The Crucified is a Christian crossover thrash / hardcore punk band from Fresno in California, formed in 1985.
The Crucified was previously known as KGB (Kids in God's Blessing), formed in 1984.
Formed in the mid-80's, The Crucified followed the crossover trend of punk-metal into the Christian world, releasing 2 demos, very much punk in nature, which would later be re-released in 1994 on the album "Nailed". Their first official release, their self-titled album, changed the face of christian crossover metal forever and their final recording "The Pillars Of Humanity", a much more speed metal thrash album, made them legends which many bands still emulate even years later.
