Dakhma – Suna Kulto
What the band certainly is not, is soft. They have all the intensity of a fully loaded freight train bearing down on you.

Interview with Andy Schoengrund of Feral Light
[I’m] just taking the Icy black metal parts a bit further and the melodic parts a bit further.
Cara Neir/Wildspeaker – Guilt and His Reflection
The final track on the album, His Reflection, is not only the best track on the album and the best work by Wildspeaker, but stands up well to any other crust track you care to name.
Sea of Bones/Ramlord – Split
The band plays a nasty blend of crust, hardcore punk, and black metal, creating a hybrid all their own. The sound is filthy, rotten, and drags you bodily into the void, caring nothing for scrapes and bruises inflicted on the way down.
Morrow – Covenant of Teeth
Morrow have captured pure emotion and used it to create a texture of love and pain, hope, forgiveness, and desperation, sorrow and strength.
Feral Light – A Sound of Moving Shields
Take past members of Wolvhammer, Empires, Manetheren, and Finger of Scorn. Stir until well blended. Mix in frosty Scandinavian black metal draughts of venom. Shake well. Sprinkle with British crusty gutter filth. Bake until bleak and urgent. Serve cold as death.
