Crime Scene announce debut EP ‘Dark Tidings’
CRIME SCENE have announced their debut EP!
Titled Dark Tidings, the EP is the first release from the new project of Jerry A. Lang (POISON IDEA) and Pieter Coolen (TOXIC SHOCK), and is scheduled to be released in March this year via American Leather Records in the North America and Reality Records in Europe.
Speaking about the circumstances in which the band came to be, Coolen explains, “I was frustrated, had a lot of riffs floating around in my head and we couldn’t rehearse and play shows for months and months. I started making real demos. Not only recording riffs on my phone. Put a lot of work and heart in those recordings. In the end I had about 15-20 songs. And then I noticed that some stuff wasn’t for TOXIC SHOCK, so the idea about doing another band with other people started to grow.”
On the band’s metallic sound, Lang adds, “I liked the Bay-Area thrash-metal when it came out – METALLICA, EXODUS. I liked VENOM and MAYHEM. I thought, it sounds like good punk-rock but something they could play better. Better drummers, more leads. I liked the feeling and the attitude of it. And I liked the attitude of CRIME SCENE.”
