The Black Crowes have dropped a striking new music video for their latest single, 'Profane Prophecy,' offering a bold preview of their upcoming album A Pound of Feathers, due out March 13. Inspired by the provocative visual language of filmmaker Russ Meyer, the Los Angeles–shot video leans heavily into surreal imagery, drenched in red tones and symbolism.

Why it matters

According to Chris Robinson, the album came together quickly, capturing momentum and instinct in just over a week. Rich Robinson echoed that sentiment, calling the project transformative and rooted in rediscovering the band's core creative spark.
