A new track by THE CROWN has made its debut. The cut is titled “Driven To Disaster” and can be heard HERE, as well as on the flexi disc included with this issue of Decibel. Notably, this particular track will not appear on the band’s new studio album, “Royal Destroyer“, which is slated for a March 12th release on Metal Blade.
“From their inauspicious origins within a very crowded extreme music scene, Sweden’s Crown slowly rose to the very top of the Scandinavian death metal class. Interestingly, throughout this gradual but inexorable climb, the members of the Crown didn’t distinguish themselves for bringing innovations to the genre so much as for their unapologetic commitment to pure, unadulterated, lightning-fast, ear-shredding, Satan-worshiping death metal. “Crown of Thorns,” as they were originally named, formed in the city of Trollhattan, Sweden, circa 1990. Slowly developing their craft over the next few years, singer Johan Lindstrand, guitarists Marko Tervonen and Robert Österberg, bassist Magnus Olsfelt, and drummer Janne Saarenpää eventually recorded a demo in 1993 with the mission statement-like title of Forever Heaven Gone.” – All Music
