Crucifix were an American hardcore punk band from Berkeley, California, active in the early 1980s. Their vocalist Sothira Pheng is of Cambodian origin.

Best known for the album Dehumanization; noted for raw, political lyrics addressing war and injustice and for Sothira Pheng's distinctive, visceral vocals.

The review presents Dehumanization as a classic of the early-1980s Californian hardcore punk scene. It emphasizes Sothira Pheng's powerful, visceral vocals and the album's raw, noisy sound. The record (14 tracks, ~23 minutes) is described as evoking images of war and human agony. Overall, the review treats the music as both harsh protest and a kind of brutal poetry.

For:Fans of hardcore punk, noise-influenced punk, and listeners interested in early 1980s Californian punk with political themes.

 Fourteen songs pass, twenty-three minutes of music and the effect is over, the Crucifix have finished playing, while the needle moves toward the end of the record I realize how much silence surrounds me...
