Crowbar songs are unvarnished emotional outpourings that reveal not only emotional vulnerability but also unyielding resolve, and are consistently delivered with crushing intensity.
'Zero And Below', which cements the band’s extensive catalog after exactly a dozen studio albums, is Crowbar’s most unforgiving, darkest album since their 1998 landmark 'Odd Fellows Rest'. Produced, mixed, and mastered by Duane Simoneaux at OCD Recording and Production in Metairie, Louisiana, 'Zero And Below' is a reverent old-school album balanced by a rich, melodic sound that is astonishingly mature.
Songs like “Chemical Godz,” “Bleeding From Every Hole,” and “It’s Always Worth The Gain” showcase what Crowbar does better than any other band: powerful, atmospheric, and crushingly heavy music. Crowbar, who recently celebrated their 30th anniversary, are led by one of heavy metal’s most beloved figures, riff overlord Kirk Windstein.
Crowbar recorded their twelfth album in a more traditional manner, with the band (now officially featuring bassist Shane Wesley) coming together to flesh out the new songs. Each member contributed as a songwriter before returning to the studio with Simoneaux to etch the ten crushing tracks of 'Zero And Below' into history. On 'Zero And Below', Crowbar once again unleash their magic. As Metal Hammer once aptly noted, Crowbar exist “in a genre of their own.”
