Right here is the eighth studio LP from Grand Rapids, Michigan rapper, singer/songwriter, producer & Dirtcore Music founder Crossworm. Beginning as 1/2 of 2Korpse earlier than branching out on his personal for the full-length solo debut Phoenix, this was adopted up by a sophomore LP Able to Burn alongside 2 EPs Mouth Filled with Filth & jaws: Deciduous respectively. Taking a couple of years off after the latter, he returned in the summertime of 2014 by dropping 4 extra albums: Parasite Avenue, Drowning in Limiting Thought, Discovering X & Eat the Weak. I’ve coated each ANTI & the eponymous Our bodies Beneath Sea Degree debut, dropping Cruelty a month after each Dirtwave & Shelter Skelter.
The primary music “We Rise, They Fall” after the “Dwell, Chuckle, Lobotomy” intro was an industrial rock opener singing about how each single one in every of us needs to be standing tall whereas “You Fucking Mendacity Bitch” by Our bodies Beneath Sea Degree will get again on the economic horrorcore sound of their self-titled effort final fall. “Warning” maintains the vibes of the earlier monitor besides Crossworm’s doing the MCing all by himself till “Bully” by Our bodies Beneath Sea Degree lets out some overcrowded angst they’ll’t maintain in anymore.
“Liquify My Dick & Drink It” hops over an industrial beat for 50 second pleading to be left alone together with his peace beneath the chilly filth subtly referencing The Beneath the Filth Podcast wherein the Dirtcore CEO produced it’s theme music, however then “Get the Fuck Off My Garden” that includes Madd Maxxx industrially unites the two to allow them to repeat the identical shit till they’re unsuitable. After the “What Do You Do?” interlude, “You’re Useless to Me” sings over synthesizers with the lyrics airing out some grievances he has main into the “Susceptible” interlude AND the “Ineffective Entitled Cripple” interlude.
Issues get minimal for “It’s All My Fault” meshing pianos & an acoustic guitar taking some accountability for himself whereas “Shatter” that includes J. Reno finds the two speaking about their squad leaving everybody behind in mud. “Some Name Me the Satan” continued the economic horrorcore hybrids acknowledging some evaluating him to Devil whereas “I Nonetheless Hate” experiments with nu metallic feeling loathsome. Lastly, “I Have My Causes” closes Cruelty with a melodic increase bap joint recalling when he used to really feel oblivious.
Eat the Weak was thought of to be essentially the most aggressive entry in Crossworm’s complete complete solo profession up till this level & over 2 many years since Phoenix, he’s taken it to a different degree on Cruelty. His manufacturing appears like a mixture of all of the sounds he’s employed in the course of the course of his profession from horrorcore to industrial music, nu metallic, industrial rock & increase bap bringing half of the artists he’s already signed to his more and more standard underground hip hop label on board balancing his rapping talents together with his singing chops evenly.
