AXEGRINDER “Rise Of The Serpent Men” LP

The Rise of the Serpent Men (2017) – Axegrinder

The Rise of the Serpent Men is a cult album from the British crust scene, distinguished by its exceptionally dark and heavy sound upon its release in 1989. Axegrinder combined the raw energy of anarcho-punk with a monumental, almost epic atmosphere and elements of early death metal. The slower, heavy riffs, gloomy atmosphere, and apocalyptic nature of the compositions made the album one of the most distinctive releases in Peaceville’s late 1980s catalog.

The album is now considered a crucial link between crust punk and extreme metal, influencing the development of many subsequent underground bands.
