“Shapes of Inner Urge” is a nice under the radar death metal
release from these Germans. The music on this album is a little straight death
metal; killer riffs behind a wall of blast beats and some very powerful vocals.
The guitar work on this album surprised me the most. They may not play a technical
sound in nature, but they are definitely the highlight of the album. The
guitars create some very nice harmonies throughout and there are some well
executed solos to be heard as well. The drums, although very aggressive, are
very standard and provide the basic sound death metal hangs its hat on. At the
end of the day, Crust’s sole album may not be on par with fellow countrymen;
Fleshcrawl, Atrocity or Apophis, but it's definitely worth a listen. File this under
another band lost in the shuffle of the grander schemes of things.
Highlights: "Darkside", "Decomposition",
"Grass", "Mince My Logical Mind", "First Breath"
Rating: 3.5
