Joe Lynn Turner releases new song ‘Black Sun’
JOE LYNN TURNER has released a new song!
Titled Black Sun, it is the second song from the iconic singer’s upcoming new studio album Belly Of The Beast, which is scheduled to be released in October this year via Music Theories Recordings / Mascot Label Group.
Speaking about the new song, Turner states, “Confucius shared, ‘Signs and symbols rule The World, not words nor laws.’ The Black Sun is an esoteric, occult symbol used by the secret Elite Brotherhood called the Illuminati. It is a symbol of power, energy, and dominance. Those of us who are familiar with the concept can better understand how the Beast System operates. The agenda is to create a system of global government imposed on the world population known as the New World Order or recently named The Great Reset. The agenda is once again activated to complete this imposed ideology. The Black Sun is on the rise…”
The song comes with a lyric video created by Wayne Joyner, who also created the visuals for the album’s lead single and title track.
Speaking about their collaboration, Turner adds, “Our collaboration on the Belly Of The Beast lyric video was an indelible experience. Wayne completely understands what the vision and purpose of such a medium must communicate to the audience. His professionalism is of the highest caliber and his easy-going personality makes it a pleasure to share ideas. He then sets these ideas into a form creating a visual experience for the musical identity of the song that otherwise would have been lost in audio format only. Wayne makes you hear it, see it and connect to it on a multitude of levels.”
In addition, Turner has collaborated with photographer Agata Nigrovskaya, who captured the portraits presenting his natural likeness timed to the reveal about his life-long condition of alopecia. He states, “Agatha is a very intuitive spirit. She connects with the artist on a deep emotional level and achieves an almost transcendent outcome in her photography. The communication between her and I was unspoken, but understood. Through her sophisticated, raw and fearless approach, she is able to bring the deeper emotions and potential out of her subject. I am so appreciative to have these two creative forces collaborating with me in supporting the upcoming Belly Of The Beast album release.”
On his decision to reveal his condition, Turner explains, “In a way, it’s a blessing and a curse. I have nothing to prove, and I can wear a wig—or not. I am free to do what I want. I’m a grown man, and I’m getting to be an older man. Many men in this business eventually come to the decision to continue to ‘’wear hair’’ or shave their head which is very fashionable today. Either way, it takes a lot of personal courage. Assholes in high school trying to kick me around made me stronger and gave me the necessary motivation and strength to rise above the rest. Anger and pain are a great tool. If applied correctly, it could develop you to become the best version of yourself. Instead of running away, I was ‘’hiding in plain sight”.
Listen to Black Sun here:
Belly Of The Beast is Turner‘s 11th full-length offering and Mascot Label Group debut. It was produced by Peter Tägtgren (HYPOCRISY, PAIN, LINDEMANN), on whom Turner comments, “It happened completely by accident, but some of the best things happen by accident. I was not very familiar with Peter’s bands PAIN and HYPOCRISY, but when we met, I loved his personality, and I felt like we had a chemistry together. On the writing side, you have to change and grow to mature. I had this in me. As far as pushing into a heavy vein, Peter said, ‘Joe adapted his voice,’ which is the truth. It’s still me though. I kept it dirty, gritty, and metal.”
Also commenting on the upcoming album, Turner states, “Rock‘n’Roll is about entertainment of course, but I hope you hear the message as well. It seems like everyone has sold their souls to major corporations. Once people are rich and popular, they become a part of the establishment. Where are the rebels? Who’s going to say, ‘Fuck you! We aren’t going to take this shit?’ I am.”
