The rules: Today I supply the link and the track. we discuss it. At the end of the thread i pass the torch on to someone else. Runtime = 1 week. The next creator of the next [-IDM] track must copy and paste this initial post. What kind of music can i post? I dont care. As long as we dont normally listen to it here. Ambient to death metal to Zootsuit shit. A-Z you mofo's! If you feel so inclined.... posts pics, lyrics, links. Dont be a shit. I'll seriously sell my DVD player and give Qrter or someone the cash to B7 that ass if you are a dipshit. AKA NO OTHER LINKS TO SONGS AND NO EXTRA BAND DISCUSSION unless you are cool about it. (reg XLT rules.... normals should know what ima talkin about) ON WITH THE THREAD!!! |

by Crowbar. CROWBAR BIO 1989.That's 15 long years ago. Countless memories. Some still vivid, most just a blur. The one constant thing has been my focus and desire. The same vision i had in '89 is still burning strong in my head. Fueled by the down-tuned sludge of the MELVINS, and the over-the-top aggression of Peter Steele's CARNIVORE, i set out to create my own beast and CROWBAR was born. The band's sound was labeled DOOM-CORE by the European press shortly after the 1992 debut release OBEDIENCE THRU SUFFERING. I found it to be quite fitting then, and still do honestly. CROWBAR have released 7 full length cd's, the 2nd selling over 100,000 copies worldwide. We threw in a live EP and a few best of compilations for good measure and are now ready to unleash LIFES BLOOD FOR THE DOWNTRODDEN in early 2005. |

Anyone who knows CROWBAR is familiar with the numerous label and lineup changes over the years. We feel very fortunate to have found a home at CANDLELIGHT and a solid new lineup for this rebirth of sorts. I wisely recruited Rex Brown( PANTERA, DOWN), Craig Nunenmacher (BLS, CROWBAR) and Warren RIKER( DOWN II ) for the recording and producing of this monster, and I'm happy to say I'm very pleased with the outcome. These 11 tracks show an equally dangerous, more mature CROWBAR. 1 part aggression, 1 part melodic, all parts HEAVY !! This is a natural growth for a band that didn't know the fret board went above 5 frets back in '89.A natural growth in my songwriting and vocal style. A step forward - period. After a 2 and 1/2 year hiatus while i recorded and toured with DOWN, CROWBAR hit the stage for the first time on 24 of June, 2004 in the Netherlands. This was the first show since October 2001. The new lineup of myself ( voc. guit. ), Steve Gibb ( guit. ), Tommy Buckley ( drums ), and Pat Bruders ( bass ) proved to be crushing from the first few chords. Our 2 week European tour was a big success with the highlight being a storming set at the WITH FULL FORCE fest in Liepzig, Germany. With the release of the new CD fast approaching, we're ready to hit the road and lay down the law wherever we play. This old dog might be getting older, but we just might hang around another 15 years!! |

Official Site. The song is taken from "lifesblood for the downtrodden" Obviously it is the standout track on the album in my opinion. His voice appears more tame than on other albums which might make this a bit more accessable to you. Power and N.O.L.A Sludge! Good to listen to when you are pissed or drunk or whatever. Good pinnicle metal! Enjoy! |

Alright, listening to the tune as I'm writing. Nice heavy start, but it sounds like it could dwell into something nu-metal(which I really really hate). Here comes the vocal, interesting blend of screeching and screaming. I'm not much of a fan of those "clean" vocal-parts, they remind me too much of crap like Incubus. This is definitely not my type of metal, it's got some nice and droning qualities, but the overall feeling is far too "emo" and "angry-teenage-movie-soundtrack" for my likings. Very clean and in-your-face production. Don't know what else to say about it, not my type of metal. However, this is a very good idea, great concept that I can imagine living on for a while! |

Actually it sounds like the kind of accessable metal that most people play on vorspiels/pre-parties in Noway. |

i agree with the impakt about the vocals. i really don't like clean vocals in metal. it really bothers me. i thought crowbar was the band that had the screaming ten years ago? what happened to them? |

Err, I must have been sub-consciously altered by your post to writing accessable instead of accessible. I want an edit-function :p |

argh, writing=write. Damn alchohol :p |

It's good that you read the original post! |

"AKA NO OTHER LINKS TO SONGS AND NO EXTRA BAND DISCUSSION unless you are cool about it" ahem! :p Impakt. Nu metal is far removed from these gentlemen. Although you might be interested in their earlier work stemming back from 1992. This is a bit on the softer side. Anyways i wish i could get a good pic of the vocalist. He looks like he could move some ass in the pit |

yeah, it's grind stuff alright. sorry, i've sort of fell out of "mainstream" metal lately - i guess it's because the rock stations around where i live suck hard. that' and i burnt myself out on it in high school. |

I believe I'll like their older material a lot more :) |
||||||||
|
|

|

Its cleaner but it still has his rough feel. I can dig it although its softer. I listened to the rest of the album and this is as good as it gets folks :( Overall i like the song but expected more (like the older material) song: 4/5 album 1.9/5 |

I dont listen to mainstream metal so when i run these threads you will hear of bands you will never have heard of before. I trust arf and impakt from what i am reading can help! I am excited about the future of these threads! :) |

yeah, it is good isn't it? excuse me while i beat the shit out of myself. |

ah minus idm! ok. impressions as the song goes.. i'm not a metal man by any definition of the word... the drummer must be bored... I don't think I'll find anything in this that I like from what I've heard this far.. the singer sounds like he's trying to be metallica or whatever... didn't like the guitars much either. I can't stop thinking about that poor drummer.. he's probably (most likely) got some skills, and he doesn't get to show them... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, this track is just too polished for me... between the vocals and just the way the instruments sound... it's just too streamlined. it doesn't have the raw heaviness i like to hear. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wasn't knocking you, i was just saying the track didn't really grab me. jeez. |

|

I clicked and had a listen, but it wasn't my cup of tea/coffee. It reminded me of being extremely drunk, sitting in a chair just waiting for the fog to clear up. Maybe impakt put those thoughts in my head when saying it was standard pre-party music. That might just be. Don't know what more to say actually. Thanks for you hard work though, Brian. |

Fuckin 'a'!!! I got it! I will link to an older track so we can discuss the differences if we so choose! Options! I do like the older stuff! |

This track was better, sounds like some kind of hardcore/death/thrash fusion. Definitely better than the previous one, by far. |

i LOVE! Crowbar! Big Up yourself Viginpusher. The heaviness of their music is umnatched in the genre. |
||||||||
|
|

|

the original track was 2005. I think this one was early 90's. I like his intensity. Good compairison! :) We all learned something about crowbar today! |

Haha, nice to hear. It used to fuel me too, but then I suddenly got into venetian snares and merzbow, in other words; I saw the electronic light! :) |

this one is much better, but still not really my style. but what do i know? i also don't like slayer, so it's pretty obvious there's something wrong with me. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
I've never liked slayer either :p |

seems like the fog has cleared now. this track was far better. |

The first track was pretty weak. It was a kind song that keeps me grinding my teeth at the fact that I really could play the guitar part. The clean vocal parts reminded me of early Deftones, but than the singer's inclinanation towards alcohol was revealed. I would've loved it 7 years ago or so. A band I liked, Corozone, played similar sounds, maybe a little more musical imagination, but on the other hand, the singer had a terrible accent. I really couldn't make out what he was mumbling and he insisted on using English. Ha! The second one was so much better. Hard-core influences really came into light. So many memories... Biohazard HAHA... I'm surprised I didn't know Crowbar when I was in high school. I agree that doom-core is a perfect name for this sound. |
