Black Crown Initiate Lead “Vicious Lives”

Don’t let the title fool you: “Vicious Lives,” the new song from Black Crown Initiate, is actually pretty mellow. In fact, it often sounds kinda like Tool at their most chill (e.g., “10000 Days (Wings Part 2)”). Which is fine by me! Especially since it seems like we’re getting an actual new Tool album sometime around the turn of the 28th century.

Kidding aside, I dunno how you can be anything but impressed by BCI. They’ve got range, bruh.

Check out “Vicious Lives” below. The song appears on Black Crown Initiate’s new album, Selves We Cannot Forgive, which comes out July 22 on eOne. Pre-order it here. We’re giving away a vinyl copy here! The band is on tour with Ne Obliviscaris and Starkill right now; get dates here.
