tommesens Great new album. Every track has a very doomy atmosphere, the way I like it! Favorite track: Bound to the Negative.

Mysterioso This album nails it from the start. Bound to be Negative starts with the whisper of a threat and ends in violence and regret. Much like life. Left wanting more. Favorite track: Bound to the Negative.

Big T At last, I've been so looking forward to this coming out. now the wait begins again lol. stay miserable

DNAcorruption A fantastic album from a really good band, the crawling have my full support going forward. - I’m pretty blown away by this! 🤘🏻 Favorite track: Thy Nazarene.

The vinyl album is the "director's cut", feeaturing a different running order to enhance the vinyl experience; as somethin is always different when we listen to music on record. Enjoy the misery ...

1.	March of the Worm 05:57	lyrics	buy track
Hang yourself out to dry Your agony, with nothing to give We have shown you how to ameliorate Winding arms around your neck The march of the worm A sickening sight, the pale return You are a child, lost Emotions boil with disgust Scraped from your mothers breast I tenderly open her throat The march of the worm A sickening sight, the pale return Tear out their eyes, eviscerate the young Spawning deceit, the whore is speaking in tongues We are forever the mark of the worm A gaping mouth, until the filth returns Still she screams for him And cries manipulation Mouths that curl from all sides Glistening, like her blood on the floor The march of the worm A sickening sight, the pale return
2.	Another Vulture 07:26	lyrics	buy track
Brace for the cold Embrace her words like stones Can you remember the years she stole Grace for the year Embodied in all these fears So are we nothing without your name? Slivers of rotten sun Suffer delights my son Another Vulture Another Vulture Hang her from the tree so i can relish in the grief and deceit Hail me as your King and bow deep; soaked in the eyes of the weak Another Vulture
3.	Thy Nazarene 04:20	lyrics	buy track
This is the well of black parasites Tiny little secrets when I close my eyes He was the weakest in a world of white The taste of salt, as the truth spills out It’s not a thought dear .. it’s a demon Baptise your children Am i the worst you've ever been? Thy Nazarene As you tread on me; like dust, i rise How would you have me sir? I'll be ... Thy Nazarene A fear of living in the light I know he's waiting ... bowed head and shallow eyes Where is that boy? Who hides when he weeps Where is that boy? Whose lies I keep
4.	Bound to the Negative 08:12	lyrics	buy track
Failed, before our hopelessness These nails will bind you tight Our last goodbye Abandon wretchedness We gave our dreams, our memories, our lives And so we die Buried deep within, There’s a cruelty in the beast; you feed it sympathies Forlorn, and with everything gone Burn this mire Bound to the negative We are something you can never be Bound to the negative Swallow the pieces of our misery More vile than vile esteemed For nothing can bring you peace Where fathers failed us all; left us to rot
5.	Leaving the Skin 05:18	lyrics	buy track
Leaving this sick narcotic netherworld Everything you ever feared is alive, once more They circled all around, looked down, no sorrow, no loss. Leaving the skin under sign of demur If time could carry our weight Maybe we’ll last one more day Do you think that they'll remember? We left our skin in December Crippled vision, you can never see Inauguration of mydriasis, so cold They circled all around, looked down, no sorrow, no loss. Leaving the skin under sign of demur Try empathise? Awake Why sympathise? When we leave
6.	A Light We Cannot See 05:20	lyrics	buy track
Crushed by the weight of words Our world, the heretic The language, that language I no longer speak Nothing here to see; the tunnel closing in Is something wrong? I regret everything Is it truth you speak? All the light we cannot see If the vision turns bleak They have carried me the gallows Fear of no one to writhe, and no one to go So slowly we die down Searching for release Skin already through I regret everything No point in waiting, we know what to do There are no answers; we already knew A stain to cleanse; we leave these hours And regret everything
7.	Sparrow 06:17	lyrics	buy track
Unravelled in gore Simply wanted to be She came undone Beautiful to see Long red flare Strong red stream Skin like bleach And eyes for me I Sparrow Not ready to leave Yet knowing i can Come with me as one You know the way home Understand now Glare at my failures This rotting meat Smells like bleach I Sparrow Joy or sorrow? I simply can’t tell Engraved lies that seemed to please you well Continue to breathe, the blood that follows me down Take me sparrow, and take me now

about

This album is a journey that focuses on the realisation life is finite. Many aspects of life cause heartache, hardship and misery. The tracks here explore the reasons and rationale for putting ourselves through such things when eventually it will all end in a black void ... and all of this for nothing.

The artwork was created by Travis Smith (seempieces) and perfectly captures the music and its message.
