Estados Unidos / 1996 / Death Metal
Crisis are from New York, and they produce a manic hurricane of sound. You've probably never heard another metal band that sounds like this: death metal chopcore with a vocalist who sounds alternately possessed, like Sinead O'Connor, and like Yoko Ono. If the dearth of females fronting death metal bands has ever bothered you, Caryn Crisis's performance on Deathshead Extermination will certainly be the answer to your hopes and dreams. Crisis push the boundaries of this particular genre further than just about any other group I've heard. The songs are rarely predictable, and the production (by Steve McCallister and guitarist Afzaal Nasiruddeen) will flatten you. Just when it seems as if metal has effectively reached all possible extremes, a band like Crisis comes along and shakes everything up. Deathshead Extermination is a brutal, beautiful album that offers another dimension of head-splitting chaos and noise.
