The band was formed when all three members were living in Seattle. Kat Bjelland (bassist) and Stuart Gray (guitarist) were married at the time. The band was something of a side project for Bjelland (Babes in Toyland) and drummer Russell Simins (Jon Spencer Blues Explosion). Gray had previously been in Salamander Jim and Lubricated Goat.

In February 1993, the band wrote songs and recorded an LP, which didn't come out until February 15, 1994. The band made plans for a full tour for the release but that never eventuated. In 1995 Bjelland and Gray were divorced and the band broke up.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Black Heart" by Crunt are short and simple, yet powerful in conveying the emotional pain of a broken relationship. The repetition of "You Baby, You Fuck, You Baby" creates a sense of intensity and frustration, as if the singer is addressing their ex-lover directly. The phrase "You left me in the dark" implies that the breakup was unexpected and devastating, and the repetition of "Black Heart" in the chorus suggests the heaviness and emptiness that comes with heartbreak.

The song is raw and visceral, reflective of the grunge movement in the 1990s. It is a poignant reminder that love is not always sunshine and rainbows, and that relationships can leave us feeling disillusioned and broken. The harsh and abrasive instrumentation of the song, with its pounding drums and distorted guitar riffs, reinforces the intensity of the lyrics.
