The almighty Crowbar have returned. The Louisiana sludge icons fronted by Kirk Windstein are putting out their 12th album, Zero and Below, in March 2022, and today we're proud to be premiering the gnarly music video for its rollicking lead single, "Chemical Godz."
With a galloping groove and raspy howls from Windstein, "Chemical Godz" resides on the heavier and more upbeat side of Crowbar's mucky sound, but lyrically, this is some bleak stuff. "Destruction carry the weight/Nails in my hands/Beaten down levitation nowhere to land," goes one verse — sentiments that are expressed in the accompanying video, which follows the lives of two impoverished drug addicts whose story comes to a tragic end. Watch and listen above via YouTube.
"We are all so excited to release the song and video for 'Chemical Godz,'" Windstein says. "It's been nearly two years since the album was completed. It was such a sad time for so many people going through the Covid-19 epidemic and we felt it wasn't a good time to release any new material. Get ready because the heavy is coming! We hope y'all enjoy the song and video. Stay safe out there!"
