Odd Fellows Rest is the fifth studio album by American sludge metal band Crowbar, released on July 7, 1998 through Mayhem Records. It was re-released on August 24, 1999 via Spitfire Records, featuring a bonus track. It is the first album to feature Acid Bath and Goatwhore guitarist Sammy Duet, and the last album to feature drummer and Eyehategod guitarist Jimmy Bower.
The album is named after the cemetery in New Orleans.
Kirk Windstein described the album as "the first record where the Crowbar rulebook was thrown out of the window".[5]
Odd Fellows Rest has received critical acclaim. Although the album takes a more melodic approach both musically and lyrically, the album quickly became a fan-favorite in the NOLA metal scene and the song "Planets Collide" became a permanent staple at every performance.
The album was inducted into Decibel Magazine’s Hall of Fame in June of 2017.[6]
