CROWBAR’s most recent studio offering, the critically acclaimed Zero And Below, was released in April 2022 via MNRK Heavy. Produced, mixed, and mastered by Duane Simoneaux at OCD Recording And Production in Metairie, Louisiana, Zero And Below is the band’s most unforgivably doom-driven record since their 1998 landmark effort, Odd Fellows Rest.

CROWBAR was created in 1990 from the ashes of The Slugs! Original members Kirk Windstein and Jimmy Bower (Down, Eyehategod) had a vision to move away from the trendier thrash sound of that time, and create their own brand of doom metal with a bit of upbeat hardcore mixed in. Heavily influenced by The Melvins, Carnivore, Trouble, Saint Vitus and a blend of Black Sabbath meets East Coast Hardcore.

CROWBAR set out to create an original sound which has become influential to many bands over the last 36 years. Windstein is the only original member and has helped carry the band through numerous lineups and twelve critically acclaimed albums.

Watch THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE’s recently released video for the record’s title track HERE.

THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE will unleash their pulverizing eighth full-length, The Dead Ones, on April 17th. Intense and intensely personal, The Dead Ones marks the band’s Metal Blade Records debut. Produced by Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland of Pennsylvania’s Atrium Audio, with their latest offering the band focused on the guitar, bass, and drum tones as well as the mix/master to achieve what guitarist Wyatt McLaughlin calls, “a super-thick sonic output and ‘rolling-tank’-like feel.”

The Dead Ones was recorded with a six-string baritone Viper from ESP-LTD tuned to Drop F, the same tuning used on the band’s 2012 Warpath EP. To elevate the intensity, the band also used an Earthquaker Devices Sunn O))) and Keeley Octa Psi drop tune pedal on certain sections. The record also includes four stellar guests: “Make It To Heaven” includes David Simonich of Signs Of The Swarm, Nate Johnson (ex-Fit For An Autopsy) appears on “Rat Trap,” “Dollar To A Dime” has Alan Grnja of Distant, and “XXXXXXXXXX” features original THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE vocalist Storm Strope.

The Dead Ones will be released on CD and digital formats as well as vinyl in the following color variants:

Tan Smoke (US)
Purple Marble (US)
Grey Black Marbled (EU – Ltd. 300)

Snowmageddon 2026: Record Breaking Snowfall and My Birthday Freeze 🥶

Posted in Heavy Metal, news, Weather Forecast, winter with tags , , , , , , on January 26, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

My dog Ozzy, buried up to his elbows, doing his thang. He actually loves the snow!

It’s January 26, 2026, the day after a record breaking snow storm hit the majority of our country in some manner. Today is also my birthday and Snowmageddon continues. Despite the snow no longer falling, numerous backroads, parking lots and neighborhoods everywhere are not even plowed yet, as of 8:50 AM.

Here in Dayton, Ohio and the surrounding area, there are cars, trucks and 18 wheel haulers stranded and abandoned. The current temperature right now is 5 degrees Fahrenheit. I don’t want to even know the wind chill temperature. 🥶

From: WHIO Channel 7 – Dayton, Ohio

The previous Dayton, Ohio record of 12.2” of single-day snow fell back on January 26, 1978. What is it about my birthday and record breaking snow amounts? Bizarre!

My car is going absolutely nowhere.

Factor in that there is and will be monster sized snowbanks at every twist and turn until at least the beginning of March and Spring weather cannot arrive soon enough! The extended forecast doesn’t bode well either. Tomorrow’s temperature is predicted to be -10 degrees Fahrenheit!! That’s MINUS 10!! With a wind chill of -23F!!

From: WHIO Channel 7 – Dayton, Ohio

I don’t recall experiencing this type of freezing weather in ALL of my life and I’ve also lived in historically harsh winter states such as Connecticut and Pennsylvania. The extreme freezing temperatures are forecasted to last past the first week of February. Bollocks to it all!

I’m still grateful and feel blessed to have a warm home, health, family, friends, food, Metal and of course my dog Ozzy. I’m not complaining, just reporting the situation surrounding another birthday in my life’s journey. Thank you for visiting and reading my story; it’s appreciated! Stay safe, warm and Metal be thy name. – Stone
