Get your disgusting butt-flaps ready, because here's some hip new Norwegian jamz from Summon the Crows, who basically take a bunch of Slayer-isms and drag them through an Amebix show at CBGB's circa 1985. Without getting too wordy, go ahead and picture a beefy metalcrust band that sounds a lot like Trap Them, Black Breath, and Jeff Hanneman dumpster-diving for bagels behind a vegan Co-op. Now, people seem to be throwing the word "blackened" at this (and everything else lately) but this hardly saddles up next to your Striborg CD's and fits right in, you know what I mean?
While good for what it is, One More For The Gallows isn't what I'd call a "game-changer." Maybe I've been listening to too much grind and retard slam, but it actually comes off quite a bit 'lighter' than I anticipated, as the velocity is fairly mid-tempo and some of the rhythms occasionally sound a bit stale. Still, I'm sure devoted fans of d-beat crust and day-old Krispy Kremes would be happy to take a stroll through the gutter with this one.
