#BreakingNews : CROWMASTER Unveil “Skeleton Coast,” a Haunting Descent into Namibia’s Dark Shores

December 2025 — CROWMASTER, the dark and atmospheric post-rock/post-metal project formed by Greg McEwan and Johan de Jager, both former members of South Africa’s pioneering extreme metal outfit Voice of Destruction, return with a deeply evocative new track titled “Skeleton Coast,” released on December 8, 2025.

Known for their slow-burning intensity, brooding ambience, and shadow-drenched soundscapes, CROWMASTER operate in the liminal space where crushing heaviness collides with stark minimalism. On “Skeleton Coast,” the duo channels these elements into a cinematic journey inspired by one of Africa’s most haunting landscapes.

The track draws its atmosphere from Namibia’s infamous Skeleton Coast — a desolate shoreline littered with shipwrecks, cloaked in dense fog, and steeped in stories of sailors swallowed by merciless seas. Through expansive textures, restrained aggression, and an ever-growing sense of unease, CROWMASTER translate this harsh terrain into sound, capturing both its physical danger and its mythic, almost supernatural aura.

With “Skeleton Coast,” CROWMASTER reaffirm their ability to transform history, landscape, and atmosphere into immersive sonic experiences — not merely telling a story, but pulling listeners into the cold, unforgiving depths of the coast itself.
