Lisburn death doom trio The Crawling return with »Live In Belfast MMXXIV«, a stark, unfiltered document of the band at full weight. Captured at a packed hometown headline in Belfast’s Limelight 2 in November 2024, the record delivers their suffocating blend of death and doom exactly as performed, with no overdubs, no polish, and no compromise.

Formed in 2014, The Crawling have built a reputation for bleak, deliberate heaviness, appearing at Bloodstock, Inferno, Siege of Limerick, MetalDays and Incineration Festival, and sharing stages with Carcass, Winterfylleth, Gaerea, Abbath and Shores of Null. Following 2023’s All of This for Nothing, the new live album captures that same oppressive atmosphere in its rawest form.

“It suddenly hit me that The Crawling has been going ten years. Like most bands, the goal is to play live, and when you can’t reach everyone, the next best thing is to capture that energy. Live is where it all connects; the emotion, the sound, the experience. That night in Belfast brought it all together, a packed home crowd, the recording, the filming, everything. It’s our way of saying thanks to those who’ve supported us from day one, and of introducing ourselves to anyone new. To finally release a live album is a lifelong dream. And honestly, live albums are just fucking cool.” — Andy Clarke (vocals/guitar)

The eleven track set spans every era of the band’s catalogue, from »An Immaculate Deception« and »Bound To The Negative« to »Wolves And The Hideous White«, and stands as an honest reflection of their decade of work. A full concert film will follow on YouTube, with encore »Rancid Harmony« remaining exclusive to the CD and digital release.

»Live In Belfast MMXXIV« arrives 23 January 2026 through Grindscene Records on CD and digital, with exclusive bundles available now via Bandcamp: thecrawlingband.bandcamp.com.
