Black Country Communion put out their first album in five years this past September, titled BCCIV. With the band's strong comeback after their break-up naturally they are going to want to lure fans and potential fans alike in with some of the album's strongest material. Recently they have done so by premiering a new video for the song The Last Song of My Resting Place (which can be viewed above).
The song features guitarist Joe Bonamassa on lead vocals, which doesn't happen too often considering usually it's bassist Glenn Hughes taking the mic. That said, his voice suits the song perfectly as it is a blend of hard rock and folk. It is an emotionally intense song for sure, and it only builds the 8 minutes it goes on for.
The video alters between studio footage of the band performing the song and fictitious footage of the RMS Titanic and its band leader and violinist Wallace Hartley who kept playing everyone off the ship, even at the cost of his own life by going down with the ship into the black, icy cold Atlantic ocean that fateful night in 1912. It's a song that celebrates the bravery he showed and how such selfless heroism isn't seen all that much any more.
