CROWBAR - New Bio For 2010
February 1, 2010, 14 years ago
New Orleans-based metallers CROWBAR check in with the following update from Kirk Windstein (vocals, guitar):
"1989. That's over 20 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. Possibly stronger than ever. When you put this much blood, sweat and tears into something you can never look back.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 debut release of Obedience Thru Suffering. I found it to be quite fitting then and still do honestly.
Crowbar have released 8 full length CDs, the second selling over 100,000 units worldwide. We threw in a live EP and a few compilations for good measure and that's where we stand today.
Anyone who knows Crowbar is familiar with the numerous label and line-up changes over the years. I couldn't be more happy with the group of guys in our current lineup. In terms of musicianship, loyalty and friendship, this is our strongest lineup to date. Period.
As I am typing this, we are furiously writing a new full length for you. We will also be re-releasing most of our back catalog and a new live full length thru Housecore Records.
I've lived a thousand life times over the course of the last 20+ years, but this old dog's got a lot more than you think left in the tank!"
