	Crowbar - Heavy Duty
		The band’s debut album, Bad Manors and their live performances on a cross Canada tour had won legions of fans for the band and many were anxiously waiting for the band’s next album.
		On this album, the band moved away from their high energy blues styled songs and tried their hand unsuccessfully at psychedelic music in the style of the Grateful Dead.
		Heavy Duty was the band’s last album for Daffodil Records with a move to Epic for the next album but this was the beginning of the end for Crowbar and after one more album the band split up.

		This first album was seen as being underproduced by Crowbar yet it gave them a certain amount of recognition in the underground.
		Their debut album was produced by Eli Ball but didn't get released until a year later in 1996 because of the legal problems of the band name Penalty.
		Their self titled album was released in 1997 on Mayhem/Fierce records and can be described as an aggressive metal album with influences of thrash mixed with the heavier moments of Black Sabbath not to mention the abundance of double bass which gives this band an edge.

	CANOE -- JAM! Music - Pop Encyclopedia - Crowbar
		Crowbar's roots can be traced back almost as far back as Roly Greenway's career.
		Crowbar was the first act to launch a record in the legislation era (a law designating the implementation of 30% mandatory Canadian content by all radio stations) with the single "Oh, What A Feeling".
		As part of Pierre Trudeau's bid to gain the youth vote, his wife Margaret Trudeau who was a Crowbar fan, asked the band to become the opening act of Trudeau's re-election campaign in 1972.

		With their 8th album in their 15 year existence, Crowbar is one of the few bands that refuse to evolve or progress beyond the sound of their debut.
		At their best when slowing down to a heart stopping lumber, Crowbar’s weight isn’t purely physical anymore, lightened considerably since the Todd Strange days, but are still are heavy musically, as Crowbar have a consistently molten crawl that’s rife with pain and angst.
		The repressive heaviness of Crowbar is due to their ability to play massive yet restrictive riffs that seem to implode upon the listener with the gravity of a fl hole.

	Crowbar - Odd Fellow's Rest \| Album Review @ Music-Critic.com : the source for music reviews, interviews, articles, and ...
		At a time when thrash metal was at its peak with death metal fast on its heels in becoming the most dominant trend in underground metal, a time when speed was essential for heavy music, The Slugs emerged in the N.O. underground pounding out slow, bonecrushingly heavy tunes that few knew what to think of.
		Crowbar’s involvement with Down shines through for the first time on "New Man Born", giving the track an oppressive southern-fried edge in the same spirit of Down’s "Bury Me In Smoke" or "Lifer", albeit much heavier.
		Were in not for Crowbar’s habit of consistently putting out the some of the best heavy music to be had, I would brand this cd a classic for the ‘90’s, just as Metallica’s (R.I.P.) Master Of Puppets and Slayer’s Reign In Blood were for the 80’s.

		The Slugs featured J. Bower of Eyehategod and through this and other connections, Crowbar was involved in the much hyped New Orleans scene with Eyehategod, Down, Exhorder and others.
		The tour was Crowbar's second US run in support of its latest album, Lifesblood For The Downtrodden.
		It is the band's allegiance to itself and the down to earth quality of the music that endears Crowbar anno 2005 to the listener.

	Crowbar-Lifesblood for the Downtrodden CD Review: Abrasive Rock.com P.O. Box 828, Olympia, WA. 98507 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Musically, it is a combination of unspeakably heavy drop-tuned riffs and straight-8 drumming (as opposed to blastbeats) with either clean or shouted vocals-it is the lack of overpowering speed and vomitorium vocals that distinctly differentiates it from death metal.
		CROWBAR and sludge are a band and genre ready to come into their own as one of the great, long-lived crossover bands like MOTORHEAD and AC/DC-enjoyed not just by metal fans but punks and hardcore kids as well.
		Now the rest of the album is full of decent songs, but it is these two and the closer that make this album what it is. As I mentioned in my review of the new Judas Priest, this is all about lead roles and a solid supporting cast.

		Fact of the matter is, the only album of theirs I’ve heard before this (in its entirety) was their previous effort, Sonic Excess in Its Purest Form.
		Crowbar’s legacy of “fat guy metal” came about partially because of big Kirk Windstein and a bassist, Todd Strange, that made him look small.
		2/16/2005 5:43:39 AM this album pounds along with everything they have ever done.well they did have a n album or two i did not care for between oddfellows rest and sonic excess but the rest of the albus are all great.

		The wait was worth it and this is the de facto Crowbar album.
		Crowbar has always offered up a top-shelf dose of depressive sludge metal that is heavier than a herd of pachyderms.
		The album closer and ballsy ballad, “Lifesblood” (which is written by Brown), is like “Fall” and “Moon,” it goes for the jugular not by pounding skulls to smithereens with 10-ton riffs, but with emotion, care, and skill.

