Crumbling Ghost play sixties British folk revival standards, and compositions they’ve informed, in the style of doom metal monsters Sleep or Electric Wizard, finding shamanic drones in traditional tunes.
But unlike hillbilly bands that release novelty albums of AC/DC covers, Crumbling Ghost’s second record is a convincing concoction.
The Submerged Forest is Can’s pulverising Yoo Doo Right with a zombie country dance interlude, and the famous lament The Poor Murdered Woman, sung by new vocalist Katie Harnett, suggests the young Barbara Dixon fronting Black Sabbath.
