## Key points

- Crowbar plans to begin writing a new album early in the year.
- Windstein says a regular rehearsal schedule could help the songs come together quickly.
- The new record will follow 2022’s “Zero And Below”.

## Summary

Crowbar founder Kirk Windstein says the band plans to start writing its next album at the beginning of the year. The follow-up to 2022’s “Zero And Below” matters to fans of the long-running Louisiana group, whose doom metal sound has influenced other bands.

Windstein says the group writes quickly and hopes to meet around three days a week, with the schedule depending partly on drummer Tommy Buckley’s availability. He expects contributions from guitarist Matt Brunson and bassist Pat Bruders, alongside his own riffs. “Zero And Below”, Crowbar’s twelfth album, was produced and mixed by Duane Simoneaux and was presented as the band’s most doom-driven record since 1998’s “Odd Fellows Rest”.
