Determined Welsh rockers THOSE DAMN CROWS start the new year by releasing a mission statement new single, making their intentions crystal clear. New track “No Surrender” comes from their forthcoming new album God Shaped Hole, due out April 11th via Earache Records. Previous album Inhale/Exhale soared straight into the UK official album chart at #3.
Frontman Shane Greenhall comments, “‘No Surrender is about coming to a point in your journey where the sacrifices outnumber the rewards, leading most to give up. With us Crows – it’s always a case of we can’t quit, we don’t know how, we’ve come too far, it’s not even a thought. It’s just another milestone towards the bigger picture, towards the so-called End Game! We will overcome and achieve what we’ve always known is potentially ours… IF we believe and by f*** WE DO! And, it’s going to hit when we perform it live!”

The album’s detailed artwork, by Alex Tillbrook, has a lot of thought behind it. Shane comments, “It’s a collection of what’s happened in the timeline of (my) life. It’s a combination of realities and dimensions. Each item on the album cover visually represents a song on the album and the emotion tied to it. The album landscape is another dimension where the dream world exists, images/songs/emotions are scattered around the vast desert in disarray. Is the sink hole there to destroy, to take away, or is it the path to a new dimension, new reality, new life? I feel that life, the dream state, psychedelics, technology are all co-existing and blurring the lines while asking the question ‘what is real?'”
