Earth Crisis
Earth Crisis are a metallic hardcore band from Syracuse, New York, formed in 1989 around vocalist Karl Buechner and guitarist Scott Crouse. Combining hardcore's aggression with death metal heaviness and an unwavering commitment to straight edge and vegan ideology, they helped define the metalcore genre and the vegan straight edge movement with albums such as Destroy the Machines (1995) and Gomorrah's Season Ends (1996). Sociologist Ross Haenfler credited them as 'the face of straight edge throughout the 1990s'; after a hiatus from 2001 to 2007, they have remained active.
