“Like a multi-headed monster, in this split Crawl is going to show another face and other skills, the latter likely influenced by one of the bands where Eric Crowe militates, the drone-doom metal band Fulci. Hence “Rise Feast”, the over 18-minutes long suite provided by Crawl, is a slow, viscous, painful vortex of plodding mind-numbing heaviness, a sequence of slow-paced monolithic riffs able to almost extinguish any physical and inner light, like hearing Horse Latitude jamming with SunnO))). If Crawl’s style in the demo had been depicted as “destructo-sludge” in some webzines, well, be aware that in this split Crawl is going to entertain you with their “destructo-drone”!”

— Marilena Moroni, Doommantia

“There have been a few bands called Crawl over the years, but this one formed in Atlanta, in spring 2012. Most of what I hear coming out of Georgia nowadays is rather fuzzy and stonery; it’s clear these guys draw from SOME of the same influences as their fellow statesmen, but they also incorporate some darker elements of west coast doom and the weightiness of gulf coast sludge, for an amalgam that’s definitely worth checking out... ...“Freedom at Dawn” is the track that most caught my attention — starting out with an up-tempo, punky, crossover-thrash sort of vibe in the drums, the band suddenly switches to a bass-heavy sludgefest, and then back. Never did I think a single song could remind me so much of Broken Bones and Crowbar, but to make the transition so seamlessly!”

— Valley of Steel, Valley of Steel

“Crawl, a three piece band from Atlanta GA, they opened up with a sample over the PA system then they came on hard and strong. The singer opened his mouth into a raspy grinding scream and we were off again with a very mobile bass player and animated group of guys in general.”

— Wylde Bill Jackey, R/N/Z Magazine

“CRAWL is more insidious than straight and raw, more into bulldozing sub frequencies that can leave corporal damages to non initiated people ! A strange and droning mix of influences ranging from Neurosis to The Melvins... This is a nice song but I'm surprised that this is a long instrumental and sounds very different from their demo stuff which had a great southern tone with filthy vocals and pure sludge crudeness, amazingly mixed all together with short and striking songs (Buzzov*en being then another clear influence...). That's a bit disconcerting to wonder if this is the same band that you're listening to between their demo and this new song !”

— Steph LS, Temple of Perdition

“Crawl are newcomers from Atlanta, GA. And when I say "new" I mean they've been in other bands, but they just played their first show at the end of November. You wouldn't know it from their playing though, as these guys kick ass. Sonically, they hit you like a vat of warm gravy. Their sound oozes over you and you love every goopy minute of it. Eric Crowe's guitar sounds like chewing gravel, and Tyler's bass playing is the asphalt chaser, all while keeping the molasses-choked groove alive. ”

— Court Reese, Nashvile Music

“The first demo, released in October, was a promising appetizer of Southern sludge displaying a palpable Buzzov*en influence, but for this release they show us quite another side. The 18-minute “Rise. Feast.” is a bleak drone doom ritual aimed more at Sunn O))) worshippers. It’s a gutsy move for a new band, as such a minimalist style can be hard to pull off engagingly, but the bet pays off.”

— Charles Douglas Hoffman, The Bone Reader

“...think Weedeater having a whiskey and crack evening with Tony Iommi and you’re not even close! Slow and enjoyably fast in the same song, they have really come together on this release, a notable progression since their initial forays.... ...This eponymous slab of doom is buzzing with low frequency mischief and it shoots right up to the higher reaches of Rip It Up’s releases of the year... ...There are, it has to be said, far too many bands out there unwilling to get a bit of dirt under their fingernails, and frankly this is the aural equivalent of an evening of the strongest pale ale and the hottest curry you can imagine – searingly good stuff, boys. Play this loud, right now!”

— Rip It Up, Rip It Up Webzine

“Crawl: Solid Southern Sludge A recent discovery has been a band that hails from Douglasville, Georgia and who go by the name of Crawl. Only formed this spring, the band comprises Eric Crowe on guitar[of FULCI and ex-Social Infestation, Molehill & Hog Mountin], John Holloway on bass [Of Legend] and Tommy Butler on drums. This three-piece like to play heavy, downtuned southern rock with gusto. Not yet in possession of any releases, you’ll have to check out these two tracks from Soundcloud and make your own mind up, but early signs sound promising.”

— Rip It Up, Rip It Up Zine
