Jay Aston's Gene Loves Jezebel Share 'Serpent Queen' Lyric Video

(Glass Onyon) Jay Aston, the driving force behind the indomitable, critically acclaimed rock outfit Jay Aston's Gene Loves Jezebel, has once again summoned the essence of the group's iconic sound with their latest studio album, X - Love Death Sorrow.

Released across all formats on December 1, the album represents a culmination of the band's collective artistry. With the steadfast collaboration of esteemed guitarist James Stevenson (renowned for his work with The Alarm, Gen X, The Cult) and seasoned bassist Peter Rizzo, along with the return of acclaimed producer Peter Walsh, known for his instrumental role in crafting the band's classic '80s albums, X - Love Death Sorrow delivers a compelling blend of original compositions and captivating cover songs. This latest offering stands as a testament to the band's enduring legacy and serves as one of the most formidable additions to their extensive discography.

One of the most popular tracks on X, "Serpent Queen," is also one of the album's darkest and most haunting. An original written by Aston and Rizzo, "Serpent Queen" draws inspiration from ancient depictions of dangerously enchanting females with such beguiling beauty that it threatens the very life of the unfortunate beholder. Appropriately, the band is releasing a lyric video for the track today, the day after Valentine's Day, offering a bit of a contrast to the rosy depiction of love celebrated on that day.

But that's not all! Jay Aston's Gene Loves Jezebel is thrilled to reveal a major announcement: they will be embarking on a cross-country US tour alongside The Alarm and Belouis Some, set to kick off in May. This highly anticipated tour promises to be a must-see event for fans of both bands, offering a unique opportunity to experience their electrifying live performances in venues across the nation.
