CROWNING ‘Survival/Sickness‘ tape (ZB235)

For fans of: Carrion Spring, Furnace and Leveless

Boasting members of Itto, Frail Body, Ikaray and Pregnancy Pact, Chicago’s most hospitable local band is finally dropping an LP…or mini-LP…or whatever. Thing is, it’s fucking incredible. Started in 2018, the songs are devoid of filler and instead refined and cut to a staggering degree of potency, with no better place to start than the crushing opener “Caldera”. Falling somewhere between riffy hardcore and screamo/metalcore, my good friends have crafted a truly brilliant piece of art. Speaking of, art by Vanessa Valadez and layout by Dave Cullen. Noise samples by Justin. Mustache by Lowell. Vocal warm-up rehearsal is all James. The 12”s come on assorted color vinyl, some with swirls, and the very coveted 25 wax mages, all with an insert and sticker. Cassettes have two runs, including swirled, opaque and halfsies.

12” vinyl /225, 200 on random color and 25 wax mage. 1st run of Cassettes /75, 45 dead gull swirl, 25 bone and 5 test dips.2nd run of Cassettes /57, 25 Miami Tiger swirl, 15 Ocean Trash swirl, 10 Ocean Tiger halfsies swirl, and 7 test dips (band/label only).Download code included. 8 songs.

“Is it really worth starting over? Is survival a sickness?” Chicago five-piece Crowning continue to twist the sickening coil of overdriven emoviolence, steely post-hardcore, and dystopian vision that has become their signature weapon since 2017’s Funeral Designs. “Survival/Sickness” is the first full-length from the band, but the barely 18 minutes tear by in an instant, a panicking rampage of paranoia, prescience, and pummeling mid-range cruelty. A record about relationships defined and constructed by violence and power, “Survival/Sickness” is a testament to the conditions that willed it to be. Ferocity, isolation, and wrath - “blood, and brine.” This is a record for us, not them.

Mixed and mastered by Pete Grossmann at Bricktop Recording.

Crowning is: Dave / Justin / Vanessa / James / Lowell

In terms of darkness and extremity we have reached a point here. There is a lot going on during this record but the theme of just utter fucking ugliness permeates. Beautifully grotesque. Great record. popcornpoopturd
