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), Christopher Ortiz (Magnetic Minds), and Jesse Sieren (Big Laugh) — 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
