Contents

Darker Handcraft is the first Trap Them album recorded with drummer Chris Maggio formerly of the hardcore band Coliseum. Vocalist Ryan McKenny observed a stronger bond among band members with the addition of Maggio. McKenny noted that, during the writing process, Trap Them was focused and never got mad at one another.

Reception

Darker Handcraft has received mainly positive reviews, from many critics. AllMusic stated "Trap Them and their ilk are bound to leave many happily damaged eardrums before they runs their course". Dre Okorley of AbsolutePunk remarked "Darker Handcraft deciphers what Leatherface turned into his special forte: it stretches skin and curdles blood like it's a walk in the park". Though minor flaws were noted in the album, it appeared in the upper percentile of the majority of heavy music sites.
