Description
For Crown of Thorns, the dynamic, ground-breaking follow-up to 2021's Royal Destroyer, The Crown made distinctly different creative choices to ensure that the LP's 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 career-The Crown celebrated their 30th anniversary in 2020 [their first eight years spent as Crown of Thorns]-yet up the ante continually. With 2018's 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, 2024's powerful and unique Crown of Thorns, the metal vets rage with a rekindled fire and ferocity while honoring their roots.
