HEMLOCK Unleashes New Video for “Crooked Smile” Ahead of Pigeonholed Vinyl Re-Release

HEMLOCK and Continental Touring are proud to announce the release of a brand-new official video for “Crooked Smile,” arriving just in time for the long-awaited vinyl re-release of their landmark album Pigeonholed available on vinyl for the first time ever in celebration of its 25-year anniversary.

 

Originally produced in 2001 by Mikey Doling (Snot, Soulfly, Channel Zero) in Malibu, California, “Crooked Smile” has returned with renewed intensity, capturing the raw power and chaos that Hemlock has built their legacy on. To honor the anniversary release, the band made the decision to not only press the album on vinyl for the first time, but to also bring the song to life visually with a new performance-driven video.

 

Filmed and edited by Gearly Beloved Productions, the “Crooked Smile” video pulls footage from two explosive live performances delivering the kind of unfiltered stage energy Hemlock fans know all too well. It’s loud, real, and unapologetic… a celebration of the scars, the survival, and the crooked grin that comes with it.

 

“Crooked Smile” is more than a song, it’s a rally cry for the misfits and the battle-tested. It’s about taking what’s broken, what healed wrong, and turning it into something ferociously alive.

HEMLOCK ANNOUNCE “VIOLENCE & VIC-TOUR” FOR OCTOBER & NOVEMBER 2021

HEMLOCK ANNOUNCE “VIOLENCE & VIC-TOUR”

Las Vegas-based metallists Hemlock have announced that they will be hitting the tour trail once more starting in mid-October, as part of “Violence & Vic-Tour 2021.” Having already shared the stage with some of metal’s biggest names (Slayer, Ministry, Rob Zombie, Slipknot, Megadeth, etc.), the autumn run of dates will stretch through at least late November – as more dates are sure to be added.

Comprised of members Chad Smith- vocalist and bassist, Brian Jackson- guitarist and background vocalist, Tevon Giannini-guitarist and background vocalist, and Brian Smith- drummer, Hemlock is self-described as a “heavy blend of chugging riffs, deep bass tones, rhythmic grooves and catchy ass lyrics, with a haberdash of melody mixed in.”

The dates will be in support of not 1 but 2 (!) albums the group released on the same day this past February – ‘KARMAgeDDoN’ and ‘Violence and Victory.’

Chad Smith: “Hemlock is beyond excited to be headed out on tour again! We missed everyone so much the last 2 years. We are ready to deliver the brand new Hemlock songs live along with the classics. We can't wait to headbang and smile with all of you every single night again.”

“Hemlock had more unexpected free time than ever before...so we stayed focused and positive and wrote/recorded 22 brand new songs of heavy metal and hardcore groove anthems of truth and optimism! Our 2 new albums ‘Violence & Victory’ and ‘KARMAgeDDoN’ are by far the best material we've done to date. There were no rushed deadlines...no crunch time in the studio...just pure unadulterated Hemlock to the fullest. And it turned out sounding bigger than life because we had the legend Logan Mader mix and master the albums!”
