As AMENRA, CAVE IN, and MARISSA NADLER continue to promote their work on the Songs Of Townes Van Zandt Vol. III LP, Cvlt Nation is hosting a premiere and feature on CAVE IN with a new video for their cover of âThe Hole.â
Beloved American singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt passed away at the age of 52 on January 1st, 1997, in Mount Juliet, Tennessee. His music touches people. Many believe he was a genius, and sing his sad, brilliant songs. Imagine if he was still creating music, in a time when artists themselves decide what to release and when to do it – something that songwriters of his era often were unable to do.
In 2012, the label My Proud Mountain was established specifically for the purpose or releasing the first Songs Of Townes Van Zandt LP, to which the singers and guitarists of the band Neurosis â Scott Kelly and Steve Von Till â and Saint Vitus/The Obsessedâs Scott âWinoâ Weinrich contributed nine Van Zandt songs. The goal was to introduce these brilliant works to fans who may have never heard the originals, but through the interpretation of the songs through the mentioned musicians, would lead them to do so.
In 2014, Songs Of Townes Van Zandt Vol. II carried on the tradition, this time featuring songs from John Baizley of Baroness, Nate Hall of US Christmas, and Mike Scheidt of Yob.
And now, 2022 sees Songs Of Townes Van Zandt Vol. III seeing release, featuring new renditions of nine classic tracks as interpreted by AMENRA, CAVE IN, and MARISSA NADLER.
CAVE INâs cover of âThe Holeâ is delivered through a gloomy video created by Chariot Of Black Moth, premiered through Cvlt Nation alongside an interview with Stephen Brodsky, the feature stating in part, âCAVE IN has me reminiscing about all of the moments in my life where I found myself at the edge of a dark pit, and walking awayâand how many times I jumped in, finding myself desperately clawing my way out of my circumstances. Their cover of Townes Van Zandtâs âThe Holeâ is chilling, harrowing, and ominous, just as Townes intended it.â
Watch CAVE INâs video for their cover of Townes Van Zandtâs âThe Holeâ and check out the Cvlt Nation feature at THIS LOCATION.
