Crowbar, the American doom/sludge rock band from Louisiana, has been a prominent figure in the music scene since its inception in 1989. Named after the Crowbar group in New Orleans, the band, led by Kirk Windstein, is known for its slow, hardcore sound and brooding lyrics.
The band’s early days were marked by the release of their debut album, “Obedience Through Suffering,” in 1991, which did not gain widespread recognition. However, by the time they released their self-titled album in 1993, produced by Phil Anselmo of Pantera, the band started to see success with national promotion on MTV’s Headbanger’s Ball.
As Crowbar’s popularity grew, they embarked on major tours with Pantera and produced more albums, showcasing their heavy sound and intense stage presence. The band’s lineup evolved over the years, with Kirk Windstein remaining as the sole original member, maintaining the band’s signature sound and style.
