Africa's Best Death Metal Band : CRACKDUST[views:11661][posts:74]____________________________________ [Jun 12,2008 9:57pm - ArilliusBM ""] http://www.myspace.com/crackdust Haha, i remember hearing about this band a couple of years ago. Check them out - true AFRICAN DEATH METAL! :skull: |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 12,2008 10:02pm - archaeon ""] haha tim mortalis found these guys last year, fucking amazing. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 12,2008 10:04pm - ihmgnoti ""] good shit. their new album is a little too digital sounding though. with a more "live" sound i bet these guys would sound a lot heavier. |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 12,2008 10:58pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] Wow: Formed in the early days of 2006, Crackdust is a death metal band that hails from Botswana in Africa. Four months after its formation, the band was faced with some unexpected events that left it spread across a 500 km radius across the country at the beginning of the recording of their debut album. This turn of events became a threat to the existence of the newly formed band. Read: "We started this band and then dudes started running around in pickup trucks with AK-47s chopping off hands so we had to bounce." BR00TAL. |

| _____________________________________ [Jun 12,2008 11:33pm - ArilliusBM ""] it kind of has an "old school" feel - almost Barnes' Cannibal Corpse-esque.. but maybe it's the beer talking. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 13,2008 1:19am - ArilliusBM ""] wow, they have a streaming sample thing of their album on their webpage.. http://www.crackdust.com/estore/product_info.php?products_id=28 this is actually good |

BR00TAL. I lol'd. Made my day right there. These guys are pretty sick too. |
| _______________________________ [Jun 13,2008 9:51am - aril ""] Someday if I ever find myself in Botswana and I'm eager for a metal show, I'll check this band out. I'm just curious though - I wonder if an American label would pick them up. |

| ___________________________________ [Jun 16,2008 11:48am - dertoxia ""] Crackdust should do a split with Acrassicauda |
| ________________________________ [Jun 16,2008 11:49am - aril ""] can you imagine what their reception would be in America if they played a show? haha |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 16,2008 2:14pm - thegreatspaldino ""] the guitar sound on those recordings is thick and brutal. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 11,2008 3:04pm - CRAKDUST ""] we have ak47 and jeeps and invade shaks in the desert |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 11,2008 9:10pm - My_Dying_Bride ""] these guys must have some authentic influence, seeing as they've probably seen actual death more than every other death metal band combined. |

| ____________________________________ [Jan 10,2009 5:07am - dudecakes ""] damn, fuckin' interesting. i looked at their photos - they have cars, space, instruments, internet, spare time and resources.... botswana isn't one of the more dangerous or poor countries in africa either. i take it these dudes must be pretty affluent for their area. the fact that they played live is crazy! not bad stuff.... they should play with Arghoslent. |

Botswana is in South Africa wich would explain why they actually had access to learn and play instruments. Yea it kinda sucks that Britain basially colonized SA and enslaved alot of the natives there but hey, at least they got internet and english out of the deal. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 10,2009 10:17am - ArilliusBM ""] Botswana isn't one of the poorer nations in Africa - but then again, it's not exactly the richest nation in the world either. It's still interesting because there's very limited amounts of bands from that forsaken continent. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 10,2009 10:20am - ArilliusBM ""] Haha, I never saw those pics before. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 10,2009 10:21am - Lamp nli ""] Conquest For Death apparently toured South Africa and Botswana either in 2007 or 2008, maybe Madagascar as well. Can't help but wonder how the punk scene is out there. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 10,2009 10:23am - dudecakes ""] there's actually quite a lot of music going on in africa . lots and lots of groups. the "underground metal" aspect is the thing that gets me. it's not like they even have local neighborhood dickheads to pass them a Linkin Park CD or something. a group of dedicated and probably pretty "weird" black dudes had to get together to do this. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 10,2009 10:26am - Lamp nli ""] That's the way it is in places like Malaysia and Thailand too, the underground got established before the big names. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 10,2009 10:30am - ArilliusBM ""] http://www.myspace.com/wrust that's their older band.. pretty good stuff too. hahaha |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 22,2009 7:29pm - arilliusbm ""] bump. book them on NEDF if at all possible? |

| ___________________________________ [Jul 25,2012 8:34am - Goatrider ""] I'll give this album a try via the interblogz. If I hate it, I won't buy it. If it turns out awesome.... I'd probably still want to avoid getting anything shipped from Africa because pirates. |
