2.0 out of 5 stars What happened?, June 11, 2001

This review is from: Slither * [ECD] (Audio CD)

What the heck happened to one of my all time favorite Hardcore bands? Once a tough, growling, ripping S**T up band, now a metal, melodic, rappy band!! Sure this is album is solid, well if you review it as itself and not compare it to past EC releases. Guitars are very well done, trading licks and riffs back and for. Bulldog is tough on bass, pounding away with hardcore fury. Drumming is sick as usual. But here is the bad part. Karl once a great hardcore singer.....raps and sings. This is not Earth Crisis, i really dont know what made them take this path...maybe they thought this would make them a huge band..Well they were huge, well,in the hardcore scene. I give the 2 stars for the effort and for the great artwork on the CD. If you want classic EC, buy "All Out War", "Firestorm" or "Destroy The Machines". My personal favorite is "Gommorah Season Ends" which is a hardcore classic.

3.0 out of 5 stars Earth Crisis - 'Slither' (Victory), September 1, 2005

Problem with 'Slither' is that it doesn't cover any new ground.I mean,it's on okay release by the metal band,just nothing special.Noticed that mainman Karl Buechner has toned down his rather menacing growl to include cleaner vocal arrangements.That COULD actually work here.Tunes like "Loss Of Humanity",title cut "Slither","Biomachines" and "Hair Trigger" appear to be decently penned out.See what you think.Might appeal to some fans of Fear Factory,Korn,Machine Head and Biohazard.

I will start this review off by admitting that I haven't been into Earth Crisis that long, only a year or two. I bought "Breed the Killers" and was impressed with the music overall, but I HATED the vocals. "Slither" makes a huge improvement in that department. Karl sings a little more and "raps" a little (I dont think its rapping, it's more like the way Tom Araya from Slayer sounds), along with his usual roars. This time though, the roars are a little bit more understandable and more bearable to me, because of the fact that he doesn't do them the whole time. The music is also a little more melodic, though still very heavy. It isn't as dark and heavy as "Breed the Killers", but still heavy and good in it's own way. My only complaints are: 1. Karl only sounds good sometimes when he sings, and if he can't sound good the whole time, he shouldn't do it at all. 2. "Behind the Wire" is a different version from the Victory Records sampler, the one on the Victory sampler was a million times better in every possible way. Overall, an good record, I just hope they make the right changes and make the next one better.
