The band comment: “Shrine of Sacrifice” is about a cult living in a remote forest who worship ancient deities and provide them with human sacrifices in order to live an eternal life. The Latin phrase used, “mors tua, vita mea” translates to ‘your death, my life’. This track’s lyrics were loosely inspired by the 2017 film The Ritual. The main riff in this song was also written by our drummer Lewis, which was his first time bringing riffs to the band.”
Conjuring an old school sound together with a modern approach, Crypt Crawler has been carving their path since forming in 2018. Unleashing a relentless assault of neck snapping riffs, blistering solos, technical drums and an undeniable sense of melody, they quickly cemented their place in the Australian extreme metal scene. The release of their debut album, To The Grave in 2019 showcased their mastery of the genre, incorporating elements of old school death metal with modern nuances. It was followed up in 2020 with the release of the Blood Sustenance EP which further showcased their ability to craft catchy hooks and merciless riffs. 2021’s offering, Future Usurper, showed the bands’ musical maturity and songwriting prowess, delving into more intricate and progressive arrangements, while maintaining their signature brand of death metal. Now in 2024, Crypt Crawler are pushing the envelope even further with The Immortal Realm. Sharper riffs, heavier harmonies and a wall of sound that’s been sorely missing in modern death metal.
Crypt Crawler’s blistering live performances have earned them opportunities to support acclaimed acts including US death metal kings Obituary, Gatecreeper and Skeletal Remains, as well as playing Hammersonic 2024, the biggest heavy music festival in Southeast Asia. This October sees them opening for US death metal titans Nile when they come through Perth.
