Very High Frequencies Ep 137: Dawn Crosby

Very High Frequencies blasts psychic exorcisms and societal rage from heavy music innovator, the late great Dawn Crosby. From '83--'86 Dawn fronted politically charged Thrash Metal outfit Detente, releasing Recognize No Authority in 1986. Today it is widely accepted as a classic in the genre.Upon the bands implosion Dawn created Goth Metal band Fear Of God, releasing debut album, Within The Veil, in '91. Pummeling follow up, Toxic Voodoo, came out in '94. A 3 song cassette only release, Killing The Pain, was released in '95. Sadly Dawn Crosby passed away in 1996 from acute liver failure, the Rock and roll lifestyle had caught up to her. She was 33 years old. Listen and you will surely understand why Dawn Crosby is so highly regarded in metal circles for her emotionally powerful vocals and often brutally honest lyrical contributions. Dawn does not sing about fantasy tropes like
 Wizards and Warlocks; she sings about betrayal and rage. She screams in pain of tales of Addiction, Prostitution, serial killers, and the dangers of getting lost in the Drift. VHF-137 (Dawn Crosby), a show for anyone that appreciates original heavy music. 

RIP Dawn, thanks for all the really real music.
