| | Description: | Danish death/black metal force CROCELL return with their seventh full-length album, "Swarm Of Insects". Marking nearly two decades of the band?s existence, "Swarm of Insects" picks up where 2024?s "Of Frost, of Flame, of Flesh" left off, delivering a fierce yet nuanced blend of brutality and melody in classic Crocell fashion, while pushing into new creative territory.
"Swarm Of Insects" is the first album written with guitarist Mads Bertram following the departure of Rasmus "Hexen" 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: "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".
- "Swarm Of Insects" is a CD release by Danish death metal band Crocell, issued by Target Records. The album delivers a relentless blend of aggressive riffing, dark atmospheres and powerful, driving rhythms that showcase the band's take on intense, Scandinavian-style extreme metal. Across the tracks, Crocell combine tight, churning guitar work with harsh vocals and a dense, pounding rhythm section, creating a sound that is both crushing and surprisingly dynamic. The songwriting focuses on heavy, memorable riffs and shifting tempos, moving from mid-paced, ominous passages to high-speed outbursts that will appeal to fans of classic and modern death metal alike. Lyrically and atmospherically, "Swarm Of Insects" evokes images of decay, darkness and looming catastrophe, underlined by a raw, organic production that keeps the music direct and impactful without sounding over-polished.
As an audio format, this CD is suitable for listeners who appreciate a physical edition with full sound dynamics, allowing the layered guitars and thunderous drums to unfold properly on a good stereo system. "Swarm Of Insects" fits well into a collection focused on European extreme metal, and serves as a strong statement of Crocell's musical identity--uncompromising, riff-driven and firmly rooted in the traditions of the genre while still sounding fresh and energetic.
Crocell are known as part of the Danish extreme metal scene, building their reputation with a series of heavy, tightly written albums and intense live performances. Over the years, they have developed a solid underground following, particularly among listeners who value a straightforward, unpretentious approach to death metal with a dark, atmospheric edge. Their work has been noticed in the metal press for its consistency, powerful guitar work and the band's ability to write songs that remain memorable despite their brutality.
Target Records is an independent Danish label that has specialized in rock and metal releases, helping to develop and promote both established and emerging artists within the scene. Known for supporting bands with strong artistic identities, Target Records has earned a reputation as a reliable platform for high-quality, heavy music from Scandinavia and beyond. With "Swarm Of Insects," the label once again demonstrates its focus on authentic, uncompromising metal productions that aim directly at dedicated genre fans. | | | Cover: |
