![]() Falling While Rising, Surviving the Abyss, The Enemy Beside You…there are no bad songs throughout but it can suffer from repetition. The album is weighted in riffs made of gold, grimy gold that sounds like it’s been pulled from the darkest & deepest swamp. ![]() Distorted sounds, shifts in tempos, dirty riffs, pulse-pounding beats…it’s all present here but with an added rawness in some of the vocals mostly noticeable on Plasmic & Pure, one of the best songs on the album. ![]() The sludgy sound that you’ve come to expect from Crowbar is present throughout the ten tracks. For the most part that comes across but you can also draw comparisons to much of their later sound too. The Serpent Only Lies is Crowbar’s 11th studio album & sees them looking to capture the sound & spirit of their early work. Often overlooked because of founder & frontman Kirk Windstein’s time in supergroup Down, they’ve built up a hardcore following over their lengthy career. It says so much about Crowbar that this far into their career they are still releasing quality sludge metal that never strays too far from their roots.
