Crowbar will release 11th album The Serpent Only Lies on October 28, they’ve confirmed – with lead single Falling While Rising due on September 1.
The follow-up to 2014 record Symmetry In Black was originally expected a month sooner, until its official launch date was revealed. See a short trailer below.
Mainman Kirk Windstein recently described the material as “more meat and potatoes” than previous outings.
Now he says: “I intentionally went back and listened to a lot of old Crowbar stuff, like the self-titled and Broken Glass albums, to get a feel for what my mindset was 20-plus years ago. I also went back and listened to the bands that influenced Crowbar in the beginning, like Trouble, Saint Vitus, Melvins, and the first Type O Negative record. So it was kinda me doing my homework.
“Having this be our eleventh record, we’re very fortunate because so many bands don’t last this long. My whole outlook on music as a career is the Motorhead outlook, which is that slow and steady wins the race.
“If you continue to put out killer records, continue to kick ass onstage every night and continue to treat your fans with respect, that’s the stuff people will remember.”
Crowbar commence a five-week North American tour on September 13, with returned bass player Todd ‘Sexy T’ Strange. Full album details will be announced in due course.
