Lingüa Brütallica - Episode 36: Chaney Crabb of Entheos (California, USA)

Lingua Brutallica

In this episode, we speak to progressive death metal vocalist Chaney Crabb about her work with Entheos. We begin by unpacking how Chaney's continual self-auditing has produced style shifts in her writing over time, starting with the staccato format of their first release (The Infinite Nothing) and moving to the more cohesive approach adopted for their latest release (Time will take us all). Chaney explains this transition to a more accessible lyrical style, combined with repetition of lines across songs and inclusion of clean vocals, are part of a coordinated effort to render her lyrics more coherent. The resulting enhanced visibility (and audibility) of Chaney's lyrics caused her to feel "more naked", with songs referencing her personal experiences and thoughts fully on display. And yet, Chaney does not feel a strong sense of ownership over her lyrics, elaborating that once the music is released, the interpretation and meaning derived from Entheos' work belongs to the listeners who create it.
