Cripper – Follow Me: Kill!
The conclusion that we must come to is that there is a new genre, just simply called Cripper.

A creeping horror roams throughout your psyche as you listen.
The album starts with some incredibly filthy blackened death metal with vicious guitar riffs, blasting, and yeti growl vocals, then drifts into ambient noise, including samples on one track.
They are carving a niche on the same progressive back metal mountain that Oranssi Pazuzu and Cormorant make their home, a place both rugged and majestic, and a place richly deserved by this project.
The Word As Law is an existential romp through my teens and early 20’s.
…both tracks are excellent examples of ways to approach modern black metal with a throw back attitude.
The overall effect of this relatively brief release is devastation.
This album is anything but boring, with the many tempo changes, and raw energy, it’s absolutely punishing.
To The Concrete Drifts, much like all of the work by Detroit based Fell Ruin, is a complex and difficult album.
