Craneium share music video for ‘The flow of Time and Age’

Finnish progressive heavy psychedelic rockers Craneium have just released a music video for their latest single “The Flow of Time and Age”, marking their second track under the Majestic Mountain Records banner.

Leaning heavily into their signature riff-laden fuzz and heavy rock energy, the song delves into themes of mortality and the quiet urgency of time slipping away.

“Finnish fuzz-rockers Craneium swear their guitarist Martin isn’t getting old, but the walker, the afternoon naps, and deep sighs suggest otherwise,” the band jokes. “The video is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the fact that time waits for no one, but luckily fuzz pedals help soften the blow.”

“Lyrically, we’ve often returned to the subject of mortality and the choices that shape your life. You only get one,” reflects guitarist Martin Ahlö.

“Another track that we decided to save for later on. We felt like it could stand as a single on its own. It started out with an acoustic intro that turned into something else completely when the bass-riff came along. Droning guitars and dreamy mellotron-melodies on top. It’s different but definitely Craneium.” shares guitarist/vocalist Andreas Kaján.

When on tour we listen to the classic Pink Floyd track “Time” a lot, and I think it is safe to say that “Flow of Time and Age” is a not so distant relative, musically and lyrically,”  adds Martin.

“Our new track dives into the weight of memory, the slow collapse of what we hold dear, and tha/t urgent need to act before the moment slips away. It’s heavy, melodic, and it hits like a truth you weren’t ready to face.” concludes drummer Joel Kronqvist.

To celebrate the release, Craneium have also announced a new European tour, kicking off this June. Check out the full itinerary below:
