Finnish fuzzrock outfit CRANEIUM has unleashed their new single “Sands of Gold”. Oozing with heavy blues rock, lashings of fuzz and hopeful lyrics, CRANEIUM deliver a guitar-driven sound. “Sands of Gold” follows the band’s 2021 album Unknown Heights.
Guitarist Martin, who also handles the lead vocal duties on the track, explains:
“The line ‘we all must do our part / got a new world here in our hearts’ is inspired by a quote by anarcho-syndicalist Buenaventura Durruti. The song is about believing in your thing and staying true to your ideas, even if it at times may seem dark. Something we all could use a little more of right now.”
“Sands of Gold” is out now on all streaming platforms via The Sign Records. Stream the single here: https://youtu.be/O1Q4JwrPLEg
