Earth Crisis' four-song EP All Out War marked their debut release later in 1992, and shortly afterwards the band became a first priority. In the summer of 1993, at the start of the All Out War tour, Earth Crisis recorded the Firestorm EP in the studio of Bill Korecky in Cleveland and released it through Victory Records.
“Firestorm” by Earth Crisis is not just a song but a call to action and a vivid portrayal of a society drowning in corruption and addiction. Through their powerful lyrics, Earth Crisis urges individuals to reclaim their communities, protect the innocent, and fight against the forces that perpetuate destruction.
