Crowbar is an American sludge metal band that has become synonymous with heavy, downtuned guitar riffs and a crushing sound that embodies the darker side of metal. Formed in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1990 by frontman and lead guitarist Kirk Windstein, Crowbar quickly made its mark on the metal scene by blending the intensity of doom metal with the hardcore punk aggression, thereby forging a unique sonic identity. Their music, often characterized as 'sludge' due to its thick, viscous sound and deliberate tempos, taps into themes of despair, defiance, and personal struggle, all delivered with Windstein's guttural, emotive vocals.

Over the years, Crowbar has maintained a consistent presence in the heavy music world, with a discography that showcases a commitment to evolving their weighty sound without losing the edge that has earned them a dedicated following. Albums like "Time Heals Nothing" (1995) and "Symmetry In Black" (2014) demonstrate the band's devotion to sonic power while exploring varied textures and lyrical depth. Their latest offering, "Zero And Below," continues the tradition of impactful and resonant music, underscoring their status as pioneers in their genre. This consistency, coupled with their ability to produce setlist classics such as "The Cemetery Angels" and "Walk With Knowledge Wisely," affirms Crowbar's indelible mark on metal and their role as stalwarts of sludge.
