Editorial Reviews

The first Black Metal Attack. Craft's amazing debut available in North America for the first time! Cult Swedish Devilish Propaganda to hold you over until the highly anticipated third attack summer 2005!

"Void-dwelling/creating nihilism dusted over by an individualist spirit so crucial to yet so often lost in black metal..." -Birk/MANIACS

5.0 out of 5 stars Deepest evil, March 17, 2005

This review is from: Total Soul Rape (Audio CD)

This is pure misanthropic black metal, born from Darkthrone and Mayhem and pushed to the new millenium. This has got to be the most evil and blackened and hatefull thing I have heard in a while, Craft really put themselves at the top of the black metal scene today. This black metal sounds like a combination of sludgey, Panzerfaust Darkthrone and also early bone chilling sounds like on A Blaze in the Northern Sky. This is the first Swedish black metal bands I have heard that doesn't sound anything like Marduk and that's a very good thing, because I was getting sick of that melodic Swedish sound.
This is pure blackened evil and is suggested to all you dark souls.

This review is from: Total Soul Rape (Audio CD)

This has got to be one of the best black metal releases by Moribund Records. This is total, annihilating black metal of the highest order with absolutely no compromises, no melodies, no female singing and no keyboards. It's just pure, horrific in-your-face black metal that hasn't forgotten its roots. Craft is from Sweden, and their music brings to mind the raw compositions of Arckanum and the macabreistic atmospheres of Abruptum, who are also Swedish, while bringing to life the spirit of the early `90s Norwegian pioneers, namely Darkthrone. Is this a bad thing? Not at all, if most black metal bands knew where they stand they never would have evolved into pointless electronic pop acts, like it has happened with many bands. Craft is simply being passed the torch and I can only see them getting stronger and developing into a force to be reckoned with. The essence of Craft's music is awe-inspiring, their vision is black and white (and that includes the CD booklet!) and their hateful hymns are some of the most punishing ones I've heard in a while. Don't be afraid...be frightened of releases like this.

Craft is a black metal band that truly stays true and Total Soul Rape proves it. The dark, chilling atmosphere of buzz saw guitars mixed with the awful screams, and howls defines black metal. This CD is pure blasphmey, this is TRUE black metal!!!
