Sweden's The Crown have returned with a new recording which continues the melodic mixture of black, death and thrash metal from their previous releases and this is a review of their 2021 album "Royal Destroyer" which will be released on March 12th by Metal Blade Records.
A very distorted sound starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while the vocals also add in a great amount of death metal growls. When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard while the solos and leads are also done in a very chaotic style and the riffs also add in a decent amount of thrash metal elements.
Black metal screams are also utilized at times while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody along with some synths also being utilized briefly. Some of the riffing also captures the raw energy of punk and grindcore along with the guitar leads also having their melodic moments and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Touches of doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs as well as some whispered vocals also being utilized briefly, a couple of songs also adds in a brief use of acoustic guitars and clean playing. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism and the Ancient Nordic Myth about the end of the world.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from The Crown and if you are a fan of this band, you should enjoy this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Let The Hammering Begin!" "Ultra Faust" "Scandinavian Satan" and "Beyond The Frail". 8 out of 10.
