Temple Of Void - The Crawl (CD)

Fakta Critically acclaimed Death Metal force TEMPLE OF VOID return with their new album, The Crawl. The caveman brawn of previous albums, namely Summoning the Slayer (2022), remains, but there’s a wider dynamic on the group’s fifth full-length album at play. Now a Quartet the Michiganders aren’t shying away from their non-metal influences, seeking greater integration of grunge and post-punk with their brutish signature. Singles “The Crawl" and “Soulburn" demonstrate the proficiency of TEMPLE OF VOID's death-cloaked, spearheaded attack.  From the high intensity of opener “Poison Icon" to the granite wall of “The Twin Stranger," The Crawl isn’t just TEMPLE OF VOID evolved, it’s a harbinger of death metal to come.
