Marking nearly two decades of the band\u2019s existence, \u201cSwarm of Insects\u201d picks up where 2024\u2019s \u201cOf Frost, of Flame, of Flesh\u201d left off, delivering a fierce yet nuanced blend of brutality and melody in classic Crocell fashion, while pushing into new creative territory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSwarm Of Insects\u201d is the first album written with guitarist Mads Bertram following the departure of Rasmus \u201cHexen\u201d Henriksen (RIP) in 2023. The record sees the band refining their signature sound while allowing fresh ideas to emerge, resulting in a work that feels both rooted and reinvigorated. And, for the first time in their career, Crocell recorded the entire album themselves. Drummer Andreas Posselt comments: \u201c<em>We have recorded vocals, bass or guitar on our own on some previous albums, but this time we wanted to take on the drums as well. It is undeniably more extensive, but we received great advice from Lasse, and it was a welcome challenge that gave us maximum freedom and control<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The final mix and mastering were handled by Lasse at Ballade Studios (known for work with Afsky, Strychnos, Konvent and Sl\u00e6gt), resulting in a production that is both violent, vivid and razor-sharp. Vocalist Asbj\u00f8rn Steffensen elaborates: \u201c<em>There was a red thread from the first raw demos through pre-production to the final recording. Along the way we adjusted song structures and details in the individual instruments, while also experimenting with the overall sound and various effects. Early in the process we already felt we were working directly with the finished product, and at the same time it was easier to carry spontaneous and imperfect ideas from the creative phase into the final result<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>From the towering opening track \u201cSarcophagus\u201d, through the furious sonic assaults of \u201cTraitors&#8217; Blood\u201d, to the atmospheric and ominous closer \u201cVolcano\u201d, \u201cSwarm of Insects\u201d offers dark music for dark times. The lyrics explore tyranny, oppression, betrayal and demagoguery &#8211; mirrored in the unsettling artwork by NNart, which seems to pull the viewer straight into the abyss. The album title evokes images of biblical plagues, but may just as well reflect a humanity blindly swarming and feeding on whatever scraps are thrown its way.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly 20 years after their formation, Crocell deliver with \u201cSwarm Of Insects\u201d an acid-etched and uncompromising slab of death\/black metal of the highest caliber; an album that will undoubtedly resonate with both longtime followers and new listeners alike.<\/p>\n<p>Tracklist:<br \/>\nA1.
