The music video for “Profane Prophecy” by The Black Crowes is seen below, as per Blabbermouth. In order to wreak havoc on this small fairytale realm of harsh punishment and sharp morality, The Black Crowes have summoned seven devils, each of whom represents a deadly sin. They used life-size dioramas and hyper-unrealistic theatrical set pieces to lean toward uncanniness in the creation of this realm. The song “Profane Prophecy” is off The Black Crowes’ upcoming studio album, “A Pound Of Feathers,” which Silver Arrow Records will release on March 13. The album, which was produced by Jay Joyce, takes The Black Crowes’ well-known fusion of rock, soul, and blues into thrilling new territory. The band’s forthcoming album is a monumental example of their lasting creative passion and importance in the rock & roll genre.
We made this record in eight to ten days. Bringing the high and inspiration from ‘Happiness Bastards’ into this album, it was a natural progression. We experimented more, we wrote on instinct and how we were feeling in the moment. Rich brought a spontaneity to the record that I can’t describe, but it’s the best shit he’s ever done. – Chris Robinson
This album feels transformative to us. Going back to our roots, we felt that spark in the studio and how we work together. Lighting a fire that hits harder, more jagged but is still true to our musical essence. – Rich Robinson
“A Pound Of Feathers” represents a daring artistic development, fusing new viewpoints and intense, dynamic rhythmic textures with the tough swagger of their early hits. Recorded in Nashville with Grammy-winning producer Jay Joyce, the album features a courageous ensemble performing at the pinnacle of their abilities. It was curated with creative energy and profound musical sensitivity.
The project, which was written entirely by the brothers, skillfully switches between the weightless beauty of “A Pound Of Feathers” and the heavy truth of “a pound of lead,” imbuing all 11 tracks with an ambivalent depth and honest purity. It draws from a legacy of emotive songwriting, formidable musicianship, and true rock ‘n’ roll grit.
