Vocalist Orvar Säfström joined
Entombed just long enough to sing on the three-track
Crawl EP, taking over for Lars-Göran Petrov. The version of "Crawl" here on this EP differs from the subsequent version on
Clandestine (1991), though the difference is essentially one of vocals. Drummer/songwriter Nicke Andersson sung the version on
Clandestine, and his vocals are an improvement over those of Säfström, which are mixed low and aren't especially compelling. The rest of the song, however, is pretty much the same -- as if Säfström's were stripped and replaced with those of Andersson. The
Crawl EP, released well in advance of
Clandestine, also includes a couple non-LP tracks: "Forsaken" and "Bitter Loss," the latter of which is a re-recorded song from
Left Hand Path. ~ Jason Birchmeier
