“A four-minute warning siren”
That's Heavy Press Weekly on “Crows Perch,” the B-side that outgrew its A-side. The track started as a soundcheck jam, was cut in a single evening, and is now the most-played Tidewire song on the label radio hour. Here's what everyone else said:
“Riffs like falling masonry. Play it twice or not at all.” — Riff & Ruin, 9/10
“Alucard have never sounded this direct, or this dangerous.” — The Pit Report
“Three minutes forty-eight of pure forward motion.” — Volume zine
Where to hear it
“Crows Perch” backs the Bird of Hermes 7-inch, streams everywhere, and opens every night of the Hellhound promo tour. Our verdict matches the press: play it twice. Full single details and the B-side story are on the release page.