		It's been five years since the release of this compilation album and still to this day it sounds as fresh and original as it did the first time I heard it.
		There are fifteen songs on the album and I could describe each one of them to you in full detail but I'm sure you have already gained some sort of Idea of what the band is all about.
		The vocals are somewhat harmonized during this break, and as one of the longest tracks on the album it is also one of the most well thought out and put together songs here as well.

	HellrideMusic.com - Crowbar - Life's Blood For The Downtrodden
		Crowbar are known as the Kings of NOLA sludge, but I think that limits the appeal of this album.
		Good Review, I find peices of evry Crowbar album that are great but the last few albums they have def.
		I'd say Sonic Excess was far more memorable...don't get me wrong, the new one is a good album but somehow it lacks that "play me in repeat mode for days" addictive songwriting that the previous CD had.

		This Album, i think, is up there easily with their debut "Crowbar", "Equilibrium" and also their latest release "Lifesblood For The Downtrodden".
		This Album is one of their most heaviest, melodic, mature and intense Albums to date.
		Crowbar albums are, however, always a thick and heavy meal to digest.

	CoC : Crowbar : Interview
		Crowbar's previous albums, especially their most recent, 1996's _Broken Glass_, have concentrated on churning out sludgecore which, though always excellent, has stuck to riffs which are primarily percussive and vocals which are low and guttural.
		This album has seen Crowbar take their music to new levels of brilliance by incorporating tons of atmosphere and a huge amount of melody, especially in Todd Strange's vocals.
		However, Crowbar aren't in this for the money; they're in it for the music, and if their integrity helped make _Odd Fellows Rest_ as good as it is, then we should be thankful they aren't greedy.

	Rough Edge: Interview with Kirk Windstein of CROWBAR, January 2005
		While many Crowbar fans have had to patiently get their fix through Kirk Windstein and Rex Brown's side project, Down, the thunder from New Orleans resurfaces in 2005 with a new lineup, a new album, and extensive tour plans.
		With the advent of a down-tuned underground known in some circles as sludge metal or stoner metal, Crowbar's homecoming couldn't be better-timed.
		Some of the albums to me, like the first two records really, even though I'm proud of them and I like them, but at the time, there was nothing to really break up things from song-to-song.

		He recorded a solo album in Nashville in 1968 but the material never materialized until the 'Backtrax - Best Of Robbie Lane & The Disciples' package by Pacemaker Records in 1996.
		His true solo career hit its stride in 1974 with the single "M'Lady" which was written by Brian Allen (of the group Toronto and Attic Records executive).
		In the 1980's the original version of Robbie Lane And The Disciples reunited and in the 90's Lane, Bush and Trach continue on with new members to entertain at Toronto clubs frequently.

		I'm just getting into Crowbar, and their brand new album entitled Lifesblood for the Downtrodden is my first album from this great band.
		Kirk Windstein, only original band member and mastermind of Crowbar, says about this CD that you woulnd't have expected it from a band whose early albums were musically speaking not very sophisticated.

		He was having a night off from the current Crowbar tour and seems to be pretty happy in Crowbar, as well as doing Goatwhore.
		The First impression is that some of the album is much more melodic than previous Crowbar stuff, and the opening track "Planets Collide" almost heads in the direction of Paegan Terrorism Tactics, while the intro riff to album closer "On Frozen Ground" sounds like it could have been taken from "'Kitestring".
		Despite this, the album is still very much Crowbar, and should be treat for Crowbar fans and those of you who miss acidbath.

		The bonus tracks on Spike, for example, show you an album that was very heavily arranged and produced in its earliest stages, and some songs like ‘Satellite’ and ‘This Town’ take on completely different identities.
		There’s an anecdote I love from the liner notes to Spike, where Elvis talks about being in the studio next door to Burt Bacharach and inviting him to come listen to ‘Satellite,’ which he thought was a direct lift from Bacharach’s arranging style.
		It’s basically an instrumental, and on the original album there were printed lyrics for the song.

		Kirk Windstein: “Well, once we finished up promoting the last Crowbar album I hooked up with the guys in Down and spent the best part of two and a half years recording and promoting that album.
		That was a pretty intense time and by the end of it we were all pretty much burnt out, but it was definitely time for me to concentrate on Crowbar again.
		We haven’t had a lot of good luck with labels in the past, so it was good to hook up with people who obviously know how to handle heavy music.

		Down is comprised of: Phil Anselmo (Pantera), vocals; Pepper Keenan (Corrosion of Conformity), guitar; Kirk Windstein (Crowbar) on guitar; Jimmy Bower (Eye Hate God), drums; and Rex Brown (Pantera), on bass, replacing Todd Strange (Crowbar).
		The hardest tracks on the album include “Man That Follows Hell,” “New Orleans Is A Dying Whore,” “Beautifully Depressed,” “Dog Tired,” “Ghosts Along The Mississippi,” and “The Seed,” which starts off by someone saying, “The power of the riff compels me,” before the music kicks in.
		There is no other album out there even similar to this.
