Crisis was born and bred in the New York hardcore scene, but there is an equal amount of metal in their music. However, this is not one of your typical metalcore bands of today – Crisis is not afraid to get experimental. Crisis’ music is based on heavy guitar and bass riffs that pound like a rhythmic headache. This throbbing sound is very infectious, and you won’t be able to get songs like “A Graveyard for Bitches” and “Blood Burden” out of your head. The absence guitar solos may get a bit boring, but Crisis compensates with unique song structures that ensure that the tracks are never too repetitive.
Karyn Crisis has a very unique and varied vocal style that includes an angelic clean voice, spoken passages, an agonized and strained singing voice, and an impressive death metal growl. Some listeners maintain that Crisis would be a better band if Karyn focused on one vocal style. However, others believe that the vocal experimentation conveys a wider range of emotion and, coupled with the apocalyptic lyrics, makes the sound that much more impressive.
Everyone who has listened to Crisis seems to either love them or hate them. Even if this album doesn’t resonate with you at first, take another listen. You may just have missed some of the finer points of Crisis.
