Crusades – This Is a Sickness and Sickness Will End (Anxious And Angry / Countless Altars)
Ottawa's Crusades began in 2009. Prior to CRUSADES’ formation, the four members played in such established local bands as Sedatives, The Creeps, Buried Inside, The Steve Adamyk Band, and Black Tower. Separately, they're responsible for some of the city's best bands and together they've formed a whole new beast that takes pieces of the vast influences and fierce delivery of their other outfits. The band’s initial and ever-evolving goal is to examine profound personal and universal topics – love, art, life, death, etc - through a lens of freethinking and atheism, offering a critical perspective rooted in philosophical, political, musicological, poetic and historical study.
This Is a Sickness and Sickness Will End, the third full-length from Ottawa's Crusades, isn't nearly as bleak as its title may lead you to believe. The album sees the band implementing everything from orchestral flourishes to prog rock-worthy virtuosity into these eight songs, as its punk and hardcore hallmarks merge with post-rock experimentation.
