BraveWords is premiering the music video for “Throne Of The Crow”, a track from progressive metal act Cognition’s second full-length studio album, Procession Of Thoughts, released today (November 11th) independently via iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, and Google Play.

The new video was shot and produced by Screaming Butterfly Entertainment, directed by Holly Siders. Watch below:

Procession Of Thoughts reflects an evolved and more mature sound from the West Virginia-based quintet, and follows the band’s 2014 self-titled debut album that put the band on the metal scene's radar as a band to watch.

Featuring vocalist Calvin Wilson, drummer Evan Michael, Joey Welsh on bass, and guitarists Jared Gaminde and Tyler Vincent, the band once again tapped producer Jeff Westlake of Ridgeline Production Studios (Hydrogyn, Tracy G and Craig Goldy of Dio fame, The Godz) who engineered and mixed Procession Of Thoughts.

“The process started in December of 2014 and finished in July of 2016. We sat down and put structure to what these guys brought to the table,” says Westlake. “This is a band in transition. They are learning every day and they have worked hard to be where they are. Development is so key and you rarely get to see it done this way anymore. The members of Cognition are getting the benefit of just that and to watch the growth is very satisfying.”

"As a band, Procession Of Thoughts represents a coming of age and a conscious reminder of what got us playing in the first place,” says guitarist Tyler Vincent. “We approached the writing process focused on delivering a cohesive album for the listener and not just ourselves. We believe our collective spirit is captured in each of the nine tracks and we can't wait for you all to hear it!"
