"Crisis- A woman's scream against a wall of uncompromising sound. A scream that rams its head against that wall and at the same time climbs over the top and claims those solid musical structures as her conquered prison cell. It is this struggle for cathartic release that can either bring about murder, madness, and utter destruction; or as in the case of CRISIS, it can bring about a force of positive energy that is their music. With an it's-time-to-take-over-and-be-heard mindset, CRISIS and their music are scathingly unmerciful in their reaction against the mediocrity and conformity that dominate the music world of regurgitated, male-dominated already-done-befores. The gender conflicts, the good and the evil, the burning and the rebuilding, this band's crisis consists of all this… from the minds of musicians whose work comes truly tearing out of their souls." With this began Crisis career and dark beauty. Their first demo was called "home" and was produced and engineered by Steve McAllister. Steve McAllister has also worked with Swans, Prong, and Corrosion of Confomity.
