001. Crowpath - s/t 5"
(out of print)
I fell madly in love with Crowpath the first time I heard "I, the arsonist".
I must've listened to that song twenty times in a row in the hour after I first
downloaded it, I just couldn't get enough! The next day an e-mail was sent (downloads and e-mails, it's the computer age - get over it!)
and I asked them to do a record with me and after only a few threats, they agreed.
It's been a long time since I heard something as brutal and powerful as this band, the madness is just relentless. If
you somehow manage to catch your breath after a song of theirs, it's not long before the
band comes crashing down on you again with their following two and a half-minute piece of chaos.
On this record they offer two new songs with a bit more groove than
on their previous 7" (Scorched Earth Policy)
but proving once again that violence can be fun.
Notes:
Problems with the cover delayed this record for a couple of months. Prior to the current
design there were three different suggestions that weren't used due to a variety of reasons. I stole the color scheme from the menu of our local pizzaplace
(Da Mario - forever in my heart) and the idea for the packaging came to me one sleepless night at around 4 am.
The design was executed by Alex of
Starscreamer.
A misunderstanding with the printers led to only half the amount of covers being printed and after
that I decided that there weren't going to be any future pressings. The songs have been remastered and put on a CD compiling the band's early
material, released by Robotic Empire. Check out the Crowpath website.
