Crowbar have played shows with some pretty brutal bands over the years: Morbid Angel, Napalm Death, EyeHateGod, Pantera at their gnarliest… But when it comes to witnessing utter carnage, nothing tops the time they played Philadelphia’s This Is Hardcore festival in July 2014.
“It looked like somebody had been sliced to bits with a fuckin’ chainsaw,” Crowbar vocalist, guitarist and founder Kirk Windstein recalls. “There was blood everywhere, all these guys lying around with broken noses, black eyes. Some guy broke his neck during our set! If you can win that crowd over, you’re good.”
