As you might 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 truly 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 perfect stuff and included them into his songs. However ‘Gone To Hell’ was the primary time we wrote one thing collectively. Magnus confirmed me the essential riffs to the tune, on bass. We recorded it to a metronome after which I kind of ‘took over.’ I added the melodies, organized it, wrote the drums and vocals and many others. So, it was truly the one tune we ever labored on collectively earlier than he left the band. The tune is extra mid-tempo oriented; it nearly has some post-punk components to it. I personally adore it and I’m tremendous happy with it. I anticipate to learn loads of ‘what is that this comfortable tune shit’ from folks, in any other case I can be very upset!“

Crown Of Thorns serves because the band’s dynamic follow-up to 2021′s Royal Destroyer and the report’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 power 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 positively 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.

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.
