Band: Crowbar

Crowbar play downtuned, sludgy and mostly slow to mid-tempo, doomy metal. They are pioneers of the New Orleans style of fusing crushing metal with Black Sabbath and (in the case of Crowbar only very, very slight) a southern rock vibe. The band has started to incorporate a couple of more melodic tunes since "Odd Fellow´s Rest", which in my opinion is their best album. Despite numerous line-up changes Crowbar have never lost focus and managed to release albums of consistent quality over the years.
