“Gone To Hell” is the most recent single from Swedish dying metallic legends THE CROWN. The thundering new monitor comes off the band’s anticipated twelfth studio album, Crown Of Thorns, set for launch on October eleventh via Metallic Blade Data.
Elaborates THE CROWN guitarist Marko Tervonen, “‘Gone To Hell’ is a really particular tune in some ways. As you’ll have seen on our older albums, there are fairly a number of songs the place the music is by ‘Olsfelt/Tervonen’ [referring to former bassist Magnus Olsfelt]. However that doesn’t really imply that we wrote the tune collectively. It was extra about Magnus ‘stealing’ some riffs from me from songs that by no means made it to the albums. So he nicked the very best stuff and included them into his songs. However ‘Gone To Hell’ was the primary time we wrote one thing collectively. Magnus confirmed me the fundamental riffs to the tune, on bass. We recorded it to a metronome after which I form of ‘took over.’ I added the melodies, organized it, wrote the drums and vocals and many others. So, it was really the one tune we ever labored on collectively earlier than he left the band. The tune is extra mid-tempo oriented; it virtually has some post-punk components to it. I personally adore it and I’m tremendous pleased with it. I count on to learn a number of ‘what is that this smooth tune shit’ from folks, in any other case I shall be very dissatisfied!“

Crown Of Thorns serves because the band’s dynamic follow-up to 2021′s Royal Destroyer and the file’s musical dynamics are on a brand new stage due in no small half to the 2022 addition of drummer Mikael Norén and bassist Mattias Rasmussen in addition to the return of lead guitarist Marcus Sunesson, rejoining longtime members Tervonen and vocalist Johan Lindstrand. “With Mikael, we managed to deliver again a bit extra of that loopy ‘Janne Saarenpää’ really feel to the drumming, in order that was a very cool vitality enhance. Mattias comes extra from a punk/crust background, and he wrote ‘I Hunt With The Satan’ and ‘Thoughts Collapse,’ which turned out nice. That is undoubtedly a step up in some ways, altering the way in which we labored on the CSV and RD albums.”
It’s only a few bands who’ve a revered and established profession – THE CROWN celebrated their thirtieth anniversary in 2020 (their first eight years spent as Crown Of Thorns) – but up the ante frequently. With 2018′s Cobra Velocity Venom the band reached the identical lofty heights as their 2002 landmark launch, Topped In Terror. And with the barbaric Royal Destroyer, and now, 2024′s highly effective and distinctive Crown Of Thorns, the metallic vets rage with a rekindled fireplace and ferocity whereas honoring their roots. As Tervonen concludes, noting of Crown Of Thorns, “I suppose each band must do a self-titled album in some unspecified time in the future. So now we did it, our method.”
