Riff lords Crowbar have announced co-headlining tour dates with NOLA neighbors GOATWHORE, capping off the calendar year with style. “This upcoming tour is one that we’re all looking forward to!,” says Kirk Windstein. “These are our Brothers. Hell, Sammy Duet was in Crowbar for a few of our best records! To the fans of both bands, here’s your early Christmas present! and we are super stoked to have Lillake on this tour with us!”
The band recently debuted the title track “The Serpent Only Lies”, the third track from the band’s forthcoming LP. ” In my opinion, this song is the epitome of the Crowbar sound,” says Windstein. “It starts out fast and heavy and breaks into a wall of melodic doom before switching gears again. Play it loud!”
All three streaming singles are available on all streaming outlet as well as as an iTunes Instant Gratification download, meaning fans who preorder the record will receive the song instantly.
Crowbar will release The Serpent Only Lies, on October 28, 2016 via Entertainment One (eOne) in North America and via SPV overseas. “We are so excited about our 11th studio record! The Serpent Only Lies is a powerful follow up,” adds Windstein. “Eliran Kantor did a brilliant job with the artwork!”

“One of the 25 Most Anticipated Metal Albums of 2016” – ROLLING STONE
“‘The Serpent Only Lies’ is one hell of a listen, it only serves as a reminder of what a truly great band Crowbar are, as if you needed one.” PUREGRAINAUDIO
“With Crowbar being part of the great foundation that makes sludge metal, ‘The Serpent Only Lies’ encompasses so much of the sound we love of sludge, while finding itself in a place where it is at once heavy, but has room for opportunity.” METAL INJECTION
“‘The Serpent Only Lies’ is going to be one of Crowbar’s best. That’s impressive any way you cut it.” NERDIST
“Kirk pairs his most sensitive lyrics with his 10-ton, cement-shoe riffs, and these tracks are amongst their best.” METAL INSIDER
