Crown Of Bone / Law Of The Rope

Another entry in Crucial Blast’s Infernal Machines cassette series, this split features the fearsome black noise of Crown of Bone paired with the secretive California black metal group Law of the Rope. As with the other new Crown of Bone split tape with Utarm, this features cover art created by Mories (Gnaw Their Tongues, Aderlating) and is limited to 200 professionally manufactured copies. 
First up is Law of the Rope with four songs of black metal chaos and putrescent Abruptum-esque noise. The band’s primitive, psychedelic blasts are strictly for those with a taste for lo-fi weirdness, but are recommended listening to fans of early Fleurety, Abruptum, Funereal Moon and Emit. 
Crown of Bone counters with four tracks of violent black noise, each delivering a focused blast of brutal distortion and swarming static shot through with monstrous roaring vocals and wraith-like shrieks. There’s no end or beginning to these pieces; they swarm together as one epic-length furnace-blast of death-obsessed noise.
