CROWBAR @ THE MARQUIS THEATER 4/14/12 DENVER-CO

“Nowhere to turn, there’s growth in pain I feel it, I pray to Satan it’s not too late for me, hard to believe on man could lose to such, All that I’ve lost can never be conceived, I have failed”

Crowbar are a heavy, aggressive, brutal and crusing sludge metal band from New Orleans. Formed by Kirk Windstein in the late 80’s, they mix doom, sludge and hardcore to create “Doomcore” full of ton-heavy riffs, eerie dark lyrics and glacier moving basslines. They’ve released several albums through the years like “Time Heals Nothing” “Obedience Thru Suffering” and “Crowbar” oppressive, bleak albums full of sadness, isolation an anger.

Also playing – Prong – industrial metal band from NYC who are touring behind their excellent new album “Carved Into Stone,” Witchburn – southern metal from Seattle and Royal Talons – psychedelic doom metal from Boulder.
