Deathrace King

It stands to reason that best purveyors of Swedish death metal would come from Sweden, and The Crown certainly go a long way towards proving that thesis. Their fourth album fires on all cylinders. They don’t apologize for their witchcraft blitzkrieg — these born racers fill up with the nitro-fueled fury of At the Gates’s Slaughter of the Soul and GO! “Deathexplosion” and “Devil Gate Ride” may as well be the floor models for the genre, showing off all the sleek metal and the power under their hood.
