about

The putrid Barbarian Swords are celebrating. Their first demo Crusaders Of The Apocalypse is ten years old, and they had to re-release it in a big way. Thus, the labels Negra Nit and Negre planY are editing Crusaders Of The Apocalypse – The Return, a double CD in digipack format containing that infectious recording, plus six unreleased tracks recorded at their rehearsal room, plus a show from 2014 at the now defunct Rocksound venue in Barcelona, also never before released.

It is worth noting the insufferable rawness of these songs, the atrocious and vile sound they present, and the violence with which they are executed, which has required a ‘cleaning’ and mastering by Javi Félez at Moontower Studios before releasing it. The amount of feedback and basses gathered here could literally damage the speakers of anyone enduring these almost two hours of hate, nihilism, excess, and putrefaction.

An artwork and layout by Woodcvtter Illustration, which is a re-reading of the original cover, tops off a luxurious artifact created especially for the loyal soldiers of this execrable Catalan band, which even features the first instrumental track they have ever perpetrated, or ‘Untitled II’, in which Von Päx lends the mic to the devastating gutturals of bassist Panzer!

These black doom maniacs are currently finalizing their next discographic steps, but they wouldn’t miss the opportunity to tarnish their curriculum even more with Crusaders Of The Apocalypse – The Return, a treacherous misdeed that shows us Barbarian Swords in their natural state: ripped, basic, noisy, noxious, and quarrelsome.

Sorrowful indeed. Utterly beautiful blackened doom metal with melody that draws out a cathartic release. Its works like these that have me believe what Schopenhauer said about music was true, that it speaks truth to what is at our most core. Camelus Dromedarius

Swamp Witch - The Slithering Bog
by Swamp Witch

supported by 7 fans who also own “Crusaders Of The Apocalypse - The Return”

Murky, bottom-heavy doomy metal that sucks you in and swallows you up. I love how the album moves from swamp as metaphor for the self-delusions that hold us back to bogs and the ancient remains they conceal within as pathways to deeper, terrifying spiritual awakenings that reveal the primeval horrors that lurk just at the edges of our consciousness.
