Italy’s progressive rock alchemists, KINGCROW, continue to etch their legacy of evocative soundscapes and profound lyrical narratives with the release of their latest single, Hopium. This eponymous track from their highly anticipated album heralds a new zenith in the band’s storied journey, where genres dissolve, and the music becomes an experience beyond the ordinary.

Hopium pulsates with an emotional resonance and raw vitality, capturing the essence of KINGCROW’s relentless pursuit of innovation. Seamlessly intertwining existential introspection with the band’s signature blend of progressive rock, ambient, and metal influences – It’s a manifesto of passion, intricately weaving a tale of wrestling with societal illusions while seeking true inner self.

Alongside the single, fans are treated to a visually stunning band playthrough. Set against the atmospheric backdrop of Hologram Studios in Francavilla al Mare, Italy, the video immerses viewers in a raw, unfiltered glimpse of the band’s dynamic synergy. Directed by Riccardo Nifosì, with cinematography by Riccardo Nifosì and Giorgio Amadori, and edited meticulously by Nifosì himself, the video brilliantly showcases the band’s artistic integrity and dedication.
