Crowbar - Lifesblood For The Downtrodden (Candlelight USA)
Doomed heavy rock/doom metal with intense vocals that an aquirred taste. If anything the vocals sound gigantic. Lots of great riffing but the song writing has a lot of holes in it.
((1))) Slow-mid tempo doom metal/rock with HUGE sounding vocals the chorus drags a little but not too annoying.
((2)) Nice riffing but the chorus is real dull-too much Southern Stoner and not enough DOOM!
((((3)))) Pissed off, thudding doom rock/metal shifts from mid-tempo to slow crawl.
((((4))) Nice catchy riffing, weird vocals that don’t always ‘hit it’ but the whole of the song is worth it.
((5)) Slow, swampy hardrock, like a not-to shitty version of Alice In Chains but that ain’t sayin’ much.
(((6))) Good riffing, so-so vocals.
((7)) See above. Same deal ‘cept the vocals get a tad more annoying.
((((8)))) Oh, what a beautiful doom riff! Sloooooowww & Heavy Southern Sludge Rawk - like the Melvins on moonshine.
((9)) Too confused - are they quasi-psychedelic, sludge-rock or both?
(((10))) Slow buildup to a molasess-paced riff then thudding groove Southern Bigfoot Rawk that actually is good!
(11) Weird acoustic twangy 70’s thing. Led Zep’s “The Rain Song” song down to Nawlin’s and sung by Blackie Lawless?
