NORTHERN CROWN Release Lyric Video For "Surreality (The Tell-Tale Mind)"

Florida doom behemoth Northern Crown has released a lyric video for "Surreality (The Tell-Tale Mind)," a song from their new album The Others. It was created by Wayne Joyner.

The Others can be streamed in its entirety via the audio player below.

The band has also released a remix / remaster of the title track from their debut EP, In The Hands Of The Betrayer, inclusive of newly recorded rhythm guitars and bass.

Main songwriter and guitarist Zachary Randall notes that "this is easily the most personal art I've ever created, both musically and lyrically." The care and attention to detail have refined the songs, creating real character and vision. Northern Crown is the sound of realization and reaction, with a touch of smoke and mirrors. Equal parts austere and ostentatious, but heavy all the way through.

Vocalist / guitarist Frank Serafine notes, "we know what we're good at now, and focused more on bringing out those performances from each other." The long-running title track, recalling a quote from philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, is sure to be another enthralling favorite.

Serafine summons a heady blend of his influences, such as Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford, Roy Khan, and Jorn Lande, for his performance. Former Northern Crown founding member Leona Hayward returns to the fold, rounding out the rhythm section with a heavy Steve Harris / Geezer Butler-inspired attack. Drummer Josh Brown is guided by the rule of elegant simplicity in his stylings and momentum. Guest performers on The Others also include Nightfall / Dark Hound guitarist Evan Hensley and organs by Vincent Perez.
