As per usual, I was up late last night, crying to myself and wondering why the hell Crowbar hasn’t put out a new album in half a decade. Was Down III really worth no new Crowbar for all this time? I think we all know it was not.

Somewhere along the line, the lords of New Orleans signed to E1 (seems to be happening a lot lately), and the label is set to reissue 1993’s self-titled, 1994’s Live +1 and 1995’s Time Heals Nothing. Not sure why they didn’t also pick up the debut, Obedience Thru Suffering, but life is strange sometimes.

The PR wire has specifics, and, if you look hard enough, a teaser about a new record:

Newly signed to E1 Music, sludge metal legends Crowbar will re-release three influential records, Crowbar, Live +1 and Time Heals Nothing on October 5th, 2010. With each title originally being released in the early ‘90s, this will be the first time all three records will be widely available in stores. A new Crowbar record is planned for early 2011.
