CRAWLING CHAOS - XLIX (CD digipack)
Crawling Chaos's music is a mixture between old school metal and some of the new trends of the extreme music scenario. The narrative dimension of the band's lyrics is often emphasized through samples, a crucial element also on stage.
CC draws inspiration by bands such as Death, Behemoth, Lamb of God, Obscura, Gorguts, Gojira and many more.
XLIX is a concept album loosely based on The Prince, the renown book written by Niccolò Machiavelli in the XVI century. It is conceived as a sort of journey, an out-of-time chronicle telling the tale of a nameless protagonist who is also the sole point of view of the narration.
Embittered and frustrated by the reality he’s living in, the protagonist gains access to a forbidden knowledge when he finds a fictional “lost edition” of Machiavelli’s masterpiece. The cursed tome, recovered amongst the ruins of an ancient city, enables him to effectively embody the skills and qualities of the ultimate ruler.
In order to conquer his throne and establish absolute power, the protagonist is forced to follow the historic footsteps of Cesare Borgia, the illegitimate son of Pope Alexander VI and Italian Reinassance warlord whose deeds had inspired Machiavelli’s (in)famous book.
As the newborn monarch forces his will upon the world for the purpose of creating an idyllic utopia, an impending awareness starts pervading him: in replicating the achievements of history’s greatest figures he is actually compelled to follow a weird, predetermined path.
Maybe, his obsession to replace chaos with order and the great, dreadful actions he’s perpetrating are just clockwork maneuvers taken by someone – or something – sitting at the edge of the cosmic chessboard…
Ultimately, XLIX is the story of an epic rise followed by a painful, totalizing fall. Each of the seven songs relates to one of the main aspects that constitute the narration. The tale abounds with quotes and cross-references, with the writing process requiring a thorough work of research and contextualization.
Overall, the concept is a sort of layered, multi-faceted hallegory the listener may decode via various lenses such as theology, sociology, esoterism and psichology – with a touch of grotesque, a feature that has always underpinned Crawling Chaos’ lyrics. “

Veilburner has created another dark, brutal, dissonant masterpiece!
Within the first 10 seconds of listening to the opening track I knew I was in for a great ride. These guys get better with every release.
Veilburner's distinctive style has got me hooked.
I highly recommend it!

As compared to Ad Nauseam, Ylem is relatively easy listening, and as compared to Archspire and First Fragment, this album is somewhat subtle, which is an admittedly odd description of technical death metal in the vein of Gorguts and Ulcerate, but is nonetheless a compliment. I love the 2021 releases from the the first three aforementioned bands, but sometimes you need to dial back the excess and tell a story with (relatively) more breathing room. Sunless is one of the big ones now! Ippocalyptica
Finnish Techno-Death. This is extremely powerful & utterly relentless in places! Ooh & those technical riffs are to die for! Lastly, you get all of this from a debut album!!! These guys will never leave my radar from now on! Highly recommended!!! bmurator
