Tickets available locally at Diamond W Western Wear.Bio:New Orleans heavy metal institution Crowbar combines the doomy heft of Black Sabbath, the intense riffage of Pantera, and the intricate progressions of Metallica. Alongside Eyehategod, Soilent Green, Acid Bath, and Down, the group helped establish the NOLA sludge metal movement in the 1990s. Plunging into the mainstream in 1993 with their acclaimed eponymous sophomore effort, Crowbar has spent three decades at the fore of the scene, issuing uncompromising slabs of sonic devastation like Odd Fellows Rest (1998), Equilibrium (2000), Sever the Wicked Hand (2011), and Zero and Below (2022) that stand at the nexus of sludge, stoner, and doom metal.Crowbar emerged in the late 80s with a lineup featuring vocalist/guitarist Kirk Windstein, guitarist Matt Thomas, bassist Todd Strange, and drummer Craig Nunemacher. Once known as the Slugs, the groups slow, grinding, heavy sound drew comparisons both vocally and musically to Pantera, the Melvins and Tad. Debuting in 1991 with Obedience Thru Suffering, Crowbar subsequently signed to Pavement Music and released their eponymous sophomore LP. Produced by Panteras Phil Anselmo, the album included the singles All I Had (I Gave) and Existence Is Punishment, both of which appeared on MTVs Headbangers Ball and the adult animated comedy Beavis s Time Heals Nothing, Nunemacher left the group and was replaced by Jimmy Bower, the rhythm guitarist for kindred spirits Eyehategod. Bower also played drums in , a side project for Phil Anselmo and Corrosion of Conformitys Pepper Keenan that featured Crowbars Windstein and Strange. Guitarist Sammy Pierre Duet, formerly of Acid Bath, joined up for 1996s Broken Glass following the departure of original guitarist Thomas. Bower elected to refocus on Eyehategod after playing on 1998s doomy, Spitfire-issued Odd Fellows Rest and was replaced by drummer Sid Montz for 2000s Equilibrium. That association proved short-lived, though; original drummer Nunemacher rejoined later that year when bassist Strange retired. Jeff Okoneski stepped in on bass, making his first appearance on 2001s critically acclaimed Sonic Excess in Its Purest Form.Another round of lineup changes saw Duet drummer Tony Costanza, and Okoneski leave the group in exchange for guitarist Steve Gibb, drummer Tommy Buckley, and bassist Pat Bruders.Crowbar returned in 2005 with Lifes Blood for the Downtrodden, which was dedicated to the memory of Pantera and Damageplan guitarist Dimebag Darrell , who died shortly after the band had recorded the LP. In 2011 the group released the ferocious Sever the Wicked Hand, and three years later, the sludgy Symmetry in Black. The Serpent Only Lies, the bands 11th studio long-player, appeared in 2016, and in 2020, Windstein issued his debut solo album Dream in Motion. 2022 saw the release of Crowbars 12th full-length outing, Zero and Below. Released by MNRK Heavy (formerly eOne Music), the doomy and melodic ten-track set included the muscular single Chemical Godz.
