Crungus Signs with Wormholedeath for New Album Hollow
Texas-based death metal outfit Crungus has joined forces with Wormholedeath Records for the release of their first full-length album, Hollow. Known for their relentless sound, raw energy, and unfiltered approach to heavy music, the band is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about names in the underground metal scene.
From Acoustic Duo to Death Metal Juggernaut
Crungus started in 2021 as a two-man acoustic project on the desolate plains of the Texas Panhandle. That modest beginning didn’t last long. Within a year, the group expanded into a five-piece beast armed with guttural vocals, hammering drums, and punishing riffs. Their music now fuses brutal death metal with streaks of blackened atmosphere and slow-burning doom, delivering a sound that’s aggressive, unpredictable, and completely their own.
Hollow: A Record That Hits Where It Hurts
The upcoming album Hollow is a sonic dive into themes of psychological collapse, spiritual erosion, and the anxiety of modern existence. Crungus doesn’t just play heavy music—they use it to process dread and chaos. The title track is a perfect example, blending dissonance and weight with unsettling clarity.
In their own words: “Hollow is about staring directly into the things you try to avoid—your thoughts, your fears, your place in the world—and finding something there that you weren’t ready for. But you look anyway.”

Live Energy, DIY Spirit
Crungus has made a name for themselves through aggressive, high-volume performances across Texas, turning basement venues and bar stages into rituals of controlled chaos. Their reputation has grown on the strength of word-of-mouth and their no-compromise approach to recording, visuals, and promotion.
Metal blogs like No Clean Singing and Toilet ov Hell have praised the band’s sound for its brutality and nuance, with one reviewer noting, “Crungus balances savagery and atmosphere like a band well beyond their years. There’s real power behind the noise.”

More Than Music, It’s a Statement
With Hollow, Crungus invites listeners into a space where confrontation is necessary, where heaviness serves a purpose, and where music becomes the medium for both destruction and healing. This debut is only the beginning of what they’re calling “a reckoning through sound.”
