Song Style
Like most of the songs on the album, “Crush 'Em” is an example of musical experiments characteristic of the work of the band of the late 1990s. In the beginning, techno- beat is played, then funky -style guitar riffs appear. After that, the sound of music becomes close to hard rock and heavy metal .
Music video
The video was shot in early June 1999 in the same room as the music video for the 1990 Hangar 18 song [3] . The video also featured the main characters of the movie Universal Soldier 2: The Return , Jean-Claude Van Damme and Bill Goldberg , with the latter shouting out the phrase “Crush 'Em” with Dave Mustaine .
