Leader Kirk Windstein was dealing with Down, membership was in flux, and Crowbar's infamous label woes were a constant headache.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut the long-running New Orleans sludge metal outfit wasn't going to go out like that, and Windstein started the resuscitation process in summer 2003. He tapped original drummer Craig Nunemacher, and Pantera vet Rex Brown offered to handle bass and production. Down II producer Warren Riker also signed on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result was \u003cem\u003eLifesblood for the Downtrodden\u003c\/em\u003e, a typically pummeling tribute to the Art of the Riff, but an album that also found new methods of mayhem. Windstein's vocals never waver from a raging and vengeful wronged-soul growl, but his guitar work searches out tense melodies amidst the animalistic main riffs, and Nunemacher and Brown are relentlessly rhythmic without sacrificing dynamics. \u003cem\u003eLifesblood for the Downtrodden\u003c\/em\u003e was an album to change minds about Crowbar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 New Dawn\u003cbr\u003e2 Slave No More\u003cbr\u003e3 Angels Wings\u003cbr\u003e4 Coming Down\u003cbr\u003e5 Fall Back to Zero\u003cbr\u003e6 Underworld\u003cbr\u003e7 Dead Sun\u003cbr\u003e8 Holding Something\u003cbr\u003e9 Moon\u003cbr\u003e10 The Violent Reaction\u003cbr\u003e11 Lifesblood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47940826857646,"sku":"5401148006087","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6118\/0334\/files\/cblb.jpg?v=1780525583","url":"https:\/\/morrowrecords.com\/products\/crowbar-lifesblood-for-the-downtrodden-2lp","provider":"Morrow Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
