The Leviathan - Into Darkness...(Bandcamp)

Something new, yet something familiar. Hailing from Manchester England or UK for most of the state side people, The Leviathan feel familiar but glint a very directly different palate. The band evokes dark wave/black/metal style I like, but also emote something a bit off center from standard fair currently playing.


In Darkness It Crawls has very good production value, the musicians are capable, and applicable to their craft. This record compliments winks to Novembers Doom, Solitude Aeturnus, Watain, Immortal, some Death, and Lacrimas Profrundere. These are great bands to be in thought and reference, yet The Leviathan push the metal flag and I'm glad to have found them by happenstance.

I may sound like I'm inching closer to seeing what the new breed of metal is about, and this seems to alleviate my concerns. In Darkness It Crawls is released independently free from major record labels, seek them out via The Leviathan Bandcamp Site, support the work. Thanks for reading
