BiastFear is a band from Cleveland, OH. The band released the album "All Angels Scream" in December of 2000 and is a blend of R&B, Metal, and Soul. The songs have a very heavy metal guitar influence and Crystal's voice on the tracks blend well with the sound with backup growls from drummer Skitch. She does not growl or scream as many metal artists do now, but has an amazing vocal range. The songs have ripping double bass drums by Skitch, low crunchy bass guitar by Rob, and some amazing solos by Ormi. The band performed with Gatlin more often than not and even covered "No Sleep til Brooklyn" by the Beastie Boys with Gatlin and called it "No Sleep Til Cleveland". Some of the songs featured sound bytes from the films "The Crow" and "City Of Angels". Some of the songs lyrics reflect the band's decision to enlist Crystal to sing for the band and add the R&B/Soul sound to the band in classic hip-hop praise fashion and how it was a groundbreaking decision for them.
The band broke up in July of 2003 and no longer tours.

Look At Me
Biastfear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Discouraged and with fright
With Biastfear
Prepared to rock the mic
For so long the music was not right
We got together
Now everything fits tight
The basement
Making music for everyone around
Original
So we might not fit your mold
You can't label
What comes straight from the soul
Chorus
Take a loot at me
I'm not what I'm supposed to be
If you follow me
I'll change your thinking
So here we are
Preforming our shit live
Four of us to make you feel the vibe
Took r&b, metal, hip-hop and soul
Put them together
And made the music whole
At first the census
Was that our shit was whack
Those boys for Gatlin
You know they had our back
The scene was dead
And we gave it new life
To show the world
That Cleveland does shit right
Chorus
So you say that we should give up
But some to all our shows
And you bob your head with us
You may individually not like us
But Biastfear
You will never divide us
So don't you try us
Stepped up
To show you what I could do
Right away
I was being dissed by you
Told by you
That I didn't belong
Proved you wrong
Just by singin this song
So now what
You noticed I could sing
And rhyme on time
With this style I bring
Caught you off guard
So what you gonna do
Tossed you aside
And now I'm through with you
Chorus
