The first and eponymous song “Feeding the Crawling Shadows” is mostly sung in a low pitched growl, while the second song “In Charnel Dreams” is instead in a more usual high pitched scream; the contrast between growl and scream increases the dramatic tension in “Charnel in Dreams”. This alternation between growl and scream also returns later on the album; it is one of the innovations of Feeding the Crawling Shadows compared to the past. “The Unspoken Ones”, “Inside the Demon's Maze” and “Kingdom Below” stand out for being particularly breathless, but every song is an intense poem of the most extreme, obscure, putrid black metal.
The texts reflect thematically very well the deep obscurity of the album. A must have for true blacksters!
