“Respect. Sometimes it’s given freely and graciously and sometimes it must be torn away grudgingly. Whether you’re prepared to give it up easily or not, Crematory deserve respect for reaching album 14, especially since most of those albums are composed of the same uber silly clubtronic techno-goth rock.” Rave to the grave.

Crematory – Antiserum Review
“Few bands have dipped their toes in more genre pools than Germany’s Crematory. Over the course of their career, they’ve cobbled elements of death metal, gothic rock, electronica, industrial and even club music into what could called the “Crematory sound.” As the years went by, certain elements would drift in and out of prominence, but in recent times, the sonic space between them and countrymen Rammstein has narrowed to a fine line. These guys are heavier and more death-oriented, but the basic sound is essentially the same. While I’ve followed them since 1997, I’ve always found them frustratingly inconsistent.” Do you like your death metal backed by throbbing club music? If so, Crematory is here to fill that specialized niche.
