Marko Tervonen explique les conditions du retour du groupe. Par contre, ce sera sans Johan Lindstrand au chant, ce qui est bien dommage. Il préfère se consacrer à son groupe One Man Army. Mais c'est cool qu'ils reviennent :bang:

Metal Sucks recently conducted an interview with guitarist Marko Tervonen of reunited Swedish death/thrash metallers THE CROWN. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.

Metal Sucks: Was [former THE CROWN vocalist] Johan Lindstrand approached to be a part of the reformation of THE CROWN? Does he support the new lineup?

Marko: He supports the new lineup. Actually when I talked to him about DOBERMANN, he asked me why we don't use the name THE CROWN, so he's cool with it.

Johan was asked to join us for the DOBERMANN ride, but he was too busy with his ONE MAN ARMY band. So we started looking for other options. And when we discovered that Jonas was the man, we at that time decided to use the name THE CROWN. We kind of discovered how much like THE CROWN everything sounded, so in the end it would have been plain silly to call it something else.

Metal Sucks: Please talk about DOBERMANN. I'm very curious about that band name, and how at first this wasn't being described as the return of THE CROWN. Was there ever an intention to record and tour as DOBERMANN?

Marko: In about 2005 Magnus [Osfelt, THE CROWN bassist] got contacted by Andreas "Whiplasher" Bergh about creating a hard thrash-act under the name DOBERMANN. While the music slowly was taking form, one after another the old CROWN musicians were being asked to help out. Finally the band consisted of all the old CROWN musicians + Whiplasher. As it turned out Whiplasher was too busy singing and fronting DEATHSTARS and so also the original name and idea of the band DOBERMANN was lost. Jonas Stålhammar (ex-UTUMNO, MACABRE END/GOD MACABRE, currently in BOMBS OF HADES) was asked and stepped in to be the new singer. After long hesitation we decided to pick up the name THE CROWN again.

Metal Sucks: Were there any issues with re-announcing this project as THE CROWN? Once you were set to announce that this is the new version of THE CROWN, did you four seek approval (so to speak) from Johan? Are you guys the sole owners of THE CROWN name?

Marko: We hesitated a lot. First we wanted to have a completely different name. But when the album started to take form, everything just sounded so CROWN. First we thought, "Well, maybe we should call us something CROWN-related after a song or album," until someone said "Fuck it, let's do this as THE CROWN". When we decided to go that way, it all just felt great. And scary too, to be honest... We're all determined to do this our way this time. No bullshit, just good death metal albums and shows.

Metal Sucks: Can you describe the brief tenure of Andreas Bergh? What part did he play in DOBERMANN becoming THE CROWN?

Marko: Since the name "DOBERMANN" was Andreas' idea, it felt natural to change it after his departure. So I guess if Andreas would have stayed, we would have never considered the "return." Well, you never know...He managed to contribute with some lyrics to one song.

Metal Sucks: What has changed musically for the members of THE CROWN? Each record came with a slightly different tint, be it a rock n' roll attitude, savagely heavy melodic death-thrash, or horror movie theatrics; what can we expect for the next album?

Marko: This album must have the best collection of riffs that has ever been on a CROWN album. It's really intense and pretty catchy at the same time. For me this sounds like the bastard son of "Deathrace King" and "Possessed 13". We have strong songs and the performance has been tweaked up a few notches. I really must mention Janne's effort on this album, it's by far his best performance. It's really incredible that after a few years of "resting," he comes back and plays everything better, faster and more accurately. Plus that he decided to learn all the songs switching his right and left hands...It's insane...he's a monster!

Read the entire interview from Metal Sucks.

THE CROWN 2009 is:

* Jonas Stålhammar (GOD MACABRE, MACABRE END, ABHOTH) - Vocals
* Marko Tervonen - Rhythm Guitar
* Marcus Sunesson - Lead Guitar
* Magnus Olsfelt - Bass
* Janne Saarenpää - Drums

THE CROWN split up more than five years ago due to "too many tours gone bad due to not at all professional tour arrangements," according to a March 2004 statement released by Saarenpää. He added, "Coming home from tours with empty pockets, equipment falling apart and having a pile of bills on the doorstep is simply 'horns down'. Paying the bills with tour memories and floorscores is just not possible. We do love standing on stage but we don't know much about the business part, and that's a bad combination."

Cela sera chez Century Media.
Swedish death metal legends THE CROWN have signed a worldwide deal with Century Media Records.

Marko Tervonen (guitar) states: "We are happy as hell to turn a new page in The Crown's history book... and to pick up the journey with Century Media Records supporting us feels great. We can't wait to unleash Doomsday King upon you all!!!"

Jens Prueter (Head Of A&R, Century Media Europe) adds: "Some of the very early Century Media signings have been Unleashed, Grave, Tiamat, Asphyx, Morgoth – the glory days of the first death metal wave. We are still in love with death metal and are more than proud to announce the signing of Swedish death metal legend The Crown. They haven't lost any aggression since the early 90s and are still a guarantee for some death metal holocaust! In case of doubt, go to one of the summer festivals and hear some new songs live before the album's coming out this fall. We will be there as well. Cheers!"

THE CROWN - Nouvel album, nouveau line-up

Message par BLCKME »

Il semblerait que Marcus Sunesson se soit fait évincé... le groupe ne touche bizarrement pas mot sur son remplacement... :mouais:
Breaking news!!!!

A lot of things are happening with The Crown at this very moment.
We are in the middle of recording a true masterpiece. Marko is more or less done with his rhythm guitar work and Magnus has started with the bass stuff. He recorded a bass track for one song today before we all got together and filmed a small "jingle" for our Japanese friends. Only 3 months until we hit Japan for the very first time. We are extremely excited about this. Hopefully we´ll see YOU there. Cheers!

Last but not least. We are very proud to announce our new line-up. Yes, we have a new member in the band. His name is Robin Sörqvist and he fits the band more than perfectly. You have probably heard him in the band IMPIOUS before. He´s got the lead guitar skills and the will to kick ass, just as the rest of us.
Please embrace Robin with a big and loud HELL YEAHHHHH!!!!

See you around!
/Marko, Janne, Johan, Magnus, Robin

pour la 100e fois le problème c'est pas tant que cette version ait une autre personnalité qu'on puisse tout à fait aimer, mais l'enregistrement qui est pourrave (on entend pas la basse). on est plus proche du mauvais death que du putain de thrash n roll teinté de death du véritable The Crown.

In other news, THE CROWN has parted ways with drummer Janne Saarenpää.

Says the band: "Janne Saarenpää decided to focus on other things for a time not specified. We truly respect his wishes and support him on his new adventures. Although there will always be an open spot for him in this band, so if he decides to come back he is more than welcome. So we wish him good luck for the future and would like to thank him for everything in the past. Our live situation will therefore look a bit different, but we have that covered already. More info on that when time comes."

THE CROWN last year announced the addition of guitarist Robin Sörqvist (IMPIOUS) to the group's ranks.
