CROWBAR will release its new album, “Zero And Below”, on March 4 via MNRK Heavy (formerly eOne Music). The official music video for the LP’s latest single, “Bleeding From Every Hole”, can be seen below.
Produced, mixed, and mastered by Duane Simoneaux at OCD Recording And Production in Metairie, Louisiana, “Zero And Below” is reverently old school, counterbalanced by a resonant melodicism that’s stunningly mature. Songs like “Chemical Godz”, “Bleeding From Every Hole” and “It’s Always Worth The Gain” demonstrate what CROWBAR does better than any other band: powerful, evocative, and crushingly heavy music. Celebrating a recent 30th anniversary, CROWBAR is led by one of the most beloved figures in heavy metal, riff overlord Kirk Windstein, whose menacing bellow and smooth drawl put resilient, unrepentant strength behind even the most somber odes to suffering.
Comments Windstein about “Bleeding From Every Hole”: “I really love this track. It’s kind of strange that it was written before the COVID epidemic because the song is basically what so many people went through in a metaphorical way during the shutdowns, loss of work, and social life. Things seemed so bad that no matter which way you turned, it was the wrong direction. I wanted to express that there are people that feel that things are hopeless… but they do get better in the end. Your inner strength is there. It needs to be let out. I hope everyone enjoys the song. It is really one of my favorites.”
CROWBAR songs are unapologetic emotional outpourings, with a bare-knuckle resolve alongside its soul-searching vulnerability, reliably delivered with crushing heaviness. “Zero And Below”, which cements the band’s dense catalog as exactly one dozen studio albums deep, is the most unforgivably doomy CROWBAR record since the group’s landmark 1998 effort “Odd Fellows Rest”.
Pre-orders for vinyl, CDs, and cassette are available now. Pick them up at the link HERE.
