Within certain circles The Crown are an institution. Under their former name, Crown of Thorns, the band carved a formidable reputation for themselves within the speed metal genre.
Now in their 31st year as a working band, and having changed their name to The Crown along the way, the band has just released one of the finest albums of their career and arguably one of the most impressive speed metal albums ever. Royal Destroyer bears all the hallmarks that helped the band forge its reputation in the first place.
Make no mistake about it you won t be hearing much of this album on your average daytime radio because full of hit singles it definitely isn t but that s not what The Crown are about.
