Crowbar

New Orleans‑born sludge metal outfit Crowbar has forged a reputation for crushing, downtuned riffs and bleak, introspective lyrics since the early ’90s. Their sound blends slow‑burning heaviness with moments of melodic melancholy, anchored by Phil Anselmo‑era vocal grit and a relentless rhythm section. The band is famed for punishing live performances that deliver visceral weight and raw energy, often turning smaller clubs into thunderous experiences. Fans praise their ability to sustain intensity throughout lengthy sets, cementing a loyal following in the underground metal community. Crowbar will embark on a 19‑date North American and European tour beginning July 31, 2026 at Zaklęte Rewiry in Wroclaw, Poland. The leg continues through September and October with shows at venues such as House of Blues Chicago, The Fillmore Silver Spring, and The Masquerade‑Heaven in Atlanta, before concluding with a two‑night run at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California on November 13‑14.
