History

Crackdust was founded at the beginning of 2006 by Roth (vocals, electric guitar), S'Bond (bass) and Dlax (drums). The band released the first single Deranged Psychopath the same year . Their debut album, Dented Reality was published in December 2007. Mid-2008, Lee came as the new bassist for the band. The previous bassist S'Bond became the second guitarist of the band.[1]

In early September 2008 Crackdust was the opening band of the Botswana Woodstock. In 2011 they released a second single Return of the Gods.[2]

Style

They're known for the slower tempos of their songs. Stylistically, the songs resemble a mixture of Bolt Thrower and Dan Swanös' slower works.[3] The music of Crackdust has been compared to the works of Cannibal Corpse.[4]
