First new song by Earth Crisis in almost 8 years, and surprisingly, its pretty good! Its called 'To Ashes' and its about burning down meth labs, which is something I think we can all get behind. Hopefully the rest of the album will sound like this. Check it out:

One of the most anticipated and talked about reunions of 2008 was without a doubt the reformation of EARTH CRISIS. The pioneers of the hardcore, straight edge movement have now officially made the decision to carry on with the band fulltime and are proud to announce a new worldwide deal with Century Media Records. The group have crafted their most angst ridden and unrelenting offering of their already stellar career and this effort is going to serve as a much needed wake up call to the masses.
The blistering new effort, To The Death, was self produced with the acclaimed Tue Madsen (Sick of It All, August Burns Red) handling mixing and mastering duties. The band has also partnered with PETA and plan to stay active within the animal liberation scene. With extensive touring planned and a new record on the way, EARTH CRISIS are set to remind you what hardcore is all about.
The Syracuse NY-based quintet EARTH CRISIS’ chugging riffs and barked declarations served as the mouthpiece of America's militant vegan, straight-edge movement throughout the '90s, detailing the ideas of animal and human liberation, drug-free living, and personal empowerment through hardcore song. This movement spawned activists who took the law into their own hands, burning down fur farms and freeing animals directly. Their vicious debut EP, Firestorm, was a landmark release for the hardcore scene that combined staccato, solo-free metal with barking, political, and militant vocals. The lyrics centered around the dangers of drug abuse and bringing "violence against violence" to drug dealers and those who would abuse animals: "a firestorm to purify."
EARTH CRISIS’ message of human, animal and environmental liberation has caused shockwaves that resonated beyond the music industry. They have received national media coverage on CNN (Earth Matters), TBS, FOX (America's Most Wanted), CBS (48 Hours), MTV (Music News) and ABC (World News Tonight). Charismatic vocalist Karl Buechner has spoken in front of members of Congress about teens and substance abuse. EARTH CRISIS epitomizes commitment, fortitude, and resilience and is an established and embraced trademark in the international metal, hardcore and punk communities.
EARTH CRISIS has continued along this path of breaking new ground, constantly working and reaching more people spreading their message to the masses. In 1996, the band released their second full-length album, Gomorrah's Season Ends, a polished and decidedly more metallic affair that produced even more anthems that became sing along worthy staples of their live performances. This exposed the band to a whole new mainstream audience. Their relentless touring has put them in front of countless national and international audiences - from the U.S. to Canada, to Europe, Japan and South America. In October 1999, they played Bogota, Columbia's Rock al Parque Festival for over 120,000 people. They have toured with bands ranging from Sepultura, Misfits, and Downset, to Snapcase, Madball and Skarhead. In 1996, they even appeared on the first ever Ozzfest along with the accompanying live CD and video that resulted from the event.
Buechner’s astounding range and vocal depth has positioned him as one of the strongest voices in rock. The musical backbone of the band has never been stronger from both songwriting and musicianship perspectives. Guitarists Scott Crouse and Erick Edwards’ sometimes pulverizing and jagged, sometimes soothing sonic barrages round out the musical savagery. Bassist Ian Edwards and drummer Dennis Merrick provide the most calculated, spontaneous and convincing percussion backdrop in hard music today. Physically the band is in its best condition ever and is determined to take over every stage, audience, and venue that they invade. In 2009, EARTH CRISIS prepares to unleash a firestorm of epic proportions proving that their message is more viable than ever.

Well think about it this way. Historically there are 2 kinds of straightedge kids.
1. The posi stage dive kids that brainlessly ate up anything Youth of Today told them to do, looked down on people, then went to college and broke edge.
2. The bandana over the face, "there is a war, this is a weapon" kids that 20/20 loved to talk about that eventually brainlessly bought anything the 7th Dagger true til 21 culture told them to... that eventually went to college and broke edge.
The latter of that pair is a lot more prevalent, and marketable. Earth Crisis really did kind of lead the way for them. IMO.

I would be so psyched if I could find the picture from "Teenagers and their Bedrooms" of 16-year old Karl with long pink hair, standing on his bed with his arms crossed (and a Budweiser poster on the wall).

You can't be a token edge dude unless you have an Earth Crisis tatbeard.

Wow, that sounds nothing like Earth Crisis to me. Just sounds like every Metallic hardcore band out there.
[Feb 25,2009 7:54pm - SkinSandwich ""]
gay band.
[Feb 25,2009 7:59pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""]
I expected the new song to sound like something off of that piece of shit they put out called "Slither," but surprisingly it's far from that bad. It's definitely not what I'd WANT out of Earth Crisis, but I wouldn't find it conceivable that they'd be able to create anything as good as the "classic" material. So, I can dig it. It could have been a lot worse.
[Feb 25,2009 8:08pm - Kevord ""]
It's what I like to refer to as post - Hatebreed hardcore.

This sounds like the next logical step from what they sounded like on dstroy the machines to slither

Why kinda? They jumped the shit out of that shark. Gomorrah's Season had 2 maybe 3 redeemable songs on it. Breed the Killers was forgettable at best. Slither was an atrocity. This is the first release I've heard from them since, and I wish I hadn't.
