Crowbar share "Falling While Rising"

NOLA sludge legends Crowbar just announced their new album The Serpent Only Lies, and now they’ve shared the first song from that album. It’s called “Falling While Rising,” and you can listen to it here.

Frontman Kirk Windstein called this song “the epitome of Crowbar” and that sounds about right. It has thundering sludge/death riffs, a huge chorus hook and a bridge section that even hews a little bit towards melodeath, but at typically slow-and-low Crowbar pace. It’s awesome, and an indication that the new record will be as good as we’ve come to expect.

Crowbar are touring, and they’ve got those previously-discussed NYC-area shows coming up in September. They’re at Saint Vitus on September 26 (tickets) and in NJ at Dingbatz on September 27 (tickets).
