Swedish death metallers The Crown are streaming another single from their approaching twelfth studio album, “Crown Of Thorns“. There’s now a music video for the song “Gone To Hell” to be experienced below. Anton Hallenberg & Robin Schulz put that clip together.
Speaking of the song, guitarist Marko Tervonen commented:
“‘Gone To Hell‘ is a very special song in many ways. As you may have seen on our older albums, there are quite a few songs where the music is by ‘Olsfelt/Tervonen’ [referring to former bassist Magnus Olsfelt]. But that doesn’t actually mean that we wrote the song together.
It was more about Magnus ‘stealing’ some riffs from me from songs that never made it to the albums. So he nicked the best stuff and included them into his songs. But ‘Gone To Hell’ was the first time we wrote something together. Magnus showed me the basic riffs to the song, on bass. We recorded it to a metronome and then I sort of ‘took over.’ I added the melodies, arranged it, wrote the drums and vocals etc.
So, it was actually the only song we ever worked on together before he left the band. The song is more mid-tempo oriented; it almost has some post-punk elements to it. I personally love it and I’m super proud of it. I expect to read a lot of ‘what is this soft song shit’ from people, otherwise I will be very disappointed!”
As for “Crown Of Thorns“, Metal Blade will have it out on October 11th.
