Warcrab are a band from the United Kingdom that has been featured before in this zine and plays a mixture of sludge, doom and death metal and this is a review of their 2019 album "Damned In Endless Night" which will be released in August by Transcending Obscurity Records.
Clean playing starts off the album before going into a heavier direction which also introduces melodic guitar leads onto the recording. The riffs also add in a decent amount of melody along with the slower sections of the songs being very heavily rooted in sludge and doom metal.
Vocals are mostly sludge style screams while the music also brings in a great amount of death metal elements as well as utilizing growls at times. A couple of the tracks are very long and epic in length along with some of the music also showing some 70's rock/metal influences and as the album progresses a small amount of crust and d beat elements can be heard and all of the songs stick to either a slow or mid tempo direction, the album also closes with an instrumental.
On this recording Warcrab remains true to their mixture of sludge, doom and death metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover war, death, nihilism and apocalyptic themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Warcrab and if you are a fan of sludge, doom and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Halo Of Flies" "Abyssal Mausoleum" "Kraken Arise" and "Swords". 8 out of 10.
