Pillars Of Humanity (Re-Issue)
Release Date: Nov 17, 2009
When the Crucified started out, no one was talking about money. No one was talking about record deals. No one was talking about fashion or genre or marketability. No one was talking about being “pioneers.” There was no pretense. There was a guitar. There was a bass. There was a set of drums. There was even a microphone (and occasionally, a P.A.!)
“We practiced three times a week, because… why wouldn’t we? Getting a show was terrifying. Getting a tour? Silliness. Radio? Stop it you’re killing us! With all that practicing, how we ever had time for the High School we met at or the Bible Study where we became friends is difficult to comprehend. And how did we find the time in all of that other stuff to fall in love with the music of everyone from Minor Threat to Metallica? Funny what one can accomplish when surrounded by miles of… nothing. All we were attempting to do was to create something we didn’t already have. That’s what we did. Necessity being the mother of invention and so forth, we needed some music we liked – but we hoped God would like it too. So… we made it ourselves. And it was fun when nobody knew we were doing any of it. Eventually, some people found out. Then more. Then more and more. Plans were planned, decisions we decided, but The Will of God is… reality. Turns out, there’s more to Jesus than just talking about Him. Turns out, God is not mocked (who knew)? Turns out, being Crucified with Christ isn’t just an anthem, but a life. A life that requires respect for whatever He decides that life will be. Turns out, He knows better than we. What else could be said that hasn’t already?” – Mark Solomon.
Mark Soloman sings for Stavesacre and Neon Horse.
