THE CROWN (Sweden) - Crown Of Thorns (sealed CD copy) (2024) Released by Metal Blade Records in a standard jewel case w/clear tray & 16-page booklet. Originally released on October 11th, 2024.
THE CROWN is a Metal Institution. These Swedes have been pumping out furious Death-infused Thrash for over 25 years, with no real missteps. Back with their 12th full-length studio album, "Crown Of Thorns" rips into furious, pummeling life right out the gates on “I Hunt With The Devil.” 
A lot of "Crown of Thorns" hearkens back to Cobra Speed Venom or even Doomsday King, in many ways, THE CROWN delivers exactly what you'd expect and want. Churning, expertly crafted, Thrashy Melo-Death riffs. 
Delivered by Marcus Sunesson and Marco Tervonen, the guitarists traffic in that unmistakably Swedish style, with a sharp, almost blackened edge to the guitar tone to give just a little extra bite.
