CRISIS To Guest On FUSE TV's 'Metal Asylum'

July 5, 2005

Karyn Crisis and Jwyanza Hobson of CRISIS will be special guests on the Fuse TV's "Metal Asylum" with Juliya airing Friday, July 8. It will also be the "Metal Asylum" premiere of CRISIS' "Waking the Dead" video on Fuse.

The "Waking The Dead" video was filmed at the site of an abandoned women's hospital in the boiler and patient rooms late in January. The concept is the result of a collaboration between director Nicole Phillips and CRISIS frontwoman Karyn Crisis, and in keeping with the song's political nature, revolves around the idea that the individuals of society are trapped in "prisons" that do not allow them to explore their own personal freedoms. The band members play "pied pipers" who "wake up" people with the message of their music, asking them "Are we really free or just merely rats in a maze?"

"Waking the Dead" was directed by Nicole Phillips, filmed by Richard Stark and Mark Mauricio, and edited by Rajeev Dassani.

"Waking the Dead" is the second video off the group's latest album, "Like Sheep Led To Slaughter", which came out in May 2004 through The End/Children Of Rage Records. CRISIS' video for the track "Blood Burden" was shot in April 2004 with director Darren Doane (DEFTONES, AFI, THURSDAY, NILE).

CRISIS are currently on tour across North America as part of The Killith Fair with M.O.D. and JACKNIFE. More information on the bands and tour dates can be found at the tour's official web site.
