Better than Kittie and Otep combined
Graveyard Scum | the vortex | 10/06/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is their most consistent album so far and easily the best. While Karyn's voice may not be the prettiest, it's certainly the loudest, and these songs showcase the wide variety of styles she commands - screaming, growling, yelping, and her surprisingly soft, high-pitched singing voice. Overall the production is very loud and garagey, with fuzzy guitars and boomy drums and ear-shredding, slightly overdriven vocals. It's a dark, angry mix of death and doom, although it goes so far beyond the confines of those two genres that it becomes impossible to classify. It's Crisis at their best, and that's all you need to know."
Pristine Power

"I was fortunate enough to bare witness to Crisis, opening for Soulfly at The Chance in Poughkeepsie, NY. Mesmerizing and annihilating. Karyn Crisis is a force of reckoning. Animated and carried aloft by the pristine power of her band, she employs every vocal acrobatic to full extreme: from innocent little girl to wrathful Fury, and every nuance in between. Like Sheep To Slaughter is Crisis' best sounding effort by far, and a most shining achievement in the realm of heavy music. It is one of those rare CDs that you can't wait to get home from work and listen to. It is the culmination of over a decade of music from this band, drawing from every previous influence (Middle Eastern, Baroque, Death Metal), and melting it down to a brutally unrelenting tincture. Thank you Crisis, for reinforcing my undying love for heavy music."

"When it comes to metal, my tastes are pretty specific, yet I've been more than surprised quite a few times in recent memories. Crisis is one of those bands for me. I was fully ready to be let down but I wasn't, in fact since I bought Like Sheep Led To Slaughter I haven't looked back.



I was initially brought in by the cover art, which to be honest, I still don't completely know what's going on. However, the music is what kept my attention. When I think of a heavy band I think of in-your-face riffs, intense vocals, some double bass drumming, you know, the norm. However, Crisis doesn't seem to be afraid to experiment with the light to heavy brand of music. The melody they show throughout this CD is wonderful and actually only adds to the overall experience, such is the case with The Fate.



Karyn Crisis is unlike any female singer (well, screamer) I've heard recently. Her screams are reminescent of a bit more intense version of Wayne Static of Static-X, yet when she sings, she doesn't sound like anyone else. As for the rest of the band, I would write them off as being a typical metal band but when you hear how well they set a mood and how well they keep up with Karyn, it's hard to do that. So ultimately Crisis is just a great band.



My favorite songs are A Graveyard For B*tches, Politics Of Domination, Rats In A Maze, Secrets Of The Prison House, and Study In Cancer. Crisis erased any doubt I had going in, they have successfully turned me into a fan. Sure there's one or two lackluster moments but even your greatest bands have that burden, there's no doubt that Crisis is something special and I can only kick myself for not knowing about them sooner."
