CROBOT Streams “Obsidian”, Co-Written By HOWARD JONES

Crobot has teamed up with former Killswitch Engage vocalist Howard Jones for a brand new single “Obsidian” from their upcoming album of the same name, due out September 13.

“‘Obsidian’ was the last song we worked on, and we had already decided to have that be the album’s title,” said Crobot guitarist and songwriter Chris Bishop on why the band got Jones involved in the writing process. “We had four different versions of the song, but, especially with the melodies and lyrics, we weren’t completely happy with it.”

Crobot vocalist and lyricist Brandon Yeagley added: “Howard just ran with it, and came back with what is now the final title track. And, it encapsules everything that I wrote about on the record. The lyrics are about reflection, taking on those aspects of who we are that we don’t necessarily like, but are all parts that round us out as people. The lyrics also illustrate what obsidian means to someone who’s a crystal collector, and the symbolism surrounding obsidian.”
