      <title>Earth Crisis: : PREMIERES MUSIC VIDEO WITH AOL NOISECREEP </title>
      <description>EARTH CRISIS PREMIERES MUSIC VIDEO WITH AOL NOISECREEP 


Hardcore veterans EARTH CRISIS have teamed up with AOL Noisecreep to premiere the music video for "Total War".  This captivating track is from the band's latest effort Neutralize The Threat which was released earlier this year and can be purchased here.  "This time around we wanted to try and document the vibe of the band live, as opposed to try and tell a story through the video." Says guitarist Scott Crouse.  "Matt Spencer and crew did a great job of capturing the feel of a small, more intimate, Earth Crisis show."

The music video for "Total War" can be seen &lt;a href="http://www.noisecreep.com/2011/10/05/earth-crisis-total-war-video/"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;. 

The video captures a look at an intimidate performance, but those craving a full on live experience from EARTH CRISIS will not have to wait long.  The band set out on the road yesterday to begin their tour with Cavalera Conspiracy and Otep.  A full list of dates can be seen below.

      <title>Earth Crisis: : NEW ALBUM "NEUTRALIZE THE THREAT" ONLINE AND IN STORES NOW; CD GIVEAWAY CONTEST LAUNCHED ON PETA2</title>
      <description>EARTH CRISIS' NEW ALBUM "NEUTRALIZE THE THREAT" ONLINE AND IN STORES NOW; CD GIVEAWAY CONTEST LAUNCHED ON PETA2

EARTH CRISIS' new album "Neutralize The Threat" is now available online and in stores, so be sure to pick up your copy! In regards to their new hardcore release, EARTH CRISIS commented:

"We are very happy with how 'Neutralize The Threat' came out. Musically, it resembles the song structures on 'To The Death', but with a 'Gomorah's Season Ends' vibe thrown in. Every song is lyrically inspired by real-life vigilante actions that have taken place around the globe. The topics range from The Black Panther Party to Bernard Goetz and we think it's an original lyrical concept for the band, while also retaining some subject matter we are known for dealing with in the past. Zeuss is the man and definitely delivered the best sounding record we have ever had! We can't wait for you guys to hear it!"

      <title>Earth Crisis: : REVEAL 'NEUTRALIZE THE THREAT' COVER ART</title>
      <description>EARTH CRISIS REVEAL 'NEUTRALIZE THE THREAT' COVER ART

EARTH CRISIS have scheduled their hardest hitting piece of work in recent memory, 'Neutralize the Threat' for a July 12th release date. The most controversial band in hardcore also teamed with artist Ryan Clark to create the artwork surrounding the latest album culminating in the outstanding cover that is pictured here . Ryan had the following to say:

"Earth Crisis was a seminal band for me. When I was introduced to hardcore, EC was a band that seemed to stand out from the rest. Their unique blend of metal and hardcore made me an instant fan. I remember many EC shows in the mid nineties, climbing atop the crowd, pointing at Karl, screaming "Street by street! Block by block!"
 
These guys are partly responsible for what I've been doing with my life for the past 15+ years, so when I was asked to create the artwork for their 2011 record, I naturally jumped at the chance. Not only were they absolutely great to work with, but they've still got it- Neutralize is a flat-out SICK record."

EARTH CRISIS will reveal a new song next week and tour dates in support of 'Neutralize the Threat' are coming soon. 

The track listing for 'Neutralize the Threat' is as follows:

1. Raise
2. Neutralize The Threat
3. Total War
4. 100-Kiloton Blast
5. Counterstrike
6. By Conscience Compelled
7. Black Talons Tear
8. Askari
9. The Eradicators
10. Raze

      <title>Earth Crisis: : Comment On A.L.F. "Lone Wolf" Situation;  Commence Writing New Material</title>
      <description>EARTH CRISIS Comment On A.L.F. "Lone Wolf" Situation; 
Commence Writing New Material

EARTH CRISIS' chugging riffs and barked declarations served as the mouthpiece of America's militant vegan, straight-edge movement throughout the '90s, detailing the ideas of animal and human liberation, drug-free living and personal empowerment through hardcore music. The group has continued along this path of breaking new ground, constantly working and reaching more people spreading their message to the masses.

The guy who EARTH CRISIS wrote the song "To Ashes" about was just arrested and charged with burning down a fois gras plant and a sheepskin factory. Here where you can read about it. http://www.voiceofthevoiceless.org/

Scott Crouse further comments on the situation: "Recently Walter, the man whose actions inspired our song 'To Ashes,' has been arrested on alleged arson charges. Our motivation behind writing the song 'To Ashes' was to show the passion and frustration of a man who reached his boiling point. The extremes that Walter went to save his brother's life we find inspiring, mainly because they were acts of property destruction against his adversaries, not acts of violence. We wanted to simply document what many in the straight edge community already deemed as a heroic and selfless action. Regarding Walters current arrest, we don't have much to say since right now they are merely accusations until he is proven guilty. 

"We were also beyond disappointed that we didn't get a chance to play last Sunday at The Sound and Fury Festival. It was a weekend of cancelled flights, wondering if all the members would even make it out here and three trips to LAX. Hey, at least we can all say we saw a motorcycle in the pit right?

"So far we have about four new songs written and are hoping to start working on vocals this fall. The plan is to have 10 new songs and re-record a few older songs that are live set staples. We are hoping to start recording in January 2011 with an as of yet undetermined producer."

      <title>Earth Crisis: : Prepare For The "Wrath of Sanity" Headlining North American Tour;  Andy Hurley (Fall Out Boy) To Fill In On Drums </title>
      <description>&lt;b&gt;EARTH CRISIS'&lt;/b&gt; chugging riffs and barked declarations served as the mouthpiece of America's militant vegan, straight-edge movement throughout the '90s, detailing the ideas of animal and human liberation, drug-free living and personal empowerment through hardcore music. The group has continued along this path of breaking new ground, constantly working and reaching more people spreading their message to the masses. 

After a lengthy hiatus, the band reformed in 2008 to the delight of the hardcore genre. They soon produced the vicious new offering, To The Death, that undoubtedly proved that they have never been stronger from both songwriting and musicianship perspectives. 

EARTH CRISIS will essentially put a close to this successful album's touring cycle with the "Wrath of Sanity" headlining North American tour. This stellar bill, which kicks off on April 22nd, also features such acclaimed acts as First Blood and Thick As Blood. The trek will also hit The New England Metal and Hardcore festival and conclude at the California Metalfest. Be sure to visit their &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/earthcrisis"&gt;MySpace&lt;/a&gt; to view their complete touring itinerary. 

Longtime drummer Dennis Merrick will only be playing the first four shows and will be replaced by Andy Hurley (Fall Out Boy) for the remainder of the tour. Hurley further states: "EARTH CRISIS is one of my favorite bands ever. They are the reason why I am vegan and straight edge. The origins of most of my philosophical/political beliefs come from them introducing me to a whole new way of thinking. When I was asked to fill in on the upcoming tour, I was beyond stoked. It felt like being called up to the major league, and I think that this will be the most fun I will have on a tour. Be sure to come check it out because this is a band whose songs beat in my heart and who have never forgotten how to write brutally awesome songs."
