A few years before the full length on Sentient Ruin came this untouchable (albeit brief) death rock opus from DETH CRUX. There’s something about Los Angeles goth punks that hits different – just as punks often play goth better than goths play goth, Los Angeles goths play goth punk like only Los Angeles punks can play goth punk. The CHRISTIAN DEATH to CIRIL pipeline birthed these dreary souls and in this world for which so many have so little for which to be grateful….? Listen to “Swallowed” and then listen to it again. DETH CRUX was just different.
