Obedience Thru Suffering 1991 Album

Crowbar

Not to be confused with the band of the same name from Canada who authored the early 70's hit "Oh, What a Feeling", this Crowbar was/is from Louisiana and known for three things - they got airplay on Headbanger's Ball, Beavis and Butt-Head, and two of the guys in the band played with Phil Anselmo in first Down lineup. Basically, what we have here is a very depressed take on the Melvins. Kirk Windstein's lyrics and squatty-potty delivery of them speak to someone who has been suppressing a lot of inner anger and/or maybe is used to being victimized - which is sad - but combine this with the overall presentation, and horror of horrors, the main effect of this is, the listener becomes aurally numb. Or maybe just this listener?
