Crowbar is truly one of the most underrated bands in heavy music. "Time Heals Nothing" and "Broken Glass" are two of the heaviest records ever. It's cool to see them on a new label and making some new music.

The singer has possibly the most epic beard I've ever seen. So thick and full...

[SuicidalFreak]

Now that Crowbar's putting out a new album, it looks like the new Down album isn't coming out this year.

I wish I was the Vice President of Metal. That sounds awesome.

Second, Crowbar is awesome and I am glad to hear that E1 is recognizing their immense talent. The new record will destroy worlds, I'm sure.

Hmm I wanted them to sign with Earache or Relapse, but any Crowbar is awesome.

Hell, I'd be happy as Secretary of State. Who would be the president? Ozzy? Hetfield? Those cabinet meetings would be KILLER.

This could lead to 'em getting better distribution, which would be great. Incredibly under-appreciated band.

I would have liked to read the article but instead I get non stop pop up ads.

Very close to being done with this website.
