Shadow of Greed LP/Crusades is the first official release by Hartford crust punks Oiltanker. The CD version of this release is a limited, numbered edition and combines the band's Shadow of Greed LP and Crusades 7". Musically this is pretty much just staight ahead crust punk with a dose of thrash here and there. No frills and no real surprises here, the album is 16 songs in 32 minutes.
Although I said the album contains new real surprises, one should not take that to mean that the album isn't any good. On the contrary it is, in fact this is some really well played stuff that fans of the genre will love. However those looking for an expansion on crust would do well to look elsewhere as they won't find it here. However, those of us who like this style will find a lot to like here. All of the songs are short and to the point and have a raging intensity that will have metalheads and punks banging their heads to the songs.
