Damned LP

Everything slows to a drag on Damned, roughly the ninth release in about twelve years from Crawl, the one-man blackened dungeon doom project San Antonio's Michael A. Engle has run solo since 2011, playing every vocal, drum, bass and sample part himself. M.S.W. of Hell recorded it at Sub Odin Studios, and B. Tiffin of Haunter mixed it. The record pushes further into funeral doom and drone, trading Engle's earlier sludge and noise-rock edges for something heavier and slower.
