Crowbar has been a pretty busy band as of late. Crowbar is currently on tour with Soulfly and then its turning around and going right back out this month with High on Fire. After all that is said and done, the band hopes to get back into the studio and knock out the rest of the record. Kirk Windstein elaborates a little bit in an interview with Thunder Underground.
"We've got four songs written that are really killer. We'll probably get at least another one or two — hopefully two — written between when this tour [with Soulfly] ends [in November] and going out with High on Fire in December. And then in the month of January, we really need to buckle down and make sure we finish up the other half of the record. [And we'll] get in the studio in early February, probably."
Windstein says he wishes the band would be done with the new record sooner, but essentially life got in the way. That and making a whole lot of Christmas cards (probably).
"The last album was kind of difficult, because Jeff [Golden, bass] was just coming in. He didn't know the back catalogue. We had a tour set up, so we we had to concentrate with him more [on] learning the setlist and rehearsing that. So in the middle of rehearsing the setlist to go on tour, as well as trying to write at the same time, really, four of the songs were kind of written in the studio. And we lucked out and they came out great, but it doesn't always work that way."
So I think it's safe to say that there will be a new Crowbar album in 2016. Nice!
