His legend has been transmitted over generations spanning 400 thousand years, resulting in this furious ripping anthem.

Irish doom trio The Crawling have released a new video, 'The Right To Crawl'. Watch the new video below! The Right To Crawl' is the second single from the album from the band’s debut album Anatomy Of Loss, which was released recently. Vocalist & guitarist Andy Clarke says the song, "was initially on our EP In Light of Dark Days, and always goes down well live, so we opted to re-record it for Anatomy Of Loss. I'm so pleased we did as it fits in beautifully amongst the new tracks, and really benefits from the improved production. Lyrically, the track has always been a favourite of mine. It is a song about strength, and the choices people make when faced with adversary. Few things in life are easy, but on occasion we have to deal with things we would rather not.
