CROWBAR REVISITED: Obedience Thru Suffering (Pavement, 1991)
Kirk Windstein and his band of not-so-merry men are coming to Canada for the first time in ages, and even though it’s been a cold September, something tells me they’ll all be wearing shorts. In any...

CROWBAR REVISITED: Self-titled (Pavement, 1993)
One of the utmost quintessential sludge albums, Crowbar’s sophomore effort features such classic tracks as “Self-Inflicted,” “All I Had (I Gave),” “I Have Failed,” and their cover of Led Zep’s “No...

CROWBAR REVISITED: Time Heals Nothing (Pavement, 1995)
Although it might not contain quite as many anthems as its predecessor, Time Heals Nothing is certainly another solid release of slow, sorrowful sludge that’s certainly Crowbar’s signature. Even when...

Sandwiched in between their earlier, formative albums and some of their outstanding early 2000’s releases, I must say that I don’t go back to Broken Glass very often. That’s not to say there’s...

CROWBAR REVISITED: Sonic Excess in its Purest Form (Spitfire, 2001)
Not just a great album title; it’s a pretty terrific record, as well. By now, Crowbar had honed its craft to the point where their signature style of sludge was finely (down)tuned and pretty potent,...

CROWBAR REVISITED: Lifesblood for the Downtrodden (Candlelight, 2005)
Lifesblood, being that it came out some four years after its predecessor—and almost six before their next album—is somewhat of a forgotten record. Like Sonic Excess, great title, but the tracks on...

CROWBAR REVISITED: Sever the Wicked Hand (E1 Metal, 2011)
Though I’ve been waiting a long time for a new Crowbar album, I wasn’t too sure I’d be pleased with the end result. Their last few recordings were somewhat lacklustre, and then there’s that whole...

AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: CROWBAR/Revocation/Havok/Armed for...
This would’ve been a few years ago (2010, I think), but I remember seeing one date in December where Crowbar and Eyehategod’s respective tours intersected, with them sharing a bill somewhere down...
