That is the 4th EP from Grand Rapids, Michigan rapper, singer/songwriter, producer & Dirtcore Music founder Crossworm. Beginning as 1/2 of 2Korpse earlier than branching out on his personal for the full-length solo debut Phoenix, this was adopted up by a sophomore LP Able to Burn alongside 2 EPs Mouth Filled with Dust & jaws: Deciduous respectively. Taking a number of years off after the latter, he returned in the summertime of 2014 by dropping 4 extra albums: Parasite Avenue, Drowning in Limiting Thought, Discovering X & Eat the Weak. I’ve coated each ANTI & the eponymous Our bodies Under Sea Stage debut, dropping off not 1 however 2 EPs this month.
“Dropping You” kicks off the Dirtwave with a synth-pop intro singing about needing & eager to do away with any person to no avail whereas “Meet Me at My Grave” works in a guitar pattern & synthesizers explaining that every little thing they wouldn’t dare say being in the midst of them. “Watch Us Die” that includes THE H0LL0W goes for a summer time vibe advising to sit down again & watch their demise whereas “Out in House” is one other nice synth-pop reduce. “Drown Me” that includes Grounds will get heavier asking to be drowned in the event that they change into weak & “Past the Grave” finishes by throwing it again to late 2000s/early 2010s-era LINKIN PARK.
Fairly positive that we had been gonna get Shelter Skelter earlier than Dirtwave since that was initially teased a month in the past, however I’m nice with it being held off for a pair weeks for a 19 minute EP that recaptures the Depeche Mode influences prominently displayed all through ANTI a yr & a half in the past as a heat as much as Shelter Skelter because it’s extra based mostly round industrial & witch home music. His singing feels reminiscent to the late Chester Bennington at instances, each remixes take their unique variations to larger ranges of high quality & Crossworm’s versatility continues to increase additional.
