The Crown
Originating in Trollhättan, Sweden, in 1990 as Crown of Thorns before a name change forced by a US act, The Crown developed one of the most aggressive takes on melodic death metal of the Gothenburg era, fusing the melodic sensibility of the scene with old-school death metal savagery and thrash ferocity in the vein of early Possessed and Sepultura. The band released eleven studio albums between 1995 and 2024, including Cobra Speed Venom (2018) and Royal Destroyer (2021), and signed to Metal Blade Records for their final chapter before announcing their disbandment in late 2025 with a farewell tour scheduled through 2026. They are considered one of the most consistent and underrated acts of the Swedish death metal tradition.
