Haha, i remember hearing about this band a couple of years ago.

Check them out - true AFRICAN DEATH METAL!

haha tim mortalis found these guys last year, fucking amazing.

good shit. their new album is a little too digital sounding though.

with a more "live" sound i bet these guys would sound a lot heavier.

Wow:

Formed in the early days of 2006, Crackdust is a death metal band that hails from Botswana in Africa. Four months after its formation, the band was faced with some unexpected events that left it spread across a 500 km radius across the country at the beginning of the recording of their debut album. This turn of events became a threat to the existence of the newly formed band.

Read: "We started this band and then dudes started running around in pickup trucks with AK-47s chopping off hands so we had to bounce."

BR00TAL.

honestly considering the logistics of finding a studio that does good death metal production in the middle of africa, i'd say this shit sounds pretty good

it kind of has an "old school" feel - almost Barnes' Cannibal Corpse-esque..
but maybe it's the beer talking.

wow, they have a streaming sample thing of their album on their webpage..

this is actually good

I lol'd. Made my day right there.

These guys are pretty sick too.

Someday if I ever find myself in Botswana and I'm eager for a metal show, I'll check this band out.
I'm just curious though - I wonder if an American label would pick them up.

Africa has the internet?

Apparently they have death metal bands that have the interweb.

this is good shit....great band name too!

Africa is the new British Empire.

yeah, i bought their album a few months ago. it's pretty sweet.

see if blue can get them last minute on the NEDF.

where's NIGGER on this one?

great band name.

Best.Band.Ever.

Crackdust should do a split with Acrassicauda

can you imagine what their reception would be in America if they played a show? haha

the guitar sound on those recordings is thick and brutal.

we have ak47 and jeeps and invade shaks in the desert

these guys must have some authentic influence, seeing as they've probably seen actual death more than every other death metal band combined.

BUMPING FOR TRUE DEATH METAL FROM AFRICA

They are my favorite African death metal band.

Let's get them to come to Boston to play!

haha Boston would boo them off of the stage

CONGO. SLAM. GREEEEEEEEEEEEEZ.

BUMP1NG FOR TRUE DEATH METAL FROM AFRICA

Makes Today is the Day cancelling a show cuz their van broke down really sound like a bunch of fags.

good shit.

this band should play the NEDF

I second the motion!

I second this as well!

I third the motion!

it's Radical Roth!!!



I dig this band.

damn, fuckin' interesting. i looked at their photos - they have cars, space, instruments, internet, spare time and resources.... botswana isn't one of the more dangerous or poor countries in africa either. i take it these dudes must be pretty affluent for their area. the fact that they played live is crazy! not bad stuff.... they should play with Arghoslent.

Botswana is in South Africa wich would explain why they actually had access to learn and play instruments. Yea it kinda sucks that Britain basially colonized SA and enslaved alot of the natives there but hey, at least they got internet and english out of the deal.

Botswana isn't one of the poorer nations in Africa - but then again, it's not exactly the richest nation in the world either. It's still interesting because there's very limited amounts of bands from that forsaken continent.

Haha, I never saw those pics before.

Conquest For Death apparently toured South Africa and Botswana either in 2007 or 2008, maybe Madagascar as well. Can't help but wonder how the punk scene is out there.

there's actually quite a lot of music going on in africa . lots and lots of groups. the "underground metal" aspect is the thing that gets me. it's not like they even have local neighborhood dickheads to pass them a Linkin Park CD or something. a group of dedicated and probably pretty "weird" black dudes had to get together to do this.

That's the way it is in places like Malaysia and Thailand too, the underground got established before the big names.

that's their older band.. pretty good stuff too. hahaha

bump.
book them on NEDF if at all possible?

Best Afrideath band

s'bond and Dlax look like dave chappele

THAT'S RACIST

i think all black dudes look like dave chappelle

troll crushes are cute. have fun wasting your time trying to get a rise out of me lol.

Annual bump.
Fuck off MiddleEastern Black Metal.

Only real BLACK metal is real.

of course and African band has the word CRACK in their name. RACXIXZZGIDGDSZLKCIST

*an

also, wicked run-of-the-mill band is wicked run-of-the-mill.

I'll give this album a try via the interblogz. If I hate it, I won't buy it. If it turns out awesome.... I'd probably still want to avoid getting anything shipped from Africa because pirates.

There's nothing incredible about them other than being from Africa which makes forming a metal band 10000x harder than anywhere else.

I still think some money bags guy like Winter is Coming "funding the fest out of my pocket" guy should have them play the states.

Get a Nigerian Ferengi prince to e-scam them into coming out here and playing KC's Tap.

not true at all, there's a pretty fair amount of bands from Africa. Remember Cauterized, Groinchurn, Malignant Saviour?

South Africa = not real Africa

lol @ picking out white South African bands of modern English descent over black sub saharan bands.

RACCXCXIST

Egypt has a load of metal bands :]

Indeed it does.
SUB SAHARAN IS AFRICA. EGYPT IS MIDDLE EAST. GET WITH THE PROGRAM PEOPLE

This thread is about BLACK AFRICAN bands. Not WHITE OR A-RAB BANDS. WTF

YOU ARE ALL RAYNARD STEVENSES

The preferred term is "African American African", thank you very much.

It's all klingon and ferengi country to me.

Bump. Fuck off white metal bands.
