Contagium - Archaic

Contagium launch themselves into the fray like a bull triceratops slamming into the gut of a rabid tyrannasaurus rex! Their charging pace keeps them limber while they deliver blistering metallic riffs and ghastly vocals. This shit's raw, now not intentionally 'raw' to the point of being unlistenable (like some bands that will not be named). This stuff really brings out that 'stenchcore' vibe and takes everything to the next level. You can hear all the influences; punk-era Neurosis, Amebix, Doom, Nausea and Stormcrow but you really get a nice treat when you dig deeper to hear that this band isn't about imitating the obvious (a trait that seems to be plaguing crust as of late). They definitely have their own vibe and deliver it in spectacular, scabby fashion.

This is battle music.

STANK


For Fans Of: Skaven, Stormcrow, Mammoth Grinder, Masakari and Mass Grave

Stormcrow

Another discography post? You must be off your fucking rocker kid! Well, it's fucking Stormcrow so sit back and shut your mouth before the stench settles on your teeth.

Let's all be honest, what the fuck is stenchcore? I don't know and to be honest, I don't care but if it's what Stormcrow sounds like I'm all in. Stormcrow add a lot of metallic elements to their music and bring it all together in a very nice package. There's some doom, some thrash, some sludge, some death; it's all there with that crust perforating its battle-hardened backbone. Sadly they're no longer playing together.

Enslaved in Darkness

Stormcrow/Sanctum Split

Stormcrow/Skaven Split

Stormcrow/MassGrave Split

"Sacred Death" Stormcrow/Laudanum Split

Stormcrow/Coffins Split

The highlights include "Enslaved in Darkness", their split with Skaven and their split with Coffins. It's all good but these are the ones that get continuous play from me.

Mass Grave/Stormcrow Split

Another Stormcrow post. Also this is my first mention of one of the best Crustgrind bands on the move today: Mass Grave. These dudes absolutely melt face with their filthy concoction of devastating death metal-infused Crustgrind. As for the Stormcrow side of this split, you guessed it! It's fucking awesome.

GET YA DICK SPLIT

Stormcrow/Coffins Split

When it comes to disgusting death/doom there is no topping Coffins as they reign supreme with monolithic riffs and a absolutely savage tone. As for Stormcrow, their wholesome homebrew of death metal, crust, doom and sludge will shake any skyscraper loose from its foundation. This split is a combination of some of the heaviest music being produced today. Stormcrow's single epic track 'Path To Defeat' will split your molars while the remaining Coffins song will devour your mangled corpse. Absolutely essential for your collection.
