The Serpent Only Lies on Compact Disc.

Crowbars eleventh and latest album, The Serpent Only Lies, is both an affirmation of the bands staying power and a nod to their legacy. To me, its a fresh-sounding version of old-school Crowbar, says vocalist, guitarist and mastermind Kirk Windstein. I intentionally went back and listened to a lot of old Crowbar stuff, like the self-titled and Broken Glass albums, to get a feel for what my mindset was 20-plus years ago. I also went back and listened to the bands that influenced Crowbar in the beginning, like Trouble, Saint Vitus, Melvins, and the first Type O Negative record. So it was kinda me doing my homework.
