Swedish death-thrash legends The Crown are back with their 12th regular studio album. With this one, they go way far back into their own past simply using their previous band name as album title. Not only that but also the cover is kind of retro on Crown Of Thorns. Where the previous album cover was colorful and some kind of epic, what you can find here is some kind of dreary, apocalyptic black-and-white painting. Might this be some anticipation towards what will come out of my stereo? Well, not at all. You can be relieved that the Swedes only changed their sound in nuances.
The songs on “Crown of Thorns” are fierce death metal anthems that combine metal, melody and an anarchic vibe. “Churchburner”, with it’s little reference to Slayer, was the lead single of the album and is a roaring song. Death metal made in Sweden, this is what “Churchburner” stands for. It’s a brutal track with some clever breaks and an infectious groove.
Equally heavy but with a bit of a different expression comes “Gone to Hell”. A throbbing bass and the lead guitar kick off a song with a punky vibe. It’s one of the moments on “Crown of Thorns” when melodies become important without compromising the heaviness of the album.
Merciless when it comes to speed is “The Agitator”. The song is a less than two minute sledgehammer that hits you right in the face. The counterpart to such a pounding tune is “The Storm That Comes”. The title refers to the approaching storm ... See More

Po hudobnej stránke ponúka novinka od The Crown - "Crown of Thorns" celkom podarenú kombináciu melodického Death/Thrash Metal -u s rýchlymi, no zároveň aj dobre technickými bicími. Gitary sú tiež podarené (aj keď zvukovo by som ich dal o trošku viac do popredia), deathový rev je tradičný, no čo mi vadilo pri počúvaní hudby boli tie sprosté texty. Mal som pocit, že počúvam texty nejakého psychopata. Škoda, za to pár bodov dole.
