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
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
The Crawling Lisburn, UK
The music created by The Crawling is a result of a trio of music fans that have enjoyed, and participated, in the local

Damn, how could i miss this one for so long? Amazing Death/Doom album. Haunting melodies, epic riffs, outstanding vocals and killer drums! The Radiant Dark is perfect in every way. A beautiful and emotional masterpiece!

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.

I bought the digital version and after a few listens I realised I hadn't paid enough, so I bought the CD from Transcending Obscurity. Effing great.

Cinereous Incarnate
by AbstracterA foreboding black-doom metal dirge, meditating on a dark world caked in ash, resulting from all the Earth’s nuclear arsenal detonating at once.

Tomb Absolute
by NEGATIVE VORTEXAn ambitious, yet tightly executed, death metal debut that trades in crushing riffs, funereal effects, and even the odd Shakespeare quote.

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellrippersupported by 20 fans who also own “Promises and Parasites”
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.
