Metallic precision meets punk urgency: Die Kreuzen frontman Daniel Kubinski returns with a fierce, progressive evolution of Midwest hardcore!
Daniel Kubinski, the howling voice of influential Midwestern punk/metal band Die Kreuzen, returns with the next chapter of his musical legacy: The Crosses. Joined by a formidable lineup of veteran players - Jim Potter (Dr. Shrinker) on guitar, Jesse Sieren (Big Laugh) on drums and bassist Joe Sanfelippo (Sanfelippo appears on the Outlier record) who has since been replaced by bassist Chris Ortiz (Magnetic Minds) - The Crosses bridge their classic hardcore roots with the angular, progressive metallic edge of bands like Voivod.
Following a decade of live performances, the band's debut release Outlier serves up 6 punching, explosive songs that feature a rare blend of metallic precision, thrashcore speed, and punk urgency.
"What a way to herald a return/new beginning. A squall of feedback. A rolling, over-driven bass and tub-thumping glory... soaring, alone and blood-stained, above lightning-fast hardcore riffs." – Louder Than War
