Crush the Insects by Reverend Bizarre is more than just an album to me—it’s a cornerstone of my musical identity. It was one of the very first CDs I ever bought for myself, and I must have listened to it a million times. Every riff is burned into my memory, every thunderous chord still sends shivers down my spine.
What makes Crush the Insects so special is its mix of crushing heaviness and unapologetic attitude. The riffs are colossal, the vocals commanding, and the whole thing drips with doom-soaked atmosphere. Tracks like “Doom Over the World” aren’t just songs; they’re statements, delivered with passion and power.
Even years later, this album holds up incredibly well. It’s cool, it’s uncompromising, and it still feels fresh every time I put it on. Reverend Bizarre captured something timeless on Crush the Insects, and I’m grateful it was part of my early musical journey.
