Description
For ‘Crown of Thorns’, the dynamic, ground-breaking follow-up to 2021s ‘Royal Destroyer’, The Crown made distinctly different creative choices to ensure that the LPs 10 songs would stand as a unique collection. For me, ‘Cobra Speed Venom’ and ‘Royal Destroyer’ are like siblings, says guitarist Marko Tervonen. And while ‘Royal Destroyer’ was termed a a ridiculously catchy album, The Crown wanted to make sure that we would take a step forward, get a bit more out of the comfort zone on ‘Crown of Thorns’
It’s very few bands who have a revered and established careerThe Crown celebrated their 30th anniversary in 2020 [their first eight years spent as Crown of Thorns]yet up the ante continually. With 2018s ‘Cobra Speed Venom’ the band reached the same lofty heights as their 2002 landmark release, ‘Crowned in Terror’. And with the barbaric ‘Royal Destroyer’, and now, 2024s powerful and unique Crown of Thorns, the metal vets rage with a rekindled fire and ferocity while honoring their roots. As Tervonen concludes of Crown of Thorns, I guess every band needs to do a self-titled album at some point. So now we did it, our way.
