In honor of The Crow‘s 30th anniversary, New York metal legends Life of Agony pay tribute to fallen star Brandon Lee with their new single, “The Crow (In Memory of B.L.).”
The track was produced and mixed by guitarist Joey Zampella and mastered by Grammy winner Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins). The music video was helmed by Derek Soto of Sinestra Studios.
“There’s something very special about the original Crow that made it timeless, and there’s a reason that it resonated with us as kids,” explains bassist Alan Robert, who’s also the creator of the popular The Beauty of Horror coloring books.
“It was an absolute tragedy,” he continues. “Brandon Lee was killed the year we did our first album, River Runs Red, and by the time The Crow came out in ‘94, he was already a legend. Brandon completely embodied the role, made it iconic, and lost his life in the process. It was just so incredibly sad and affected us deeply. He was such a charismatic character and in the very beginning stages of his career. Director Alex Proyas captured lightning in a bottle.”
“We thought that creating a song and a sound that would seamlessly fit on the original film’s soundtrack would be a perfect way to honor Brandon and his legacy,” adds Zampella.
