Were Kirk Windstein's ears ringing? Moments after posting about the new Down EP, we get an email about a new Crowbar full-length.
Kirk, of course, decided to leave Down to focus his efforts on his main gig. Today the band announced they'll be releasing Symmetry in Black on May 27, 2014 via eOne.
The album was produced by Kirk and Duane Simoneaux and was mixed by Josh Wilbur (he of Lamb of God fame).
I'm really excited to hear this record. I really enjoyed their last release, 2011's Sever The Wicked Hand, and with this year being the band's 25th anniversary, I'm sure they have something special in store for us. Kirk states in the press release:
"We are so proud and excited about what we have accomplished with this record! The focus, determination and attitude in the band is at an all time high. We are 100% ready to get this Juggernaut rolling and never touch the breaks again. Crowbar will not be stopped!"
"Crowbar is my heart and soul. The music is a part of me that I am extremely proud of. It's an amazing feeling to be putting all of my energy & focus into something that I created 25 years ago! We are extremely excited to release our 10th full length & to bring the riffs to as many people as possible on tour. See you on the road!"
Now all we need is some US tour dates!
