Soul‐Crusher

Soul-Crusher is the debut studio album by American band White Zombie, put out independently on Silent Explosion Records in 1987. It was the second and last release to feature Tom "Five" Guay on guitar, and it builds on the sound of the earlier Psycho-Head Blowout, with a tighter, more developed approach and more space for each player to stand out. Its noise rock racket sits a long way from the polish of the band's later records.

Though few people had heard of the band and the first pressing was small, the album found admirers in Kurt Cobain, Iggy Pop and Thurston Moore. Major labels took notice, and Caroline Records picked it up and reissued it in 1988. Critics sometimes count it as a landmark of noise rock and a high point of the group's career. The band later reused the title for a song on La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume One.
