Destroy the Machines tour Kansas City 1995

From The 1995 tour with Guilt and Damnation AD. When I first watched this Karl was doing something he never does, one of my pet peeves in hardcore. Singing with his back to the audience. I thought was strange Karl knows better than that. After Born from Pain he says he can't hear the vocals on stage. Ahhh I see.

Open with my favorite set opener song. Videos from this era are rare, Keep them coming!

Earth Crisis playing Against the current in LA with Andy Hurley

Firestorm record release show video

So I have video of this from the crowd with better sound. But it is on VHS, so it doesn't help those of you on the internets. I wrote an entire essay about this show on the Stuck in the past blog which I will link to at the bottom of this post. It was a decade and half ago, i forgot a few bands Conviction for one,but I got most of the experience in the essay.

This was probably one of the single greatest hardcore shows I ever went to. Earth crisis, Outspoken, chokehold, Bloodlet, Green Rage, Conviction...

Update on The book project

Hey EC fans,

Sorry I've been quiet of late. I'm still working on Forged in the Flames, I got delayed by some projects that I hope will in the end benefit Forged and in the end bring more readers to the Earth Crisis Story. Nothing is offcial ye, when it is I'll post here and on Facebook.

Earth Crisis has been on the road in the last year promoting the badass reunion album "To the Death." A full U.S. tour, Europe, Australia and Japan. It's an exciting time for true EC fans. So I'll leave you with this video of Against the Current from their shows last month in Japan.

I also want to take a second to write something about this song. When I first got 'To the death' I loved it. as unpopular as this opinion is I thought it was as strong or stronger than Destroy the machines. But I thought the single/video track "to ashes" and "Against the Current" the other song released on myspace were the weakest two songs on the album. I worried about these songs starting off a record that I thought had it's strongest moments on Track 8,11 and 4.

I expressed my feelings about these songs to Karl and Scott, before I watched them play in San Francisco last may. I even told Karl i thought it sounded like "Snapcase trying to be Path of Resistance." Karl laughed at that. After hearing the song live it grew on me. Them I started to pay attention to how the song is arranged. Musically the song has alot of interesting things going on. Drums most of all. Song grew on me...

EXC Has a good tour in Japan 1/2010 (Possible U.S. tour!)

Here is what EXC had to say on myspace...

Japan was a blast! Thanks to Daiki, Koba, Dai and First Blood for helping to make it awesome! Some stand out moments were Pump Up The Volume Fest, going to a vegan bakery in Tokyo and heated toilet seats!!! Next up, trying to plan a U.S. tour for April/May. Ugh!!

This is my favorite video so far, forced March from the Pump up the volume fest. the qaulity is fantastic. Big thanks to Japanese EC fans who had these videos up before Karl and Erick made it back to the cuse. What's up Australia? Not one video Chile and Japan had videos up almost the next day!

Hell on earth tour videos showing up

Started to find some videos from the current EC tour in europe. I have heard from some european hardcore friends that they were unhappy with the line-up of bands that EC toured with this time. It's too bad it looks like they have a good set with more material off To the Death. Last time I caught EC I wanted more of the new album. Not sure which country this was filmed in but I think it's eastern Europe. Set opener against the current into All out war.

'Forged' Live in San Fran '09

So this was the last EC show I was at. This has great audio, you can hear your faithful blog editor hog the mic at the 1:05 mark. You can see some Portland kids representing if you know where to look. Davey from AFI was singing along as well. Fun show.

Earth Crisis At Chain Reaction may 09

So I like this video because you can see all the players, also Christopher the singer of 7 generations (excellent new Vegan Straight edge band out of southern California) singing along during born from pain. The next song is to the death off the new album but the video cuts off before the amazing "Vegan for Life" sing along. Too bad.

I've got my eye out for Aussie footage and will post song as soon as I find it. EC is still down there if you reading this down under.
