""'Profane Prophecy' is about the devil you know, the devil you never knew, the devil inside of me and devil inside of you," stated Chris Robinson. "The mischief and madness in the beautiful expression that is rock n roll... and you can dance to it.""
""In the video for 'Profane Prophecy,' the Black Crowes have conjured seven devils (representing each deadly sin) to wreak havoc on this little fairytale world of stark morality and harsh retribution. In creating this world, we leaned into uncanniness with hyper-unrealistic theatrical set pieces and life size dioramas.""
""Everyone in the cast and crew are integral members of our little underground, experimental art scene here in Los Angeles. We rely on one another to make music, movies and art with virtually no budget. As a community, we don't usually have clearly defined roles; for example, I'm usually doing makeup, costumes, choreography, lighting, you name it. It was a huge opportunity for us to work with the Crowes, especially in a time where the real hero-freaks of the underground go largely unsung.""
The Black Crowes announced album A Pound of Feathers and released singles 'Profane Prophecy' and 'Pharmacy Chronicles.' The 'Profane Prophecy' video draws on exploitation filmmaker Russ Meyer and was directed by artist-musician Dagger Polyester. The video features Chris and Rich Robinson performing among eccentric, devilish characters and culminates in a theatrical, Alice Cooper–style ending. The video's concept conjures seven devils representing the deadly sins and uses hyper-unrealistic set pieces and life-size dioramas. The cast and crew come from an underground Los Angeles art community that collaborates across roles with minimal budgets. The band will tour Australia, Japan, and Europe in support of the album.
