German dark rockers Crone have released a pro-shot video illustrating the first single "Gemini" taken from the forthcoming new album entitled Gotta Light?, which has been slated for release on the 23rd of September via Prophecy Productions. The melancholic and longing video for "Gemini", which perfectly mirrors the mood of this track is available below.
"I wrote all the basics for 'Gemini' on an old acoustic guitar", vocalist and guitarist Phil Jonas reveals. "It is amazing to look back and see how the song eventually developed into the piece that it is now. The lyrics came to me very quickly. I am sure their meaning unfolds with a little digging. The video by director Robert Piel at least in my mind tells the story of a lost twin and its inevitable return in some kind of a rebirth. This can be interpreted in many directions. I think each of us has already had to leave someone behind."
With their sophomore full-length Gotta Light?, dark rock innovators Crone are cruising in a high octane fuelled hotrod. Channelling their personal musical inspirations that range from Alice In Chains, via Killing Joke, New Model Army, and Joy Division to Pink Floyd among many others, the Germans leave their very own and personal mark on the genre that has been brought back to the forefront of interest by acts such as Ghost in recent years.
Burn, baby, burn! When the creative flame seems to have burned all of an artist's soul to ashes, the next steps are falling into a black hole, crisis, and with luck eventually catharsis. Crone vocalist and guitarist Phil Jonas had come to the end of the road with ground-breaking German black metal pioneers Secrets Of The Moon. The band's latest albums had already moved gradually from black metal toward dark rock. Link
