Post-Metal/Doom Project Crawl Below have released the official video for "Monument," a track from forthcoming album 9 Mile Square.
Started in 2017, Crawl Below is Charlie Sad Eyes’ (When The Deadbolt Breaks, Sentinel Hill, Holding On To Nothing, and Banth) one-man project focused on his New England origins. Releases have ranged from punk-tinged black metal to Lovecraftian acoustic folk. The forthcoming release, 9 Mile Square, is based on the history and legends of Norwich, Connecticut, expressed through post-metal. Crawl Below is not limited in style and expresses its surroundings in a multitude of genres, changing from album to album.
9 Mile Square, a six-song LP of doom-infused post-metal focused on the history of Eastern Connecticut, will be released on February 12. Pre-orders available at: crawlbelow.bandcamp.com/album/9-mile-square
