Crucifier – Led Astray CD

Crucifier – 'Led Astray' CD

Digipak CD edition

New 2024 album from one of the longest-running entities in the American underground, CRUCIFIER was formed in 1990 and they have kept consistent to their blasphemous, blackened death metal style steeped in the truly ancient and most underground ways. 'Led Astray' is a masterclass in memorable, METAL riffing and twisted rhythmic thrust. As is their signature, CRUCIFIER sound positively primal here but never primitive; while these nine screeds of blasphemy might confuse or insult normcore listeners, there's an extremely considered & calculated delirium behind their blackened devilry. As such, the "tight looseness" that's characterized CRUCIFIER's work to date gets sharpened to an enviable degree as these nine labyrinths surge and storm with a paradoxical / perverse sense of class.
