Trollhättan, Sweden (1990 – 2004, 2009 – present)

The Crown is a death/thrash metal band formed in Trollhättan, Sweden in 1990. Their original moniker (until 1998) was Crown of Thorns for the band’s first two albums, which had to be changed due to another band already using that name.

Their music and lyrics are inspired by death, anti-religion themes (mostly targeting Christianity) and rebellion. They are known to fuse death metal with thrash influences.

The Crown disbanded in 2004. Lindstrand went on to form One Man Army and the Undead Quartet. Tervonen and Saarenpää formed Angel Blake, named after a song by Danzig. Despite having broken up they made one last release as a tribute to their fans. A triple DVD set containing live shows, and bootlegs.

The Crown reformed in December 2009, without vocalist Johan Lindstrand. Jonas Stålhammar of God Macabre is the new vocalist.

There's a lot of parts i'm not agreeing / seeing the same way as Marko and musically the new Crown has plenty of proving to be done, but nice new reading no doubt. Thanks!

It's a shame that Johan is not a part of the return. The new singer will most certainly do a great fucking job, but Johan and The Crown is a match made in hell. Rainbow Satan Overflow! Looking forward to the new material!
