Holy Bejebus! Earth Crisis is back! One of my all-time favorite bands ever returns with their first album in 9 years entitled, To The Death, and it’s by far their heaviest material to date.
I’m sure you are recalling the nightmares that were Slither and Last Of The Sane. I implore you to try to scratch those travesties from your brain, for it seems that the band has done the same. Gone are the nu-metal overtones, clean vocals, and those silly pleather jackets. It seems that Earth Crisis took the criticism to heart from those last two outings and ditched all the negative aspects of what their music became. They even went as far to not return to the now terrible label they were apart of.
Oh, and how can I forget about the message. An Earth Crisis record wouldn’t be an Earth Crisis record without a purely pissed message about Veganism and Straightedge. You definitely still get your healthy dose of both in a way only Karl Buechner can dish it out. The title track to this album takes a cue from the title track of Gomorrah’s Season Ends and becomes the Vegan anthem for the band stating “VEGAN-FOR LIFE” in the final four bars. I’m sure you get the comparisons between the songs.
This album is so good that it makes me forget all about Slither. Normally when bands reunite after a few or even after a lot of years, a lot of fans do not want new material for fear that they’ll ruin a good thing. Well if a band is going to do a comeback album this is the type of stuff they should shoot for. This album has me excited for Earth Crisis again. Now if only they’d play a show at the TLA with Indecision and All Out War again, my life would be complete.
