The Black Crowes have premiered a new video for their song “Profane Prophecy.” This track is from the band’s new album, “A Pound Of Feathers,” which will be released on March 13.
Frontman Chris Robinson commented:
“‘Profane Prophecy’ is about the devil you know, the devil you never knew, the devil inside of me and devil inside of you. The mischief and madness in the beautiful expression that is rock n roll… and you can dance to it.”
Director Dagger Polyester added:
“In the video for ‘Profane Prophecy,’ the Black Crowes have conjured seven devils (representing each deadly sin) to wreak havoc on this little fairytale world of stark morality and harsh retribution. In creating this world, we leaned into uncanniness with hyper-unrealistic theatrical set pieces and life size dioramas.
Everyone in the cast and crew are integral members of our little underground, experimental art scene here in Los Angeles. We rely on one another to make music, movies and art with virtually no budget. As a community, we don’t usually have clearly defined roles; for example, I’m usually doing makeup, costumes, choreography, lighting, you name it. It was a huge opportunity for us to work with the Crowes, especially in a time where the real hero-freaks of the underground go largely unsung.”
