BAND OF THE DAY: SUMMON THE CROWS

Helping themselves to a fair bit of hype thanks to being the latest crust-etched skit-kickers snapped up by Southern Lord, Oslo, Norway's Summon the Crows are playing Roadburn this weekend, on the stage curated by Southern 0))), alongside eighteen bands who sound like Earth, for the edification of 1,800 people who look like the dude in Earth.

You know, the sad looking one.

Forming in 2000, this odorous three-piece have been fitfully active, cranking out pummelling crust metal which takes equal helpings from Bolt Thrower's first disc, Axegrinder, Kreator, Discharge and perhaps even a bit of black metal in the frosty riffs and haunting instrumentals that pop up on both their 2006 debut 'Scavengers Feast' and second full-length 'One More For the Gallows' (on vinyl from Ruin Nation Records and super limited CD from Southern Lord), along with a spot of driving Motörcrust redolent of Czech filthbags Malignant Tumour.

Check out two tracks from the disc here.
