What’s that? Your taint was insufficiently demolished by our last\u00a0Transcending Obscurity<\/strong> contest<\/a>? Then allow me to introduce you to the heaviest crustacean this side of the Pacific<\/a>.\u00a0Warcrab<\/strong>‘s the name, big ol’ pincer doom riffs is the game.

Get in here to find out how to win it.<\/p>\n
If you take a gander at the shelled ones’ Bandcamp page<\/a>, you’ll find the label has categorized them as a Death\/Sludge\u00a0Monstrosity<\/em>. That’s more than just cheeky hyperbole.\u00a0Scars of Aeons<\/em> is jam packed with killer death and doom riffs, the kind that will tear off your trigger finger and leave you bleeding out on a beach, waiting for the tides of murky sludge to carry you out to a watery grave. “In the Shadow of Grief” is a particularly rad track, one where the vice-like riffs are matched in ferocity by an undeniable double-bass gallop and a NOLA sludge-caked solo sure to leave you choking on blood and bile. Simply put, this album\u00a0slaps<\/em>, and it’s sure to satisfy fans of heavy-ass guitar jams.<\/p>\n
