Архив новостей | Русская версия
DROWNING POOL has released the official music video for the band's new single, "Revolution (The Final Amen)". The track was made available late last month via SBG Records. It marks the first piece of music founding DROWNING POOL guitarist C.J. Pierce and his longtime bandmates — drummer Mike Luce and bassist Stevie Benton — have completed with singer Ryan McCombs in 13 years.
The "Revolution (The Final Amen)" video was filmed at El Paso, Texas's Speaking Rock Entertainment Center.
Luce comments: "There's a short-list of places DROWNING POOL considers home away from home when we're on the road. Speaking Rock in El Paso, Texas is certainly one of the elite on that list. It's like a family reunion from the moment we get there.
"When plans started getting sorted to shoot a live video and Speaking Rock was on the schedule, it was one of those rare moments that the planets aligned," he continues. "We planned a sort of guerrilla-style, surprise video shoot in that we didn't announce it until the night before/day of, and the El Paso DP family did not disappoint. A very cool side note was that my nephew and some of his fellow soldiers from Ft. Bliss got in on the action as well. I think it's evident in the video that everyone from Caliber TV captured the energy that Speaking Rock delivers without fail."
Pierce adds: "We had such a great time filming the video for 'Revolution (The Final Amen)' in El Paso, surrounded by our fans, up close and personal, face to face. It was the first time we performed 'Revolution (The Final Amen)' live. The energy and intensity from the fans was beyond incredible."
In a recent interview with iHeart Radio personality Debbie Sexxton, Pierce stated about "Revolution (The Final Amen)": "Yeah, it was great working on the song together. It's the first one with all of us back with Ryan, and we spent a lot of time on it. We started on it, actually, beginning of last year. And just between touring and stuff like that, we weren't able to get it down yet. But the whole process, all of us working together, I mean, we literally sat down at a table and we all had different ideas and every one of us kind of approached the song in a different way. And then we came together as a band. It was just amazing. That sounds like a DROWNING POOL song. That's what we want it to sound like. It sounds like us with Ryan."
Regarding the lyrical themes covered in the new DROWNING POOL single, Pierce said: "We spent a lot of time trying different things out to make sure all the bases were covered and we came across with the message lyric-wise too. We had a couple of different rewrites and redrafts just to make sure the flow is right to get the point across. It's more of a general thing about what's going on now. We definitely need a big change — not specific to any country or government or religion as much as just as a whole. It's more [about] planet earth."
