CRISIS
"Like
Sheep Led to Slaughter" (The End; 2004)
Reviewed by Snidermann
If you ask me, there's nothing sexier than a female rocker: Ann and Nancy Wilson, Pat Benetar, Otep Shamaya and now, Karyn Crisis.
Of course, it takes more than sexiness to make a great rock'n'roll band and Crisis has all the makings of an outstanding group: character, drive, charisma and a killer aggressive sound that I liked from the very first track. This CD is packed with loud, in-your-face metal and puts Crisis on the list of today's A-list of the best up-and-coming metal bands.
Karyn's voice is intense and haunting and it drives this recording relentlessly. Combined with an astounding songwriting ability and also a first-rate musical line-up makes Crisis the real deal. "Like Sheep to Slaughter" is a solid, no-holds-barred metal performance.
Crisis: Karyn Crisis - vocals; Afzall Nasiruddeen - guitar; Jwyanza Hobson - guitar; Gia Chuan Wang - bass; Josh Florian - drums.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
