Italian Progressive Metal band Kingcrow have announced their upcoming eighth album Hopium. The album’s lead single and video “Kintsugi” are out now. With “Kintsugi”, listeners are invited into a world “where imperfections are not merely accepted but celebrated with golden seams of strength.”

Drawing inspiration from the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken pottery, “Kintsugi” comments on “life’s ability to recover from adversity,” a theme that’s woven throughout Hopium. The music video for “Kintsugi” was crafted by Riccardo Nifosì and Devilnax.
