GRAMMY-NOMINATED ROCKERS THE BLACK CROWES WREAK HAVOC WITH RUSS MEYER-INSPIRED VIDEO FOR NEWLY RELEASED SINGLE “PROFANE PROPHECY»

Legendary rock icons and 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees The Black Crowes today released a Russ Meyer-inspired official music video for their newly-released single “Profane Prophecy” off the band’s forthcoming album, A Pound of Feathers, out everywhere March 13. 

Equal parts decadent, confrontational, and artfully unhinged, the video uses the color red and devils as both an aesthetic and metaphor. Representing the seven deadly sins, the devils are unleashed into a world of stark, unforgiving morality, sowing chaos at every turn around the band – designed to deliberately feel off-kilter and blur the line between fantasy and reality.

“‘Profane Prophecy’ is about the devil you know, the devil you never knew, the devil inside of me and devil inside of you,” shares Chris Robinson. “The mischief and madness in the beautiful expression that is rock n roll… and you can dance to it.”  

Out now, the accompanying visual was shot in Los Angeles and directed by artist and musician Dagger Polyester whom Chris Robinson discovered in LA’s underground music scene. A fever-dream spectacle inspired by the provocative, hyper-stylized world of Russ Meyer, Dagger enlisted 15 students from an Los Angeles Art Collective to help bring the video to life, meticulously designing the costumes, building the set, developing choreography and styling each character’s hair and makeup.

Rapid cuts, daring composition and a surprising, fatale finale echo the audacious spirit of cult cinema’s most notorious provocations. Anchoring the chaos are brothers Chris and Rich Robinson, whose performance cut through the surreal visuals, resulting in a visual that feels both classic and daring – a modern tribune to outsider art, pulp mythology, and theatrical danger that once defined rock music. 

The explosive opener sets the tone for the whole project. Fueled by kinetic rhythms and alluring attitude, the track radiates pulp-soaked, unapologetic confidence, blending cheeky fun and funky lyricism with driving, powerful instrumentals only founding members and brothers – Chris and Rich Robinson – could deliver.
