Creepoid – Cemetery Highrise Slum
Elke: With Cemetery Highrise Slum, Creepoid, a four piece from Philadelphia, PA deliver an album tense with distorted guitars, heavy beets, gnarly riffs and longing vocals that sing of heart break and loss. As the name of the album already suggests, this is not exactly backdrop music for a picnic with the family. That being said, we don’t always want sunshine, the darker emotions have their place too and this is one fine album to proof just that. Our pick from the XXX track album Devil In The Subtext. Cemetery Highrise Slum is out on Collect Records.
