The Crucified

Rediscovering this Trash/Hardcore hybrid band. This is some flat out moshworthy material! Very SODish on the self titled album. I havent gotten to their second, Pillars Of Humanity yet.

Good guitar work too. Usually you dont hear much shredding in these types of bands but man this good stuff!

Ooooooooo and they have a webpage!

They were a great band. It's a shame that Mark Soloman is so against ever doing anything with this band again. Speaking to Jim Chaffin, he seems like he'd love to do a Crucified reunion.

Cool to hear!

I've only heard their early punk material (which I need to pick up). I've never heard these two albums.

those two albums are great, personally, i prefer the debut over the pillars album....pillars to me sounded a lot liek they wanted to be slayer

Yeah I can kinda hear that Pope. Both were good releases though. I wouldnt mind hearing some of the earlier stuff...I didnt know they put anything out other than these two albums.

Someone wanna burn me?

Yeah I can doos that for yoos Troggy! I fit em both on one cd...that seemed to work putry gud.

I ahve take up your cross/nailed on cassette and the self titled on cassette......but pillars, i lack.

I've only got the first one. I stumbled across it used years ago ... I
haven't listened to it in forever. I'll have to pull it out again and
post what I think.

I've got all three CDs (Take Up Your Cross/Nailed, S/T and Pillars)

I personally like Pillars a bit more than S/T . . . it's a bit more metal

Pillars was awesome. It was very Slayeresque and the guitars just killed. Saw them on this tour in some little lodge building that held about 100 people. It was about 100 degrees out and I probably lost about 5 lbs and was black and blue when it was over. Awesome. The guitarist, Greg Minier?, was into metal and put out a couple solo albums I think.

I loved Pillars of Humanity, especially "So Called Living, 1991". The s/t was okay, but Pillars is/was my favorite by them. I haven't listened to them in a long time.

Ive got his first solo on cassette. Good stuff!

man, THE CRUCIFIED ruled back in the day. They proved to me
there was actually good crossover/thrash played by Christians. The
s/t cassette was my first introduction and I played that thing endlessly!
(I still play it in my car some to this day! It has lasted this long!! haha)

I liked Pillars Of Humanity when it came out. I thought it was
a strong follow-up. I still prefer the s/t just because it has a little more
punk/crossover feel to it. I like all the old punk stuff as well (Nailed,
Take Up Your Cross).. that stuff is SERIOUSLY underrated...

Greg's second solo album was the mighty APPLEHEAD. Great stuff! Sort of grungy, doomy metal.

DUDE one of my all time fav bands. Their logo is tattooed on my left forearm. HUGE influence on me. I nare wept last Tomfest as some dude gave me a double dvd of their final performace at C-stone (I never got to see them live). It is just a burn from his old VHS that eh shot but still....

I think this band was great in every way. One of my top 5 for sure. And yes Marky needs to get over it and understand that it was GRACE that made the Crucified great and God chose to use them for all the shenigans./humanity going on behind the scenes and do at least one reunion show. On one condition: I HAVE to be there hehehe

ANother Applehead record would kill as well
