Earth Crisis is a studio album by the British roots reggae band Steel Pulse. It was released through the band's own label Wise Man Doctrine Records in January 1984. The album peaked at No. 34 on the Dutch Album Top 100.[2]

Background

Earth Crisis was Steel Pulse's fifth studio album. Images of historical figures like American President Ronald Reagan, Soviet leader Yuri Andropov and Pope John Paul II are upon the album's cover. Metalcore band Earth Crisis took their name from this album, because its cover portrayed many of the things they "would stand against", such as the starving African children, the two blocs of the Cold War and Klansmen.[3] The album was licensed to Elektra Records for release in the North American market.
