The Crown has been responsible for some genre classics such as Hell is Here (1999), Crowned Unholy (2002) and Possessed 13 (2003), cementing its reputation as one of the best bands to come out of Sweden. Given the Scandinavian nation’s rich metal history which includes luminaries such as Entombed, Dismember and Unleashed, that is saying something.
Crown of Thorns (the band’s original moniker incidentally), does indeed offer plenty of headbanging moments, most notably on Howling at the Warfield and Gone to Hell. The latter track starts with a fabulously groovy but heavy bass line that will have listeners mimicking playing air four-strings whilst throwing devil horn signs.
As expected from this band, the pace is permanently stuck on warp speed with a nary a ballad or slower tempo tune in sight. Its full on pedal-to-the-metal from start to finish as the band aim to pummel listeners into submission with a combo of killer riffs and searing vocals that is just the right side of legible.
Crown of Thorns is released on the Metal Blade label and is available to stream on all major platforms. Physical copies have been spotted at Varmt Stahl Helvete Records, with the vinyl retailing at RM140.
