This debut from the politically outspoken straight edge outfit Earth Crisis had a huge impact on the American hardcore and metal scenes. Originally released on the tiny independent Conviction Records in 1992, the All Out War EP was eventually released nationally in 1995 on Victory Records. While not nearly as accomplished as the group's later recordings, All Out War is a very direct and ambitious collection. What would become familiar themes of veganism and animal rights are given prominent placement in both the artwork and lyrics. The revolutionary straight edge message is strongly pronounced as the group rips through scathing sonic attacks on all they consider wrong with humanity: animal cruelty, the establishment, and general cultural trends toward laziness and greed. Led by vocalist Karl Buechner, Earth Crisis sound uneven at times, as the no doubt tightly budgeted recording reveals some wavering drum and guitar performances, but, of course, that's exactly where the charm lies in early career efforts like this one. The leadoff title track doesn't suffer at all from any neophyte sloppiness and certainly stands out as a hardcore classic as well as one of the best tracks of the group's career. The three remaining songs are solid, but unspectacular. Earth Crisis definitely improved as a songwriting and recording outfit as their career progressed, so new listeners might not need to pick this disc up first. Fans of the group will be very interested in All Out War, if not for its urgent and passionate music, then simply for its historical value as an important straight edge document. ~ Vincent Jeffries Earth Crisis All Out War Songs All Out War Review

All Out War album
 $5.95 
Firestorm is a defining recording for Earth Crisis as well as '90s hardcore. Though not necessarily breaking new ground, it did codify a new-school sound that owed as much to metal as it did to Minor Threat. In terms of themes and ideology, Firestorm confirms Earth Crisis' own identity -- militantly straight edge in the face of an apocalyptic-dystopian world. The musical arrangements often come off as extended mosh parts, the chugging open chords that announce the disc setting a focused, unrelenting ...
| | Earth Crisis Destroy The Machines CD (1995)
All Out War CD music
$11.39 
Focused and extremely heavy, Destroy the Machines represented a huge leap forward in the recording career of Earth Crisis. Released in 1995, this full-length debut from the band is the all-time best-selling disc in the Victory Records catalog, and with good reason. After recording a few successful but relatively tame 7" EPs, Earth Crisis really shook the world of hardcore with this punchy collection of metallic straight edge fury. Displaying a rare talent for the development of original yet supremely heavy riffs, the men of Earth Crisis brought a musical directness to Destroy the Machines that easily ...

| | Earth Crisis Slither CD (2000) Enhanced CD
All Out War songs
$13.05
The problem with Slither is that it is not challenging. The music is heavy and well played, a synthesis between the band's early-'90s hardcore roots and the "new metal" of Korn and the Deftones. However, nothing particularly stands out about it. Devices such as melodic choruses and breaks stand out at first but fall into over-use as the disc plays onward. The group's conviction is admirable as always, though, and Slither will probably not disappoint longtime fans. ...
| | Minor Threat Complete Discography CD (1988)
All Out War album
$10.65   
The Washington, D.C. straightedge hardcore punk scene began with Minor Threat. The band recorded two LPs on its own Dischord label, plus an EP and the miscellaneous singles that are collected on this CD. Many of the early recordings on this collection seethe with teen-age angst and indignation. The songs rage against bullies, religious hypocrisy, and the herd mentality.
Other songs, taken from later in Minor Threat's career, feature tighter and more sophisticated playing. Metallic flourishes tinge the guitar work, vocal harmonies abound, and song dynamics vary more than on the earlier record. On certain songs, Ian MacKaye's lyrics address the complexities of friendship, loyalty, and self-expression. "Look Back and Laugh," "Little Friend," and "It Follows" all incline more toward introspection and ambiguity; conveying loss and sadness in addition to outrage. This second set of songs seems to especially anticipate MacKaye's later work with Fugazi. The album also contains a few playful numbers like the sing-along cover of "Stepping ...

All Out War music CDs
$17.15
For the most part, black metal creators Venom have been issuing albums and/or touring in some form or another since their inception. But one brief hiatus occurred in the early to mid-'90s -- which resulted in singer/bassist Cronos issuing a handful of solo albums. With Cronos fronting a whole new lineup of Venom and recording/touring on a regular basis in the early 21st century, the double-disc compilation Hell to the Unknown was issued in 2006. Collecting all of Cronos' solo tracks, Hell to the Unknown includes a total of three albums -- Dancing in the Fire, Rock 'n' Roll Disease, and Venom -- with the first ...
