THE CRAWLING - All Of This For Nothing Out Now

Today, Northern Irish melancholic death/doom metal outfit The Crawling released its third full-length, All Of This For Nothing, through Grindscene Records.

The new album explores the human desire to be accepted, fit in, to be part of perceived normality; despite the reality that nothing matters due to the finite nature of existence. The album also looks at the consequence of said actions, and the accountability culture is assisting in removing them. The cover artwork was created by Travis Smith, perfectly capturing the essence of the album.

Vocalist/guitarist Andy Clarke comments: "Life is hard, very hard, at times almost impossible. I see more and more people make their lives so difficult with continued efforts to conform, fit in with societal cultures and expectations from so-called peers. This is rarely effective and often results in further misery and unhappiness. The album looks at various iterations of this concept, along with the dreadful outcomes. The lyrics explore the lack of personal accountability in life, and the ultimate realisation none of the inane aspects matter, as life is finite ... and you only get one go. Life is a journey through a bleak, cold, harsh reality ... that ends in a void of nothingness".

Formed in the winter of 2014 in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, The Crawling uses a guttural vocal to combine melancholy with weight, churning out a heavy, doom/death ensemble. January 2015 saw the single "Choking On Concrete", followed in October by the highly successful EP, In Light Of Dark Days.

In April 2017, the debut album, Anatomy Of Loss, was released, receiving excellent reviews worldwide. 2018 was the year of Wolves And The Hideous White - featuring six tracks, and again receiving excellent reviews and responses from the media.

And, from today on - All Of This For Nothing... Link
