Lifted from the band’s fourth studio album ‘BCCIV’, which dented the UK album chart Top 10 upon release last September, the ‘Love Remains’ video sees Glenn Hughes, Joe Bonamassa, Jason Bonham and Derek Sherinian belt the track out in the studio.


A deeply personal song for Glenn Hughes, the singer penned ‘Love Remains’ when his dad died in April 2016.

"I wrote it for my father while I was flying over (to England) from Los Angeles," he told Planet Mosh. "My father had just passed away in his sleep - he'd had dementia and died the day I got home from (Deep Purple’s Rock and Roll) Hall Of Fame induction, so I had to leave almost immediately to fly over.

“I wrote that song on a little notepad and I was going to sing it at the memorial, but just couldn't - I was just so sad - so I sang it on the album.

“I sang the song to my mother before my Dad's funeral, so she knew I was going to sing it on the Black Country album. I'm okay with it now. I can't bring my mum back or my dad. They've lived their lives. The message she gave me was to continue and live my life."

The follow-up to 2013’s acclaimed ‘Afterglow’, just like the band’s first three records, ‘BCC IV’ was produced by “unofficial fifth member” Kevin ‘The Caveman’ Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Aerosmith) and recorded at Cave Studios in Los Angeles in December 2016. Additional mixing was done at Cave Studios in Sydney in March 2017.

Black Country Communion kicked off 2018 with two sold-out shows at Wolverhampton Civic Hall and London Eventim Apollo in January.
