CROWBAR (NOLA, USA) - Zero And Below (sealed LP copy) (2022) Sky Blue Grey & White vinyl (Indie store exclusive) ~NONE HEAVIER~ Crowbar songs are unapologetic emotional outpourings, with a bare-knuckle resolve alongside its soul-searching vulnerability, reliably delivered with crushing heaviness. 
Zero and Below, which cements the band’s dense catalog as exactly one dozen studio albums deep, is the most unforgivably Doom-laden Crowbar record since their landmark 1998 effort, Odd Fellows Rest. Zero and Below is reverently Old-School, counterbalanced by a resonant melodicism that’s stunningly mature. 
Songs like “Chemical Gods,” “Bleeding From Every Hole,” and “It’s Always Worth The Gain” demonstrate what Crowbar does better than any other band: powerful, evocative, and crushingly heavy music. eOne Music - EOM-LP46208
