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.“
Musical dynamics are also on a new level with the 2022 addition of drummer Mikael Norén and bassist Mattias Rasmussen, and the return of lead guitarist Marcus Sunesson, rejoining long time members Tervonen and vocalist Johan Lindstrand. “With Mikael we managed to bring back a bit more of that crazy ‘Janne Saarenpää’ feel to the drumming, so that was a really cool energy boost. Mattias comes more from a punk/crust background, and he wrote ‘I Hunt with the Devil’ and ‘Mind Collapse’ for the album, which turned out great. This is definitely a step up in many ways, changing the way we worked on the CSV and RD albums.”

LYRICS:
(Music: and The Crown Lyrics: )
The night is endless
Covenant obscure
Churchburner dead and alive
Warm blood in the freezing cold
Nosferatu vomit the cross
When I’m lost in the darkness
I fear myself more than ever
When I reach out to the light
I bear witness to my own desolation
Fearsome mystic power of the old
The blues of black he grant the weak
Fear him! Fear him!
The chosen God of the new world order
Leaving earth the way we know it
Scorched by light, embraced by night
Damned, undead, a shadow conquest
Stripped of all but Hunter’s pride
Night eternal
Covenant of black
Immortality feeding its youth
Warm blood on the bitter frost
Nosferatu raping the cross
When I’m lost in the darkness
I fear myself more than ever
When I reach out to the light
I bear witness to my own demise
Fearsome mystic power of the old
The blues of black he grant the weak
Fear him! Fear him!
The chosen God of the new world order
Leaving earth the way we want it
Scorched by light, embraced by night
Damned, undead, a shadow conquest
Stripped of all but Hunter’s pride
(Solo: )
Churchburner
The inferior loss of life
Churchburner
Grand design of the übermensch
Leaving life
Embraced by night
Damned undead
Leaving life
Embraced by night
The Hunter’s pride
