wolves I’m home. Strangled by hands on my heart. Twisting my words in the dark.
2.	Still No Sun 05:19	lyrics
Staring through the holes in my hands, dark as the language of their fane. Rotting from the inside out, afraid of what becomes when we turn away, I need to cut you off, i feel the itch with every word that you breathe So decomposed and so pale; inhale, exhale and all will be well. The poison is our drink and we shall swallow it down, we are deceiver as our children with doll. Violent as delights that have a violent end, i am your brother, your son, father of all Sun cannot shine through the thickening dark, i see nothing on the eyes of those more careless than not Feeding on the dreams i have lost, I’m walking out of your shadow - yet still no sun A boy asleep against a body, devoted to a corpse Brother eats mother, who kills to believe; desolate - my abandoned tomb The poison is our drink and we shall swallow it down, we are deceiver as our children with doll. Violent as delights that have a violent end, i am your brother, your son, father of all I cannot believe I am an insect in your world Love died last night, It lay in rot for years. Someone, somewhere has reset the switch I can't remember. It's been so long.
3.	Drowned In Shallow Water 06:29	lyrics
Tearing through my skin Thorns grow through like vein I can't remember anything So deep, so strong; arcane You were my sun, my moon, my dream Only you could shatter everything I am the voice of your mocking bird Paralysed in your grieving world One last roam in memory lane So many pieces of my heart I stare at my hands, they bleed in shame Where to begin? Can i start again? You were my sun, my moon, my dream Only you could shatter everything I am the voice of your mocking bird Paralysed in your grieving world I saw it coming Something wrong I saw it coming The day it all went wrong There was a mirror just for you Only show what was skin deep Never reflect, never a smile The time has come to look within You were my sun, my moon, my dream Only you could shatter everything I am the voice of your mocking bird My wounds, my kill, my grieving world
4.	A Time For Broken Things 03:55	lyrics
I hear whispers with every move Insisting that I’m no good Someone watches, they always do If not me, then it must be you A constant struggle for you and the earth The world knows nothing of your self worth Such a burden to place on a man To reach perfection whenever he can Nothing is lost, nobody wins, This a time for broken things. Nothing is lost, nobody wins, This a time for broken things. There are only the truth and his lies An evolution of self becoming ostracized Too much weight, i have failed in your eyes One last solution to leave me alive This is the end And we have nothing at all Nothing is lost, nobody wins, This a time for broken things. Nothing is lost, nobody wins, This a our time...
5.	Rancid Harmony 06:42	lyrics
In the dark I would Often think of you In deep cold shadow No words to say Gather sympathy like flowers Nailed on display for all to see You must tend to them every day Or they will wither as did you and me The words that made you sick The wounds you made me lick I drowned them in the sea Black thoughts and rancid harmony Speech will fail you when needed most All I hear are crows of the carrion kind Seclude yourself within walls of throat And stare through holes in your side Time moves on, you will Fall He is with me and all will be torn Time undone; we will accomplish You will see, you too will fall
6.	Promises and Parasites 06:28	lyrics
The stench of your touch on my skin A violation of everything Clawing at the words that you speak Are these reflections of you or me? I am a plague pouring over us both Yet i become infected by guilt Your eyes show me the times i failed A fist that brings such grace and adulation Failures; i wanted to burn Loathing; i want you to learn I was so slow to react It was a change in emotion An overwhelming urge to enact The final phase of devotion A symptomatic age coming back Craving for the end of our lies The vows on the wall begin to crack I can’t believe i called you mine You brought me nothing And you took everything Failures; i wanted to burn Loathing; i want you to learn

about

“Wolves and the Hideous White is an evolution from the debut album, and transcended from misery into disgust. I have continued to explore human emotions, and as always, our music is inspired by what I see in the world that surrounds me. We live in an age where people have become detached from each other, but the inherent craving to be with someone is overwhelming. As a species we are programmed to search for a mate, and the majority will sacrifice anything to get it; including themselves.”

“This album came together quite quickly, and was created with extremely focused efforts. The music, lyrics, and content reflects this with a more venomous edge than what came before.”

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellripper

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae

one of the best death doom bands so far. great melodies with great atmospheres. mostly slow, heavy and doomy but sometimes there are these groovy double-bass drum moments wich are pretty fucking cool. if you like death doom and melodic atmospheric black metal, this is for you. Sælzer Bub
