Crowbar The Serpent Only Lies

2016, For nearly three decades, the name Crowbar has been synonymous with heavy. Since rising ominously from the swamplands of New Orleans in 1990, they ve been hailed internationally as one of the world s foremost purveyors of crushing, melodic sludge. Crowbar's eleventh and latest album, THE SERPENT ONLY LIES, is both an affirmation of the band s staying power and a nod to their legacy. This album stands toe-to-toe with those early Crowbar classics while maintaining the lumbering hooks of mid-period standouts like 1998's ODD FELLOWS REST and 2000's EQUILIBRIUM. Bolstered by massive riffage, new songs ,,I Am The Storm", ,,Embrace The Light" and the title track explore the themes of life, loss and spirituality, respectively. The tour cycle for THE SERPENT ONLY LIES marks the return of original Crowbar bassist Todd Sexy T Strange, who left the band back in 1999 but now joins Windstein, drummer Tommy Buckley and guitarist Matt Brunson in forging Crowbar s future.
