Wolves and the Hideous White

As the one-year anniversary of their sophomore album Wolves and the Hideous White draws near, Northern Ireland’s THE CRAWLING is preparing a special cassette release of the album. Says the band,

“The album is approaching one-year-old, we have a hometown show coming up, and wanted to do something special. We don’t do as many Belfast gigs as we used to, so it’s always cool to add something, to make it an ‘event’ of sorts. We’re from the era of cassettes, Walkman and tape trading, so we thought we would release a limited edition cassette version of the album. It’s proper old school, single J card, black tape with on body printing. It looks absolutely brilliant, and it was cool to re-visit the artwork and adjust for the new format. It’s for a limited listening audience of course, but people have already expressed an interest from a collector’s point of view as well. We’re super excited to release it!”

The release show will be at The Limelight in Belfast on Saturday, October 19th with support from Stahlsarg, Strangle Wire, and Nomadus.

THE CRAWLING are a doom/death metal act from the concrete maze of Northern Ireland. The band has just released a video for their song “Still No Sun”. The song is from their album Wolves and the Hideous White which was released last year.

The band commented “The urge to belong can be overwhelming, and we often sacrifice parts of ourselves to be with others. Still No Sun explores the failing of relations through the eyes of one who knows it should end, despite the desperate urge to remain. The unearthing feelings of loneliness, and haunting images of a life in solitude can be blinding when it comes to logical thought. I often wonder if it is genuinely possible to deceive yourself completely, or is there always a part that knows, and is the relief of seperation worth it?”
