Crocell – Relics

Thomas Nielsen — Sun, 22 Apr 2018 19:59:13 +0000

Ten years and still going strong. Stronger than ever, to be more precise. Crocell celebrated their tenth anniversary year, 2017, by recording their fifth album, Relics. Contrary to what the title suggests, there’s no sign that the band is aging. This one is darker and faster than any of its predecessors.

Where the Danish quartet focused more on melodic death with a tendency toward the epic mid-tempo songs in the past, the pendulum has swung in the general direction of black metal or at least blackened death – without losing the huge, melodic razor riffs.
There are now exactly two songs, Last Dawn Duet and World at Its End, were the tempo has been taken down from full throttle – and the latter even with an acoustic guitar intro. The rest of the album hammers away in a stately and masterful manner.

In my humble view, Crocell cement their position as one of Denmark stalwart metal bands with this album. The Aarhus band manage to place themselves firmly between the death and black camps and deliver an outstanding quality of music.

Relics is brutal, dark and fast and so fookin’ metal. Check it out.

Referencing both early Crocell artwork and more than one cult film, the nightmarish music video was shot and edited by Lasse Frisk from Frisk Film and consists of close to 15.000 still photos.

Crocell drummer Andreas Posselt comments:

“We were searching for a video producer when we came across Lasse, who wanted to try out some more grotesque and gory ideas compared to the work he had previously done with renowned Danish hiphop artists such as Per Vers and Ham Den Lange. After having discussed a few ideas with him, we decided to just let him loose – and this was what he came up with at the first go. It is exactly what we wanted and a perfect companion to both the music and lyrics!”
