Lifesblood for the Downtrodden is a sonic testimonial to the determination, spirit and sheer creativity of a band very much at a continuing upswing of musical output. The album's eleven new songs showcase not only Crowbar's highly regarded sound but lyrically find them at their best. Produced by Rex Brown (Pantera) and Warren Riker (Corrosion of Conformity, Down), it finds guitarist/vocalist Kirk Windstein, guitarist Steve Gibb, bassist Pat Bruders, and drummer Tommy Buckley (with additional performances from Rex Brown, Craig Nunenmacher, and Sid Montz) in top form and concludes a three-year silence.
