A life surrounded by hate and hopelessness sometimes leads to submission. And sometimes it leads to fight. The split from Oklahoma is absolutely the latter - a manic and desperate crust assault divided into two movements. The HUMANICIDE tracks from 2000 seem like they are almost trying for the melodic tinged that would dominate the DIY crust of the early decade, but instead they sound like LOGICAL NONSENSE and STATE OF FEAR grinding the shit out each other. And ten years later, URANIUM DEATH CROW are still grinding on - the melodic tinge traded for Swedish metal influences creeping into what is an absolutely brutal collection of sounds. Eleven songs and almost a full half hour from each band - just listening to it is exhausting. Imagine living it.

Seen Uranium Death Crow a few times when I lived on Norman , mainly at the U.C. house ,great band and great people . And they played some odd ball shows (which were still amazing) like with 2nd Street Rag Stompers (blue grass from O.K.C.) . Anyways I seen some amazing bands and made some good friends when I lived in Oklahoma.
