Four years on from their critically acclaimed Let the Devil In masterpiece,
SARGEIST return with their massively anticipated fourth album, Feeding the Crawling Shadows. More than just a quintessentially "black metal" album title, Feeding the Crawling Shadows is a veritable raison d'etre for these Finnish scene legends: With faith and devotion, through ritual and necromancy, SARGEIST feed the blackest, most Satanic essence at the core of BLACK METAL and, in turn, wield its clandestine powers with sorcerous might.

4 new hymns, recorded in the same session like Sargeist's latest full length masterpiece, Unbound, showing nothing but Satanic Black Devotion.
Grim Nihlistic Black Metal. This is a cold as death, Black Metal masterpiece!! Featuring members of HORNA & BEHEXEN, this is the Finnish BM supergroup! Perhaps the coldest release since DARKTHRONE's "Under A Funeral Moon"!
The riffing is fast, melodic, and in pure Finnish/Norwegian black metal roots heritage.
The band's melodic quality shines best in the track ‘Sargeist' on this album. It's absolutely heart wrenching. Dripping with anger and emotion. Regret, sorrow, hatred, ready to end it all. No Funeral. This is the real fucking deal.
Sargeist does a brilliant job breaking from blast-beats into a head banging steady rhythm that keeps me tapping my boot through the song at different rhythmically timed formations. It's in many ways traditional shit, done better than most groups out there.

Sargeist has always had an interesting atmosphere, and it's rather hard to describe. Imagine if Mütiilation's predilections for drugs, suicide, and Satan were celebrated instead of mourned and you have a good idea.
Sargeist's music is always vaguely disgusting and filthy yet resolutely proud of its own decay-hedonistic and excessive, like Caligula-era Rome. Well, if you want filth-caked black metal, it's hard to find a better example in the Sargeist catalog than this demo. Sargeist has never sounded so sleazy as on tracks like 'Anti-Human Black Metal Wrath', where the strains of 'Deathcrush'-era Mayhem come home to roost in a short, violently rhythmic track. The production only aids the oily, viscous feeling of these songs, with the murky guitars and drums moving like a sea of raw sewage under the perpetually hissing and howling vocals. It's definitely a good example of rawness used to aid music rather than detract from it.
