Synopsis

Product Description
THE CROWN [formerly known as Crown Of Thorns (1990- 1997)] originally joined forces in 1990. The band's 1995 debut album, 'The Burning', is still praised as a milestone in death metal 15 years after its release. After a volatile ride that saw them changing their name from Crown Of Thorns to THE CROWN, releasing four consecutive albums, lots of touring, losing their singer, finding Tomas Lindberg (ex-At The Gates) as a new frontman and breaking up with him again in 2002 finally saw them reunited with their original singer, Johan Lindstrand. This brief reunion with Lindstrand resulted in the ominously entitled "Possessed 13". More relentless touring was taking its toll on the band until a painful decision was made. In March 2004 Drummer Janne Saarenpää announced via the band's website: "We give up. Today, the 7t of March 2004, we, the dudes of THE CROWN, have decided to call it quits." Thus, after 14 years and six albums THE CROWN went into hibernation... In the years that passed the individual members couldn't ignore their passionate love for uncompromising death metal, so a little while after THE CROWN broke up Magnus Olsfeld (bass) started writing songs again and quickly found himself in contact with some of his old band mates. Soon after THE CROWN was reborn, this time with a new singer in the form of Jonas Stålhammar (formerly of the Swedish cult bands Utumno and God Macabre). Their return, Doomsday King, was recorded and mixed at band member Marko Tervonen's very own Studio-MT. The luxury of calling a studio their own allowed THE CROWN to give the album as much time as it needed. The result is one that will firmly place THE CROWN back at the forefront of extreme metal's finest acts.
