Crawl
A below the radar, yet seminal American post-industrial heavy metal group, Crawl emerged in the early 1990s alongside contemporaries like Fear Factory and Soulstorm with a sound that combined the kinetic clang of industrial music with the sonic might of death metal.
Based out of Green Bay, Wisconsin, the band began operating under the moniker Nothing Sacred in the late '80s with a lineup comprised of vocalist/bassist Tom Danz, guitarists Tim Pantzlaff and Jason DeJardin, and drummer Ron Heemstra. After cutting a pair of demos and attaining a respectable local following, the group changed their name to Bleed. Heemstra left the fold shortly thereafter, making room for a Roland R-70 drum machine, as well as bass player Bill Kabacinski. Both entities made their studio debut in 1993 on Bleed's debut EP, Womb.
Two years later, the band adopted a new name, Crawl, and released their first full-length outing, Earth, via Olympia Records. Danz left the fold the following year, with vocal duties being taken over by guitarist DeJardin. The band endured more lineup changes ahead of the release of their next album, with Keith Powers replacing Kabacinski on bass and Josh Hovland taking over bass duties from Kabacinski. The resulting Construct, Destroy, Rebuild arrived in 1996 and would be the group's last studio album. In 2019, Bleed's debut EP Womb was reissued via Megadeth bassist David Ellefson's Combat Records imprint.
