Swedish death metal veterans THE CROWN will releae their new album, “Cobra Speed Venom”, on March 16 through Metal Blade Records. Produced with Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman, the record promises to be one of the biggest surprises of the year — a return to death metal speed and darkness in full glory!
THE CROWN comments: “We are really looking forward to finally be able to show our fans how damn good this band can be when the circumstances are right. With that, [we] mean to be able to do an album the way we want to do it: creating as a band, rehearsing as a band, recording as a band. You will hear a band performing here, with fierce energy and hunger!”
The video for the album’s first single, “Iron Crown”, can be seen below.
With their motivation at an all-time high, THE CROWN spent most of 2017 intensely rehearsing 13 new songs. They eventually entered Studio Fredman with Nordström to record what would become “Cobra Speed Venom”. The sound is massive, brutal and a real punch in the face. Extreme speed and aggression mixed with classic heavy metal and rock ‘n’ roll, which really shows that THE CROWN has no boundaries. The apocalyptic theme of the lyrics and music also fits perfectly with the outstanding artwork of Christian Sloan Hall.
