Stonecreep – The Deathmarch Crushes On
Genre: Heavy Metal, Thrash, Groove
Label: Self-Released
Having been a substantial fan of a gift EP entitled We Bleed Disaster, I was practically drooling at the arrival of Stonecreep’s latest effort, The Death March Crushes On. Will it live up to the ridiculously high expectations I set up for it? Only the next few lines of mediocre reviewing will tell…
The Deathmarch Crushes On is the second full-length album from this Portland, Oregon based act and does everything it can to make you forget about everything else in their catalog! Heavy, frantic riffs are scattered about TDCO in equal parts awesome and badass, while the blasty drum work speed along at about a billion light-leagues per second! Vocally, Matt Litton jumps from half-clean singing, to gravelly growling, to deathly bellows, all within the same tune. You’d think that that would be a little much, but no. It’s not. I promise you, it’s just right!
Overall: Living up to my expectations, The Deathmarch Crushes On is a exercise is speed, melody and neck-wreckature! A classic entry for fans of old school heavy metal or anything that will annoy the piss out of your neighbors at three o’clock in the morning.
8.5/10
