CRUCIAL VELOCITY Feat. KING DIAMOND, CHASTAIN Members Describe A Human Cadaver Dissection With “Lilium” Music Video
December 6, 2023, 6 months ago
Crucial Velocity combines thought provoking subject matter (Ukrainian war, mental illness) using elements of Sabbath, Queensrÿche, Opeth and Voivod with powerful layered vocals reminiscent of Queen. A new video – made by Wayne Joyner (Dream Theater, Devin Townsend, Alter Bridge) – for the track “Lilium” is available below and is a firsthand account of a human cadaver dissection.
The band: Crucial Velocity features veteran musicians Matt Thompson (King Diamond) drums, guitar legend Michael Harris (Chastain/Harris, Thought Chamber, Darkology, solo artist), Shaolin Death Squad vocalist Androo O’Hearn and songwriter/guitarist Nate Bauer.
“Crucial Velocity was intended to be a two song experiment but after hearing the results I was compelled to keep writing because I knew this was something special. Matt Thompson took the drums to places I never imagined. Michael Harris displays his metal/fusion personality throughout the album. And Androo O'Hearn is a name that everyone should know. His layering of vocals and use of unique techniques such as tribal throat singing on ‘Sins Of Pilate’ is absolutely next level.” --Nate Bauer
The album was mixed and mastered by veteran engineer Gary Long at Nomad Recording Studio, Dallas.
