Overview

Collisions and Castaways was written and recorded between October 2009 and May 2010. It follows the band's DVD Underneath a Northern Sky and is the band's second album to feature guitarist Steve Holt producing and Andy Sneap handling the final mix.

Vocalist and lyricist Brock Lindow has said "If this was the end of the band, this record is exactly what I wanted our band to do at one time, Maybe a lot of people will think we're just metalcore, but it's so much more than that. It's a heavy record with some big choruses and everything we've been about for a long time with a cool metal feel to it that I've been wanting."[5]

The album's first single is "Reviver".

Critical reception

Jen Rochester of The NewReview gave the album a 4.5 out of 5 and stated "I really can't find anything to complain about with Collisions and Castaways. This album is 36 Crazyfists at their best. Quite frankly, I cannot think of a better way to spend ten bucks."[6]
