Pittsburgh power/thrash outfit Crown the Lost fuse melodic fist-pumping anthems with the aggression and riff density of classic thrash metal. Their dual-genre attack delivers both soaring vocal hooks and driving, precision-picked intensity.
West Virginia trio Crown Vic drag death metal's brutality through the swampy weight of sludge and the confrontational energy of hardcore. The Parkersburg band produces crushingly heavy material built on feedback-laden grooves and raw hostility.
Melodic death-groove metal band from Murcia, Spain, formed in 2014. They blend melodic guitar work with heavy grooves and death metal aggression.
Heavy and power metal band from Stockholm and Gothenburg, active since 2022. Crowne delivers polished, arena-ready traditional metal drawing from Sweden's rich metal heritage.
Thrash metal band from Moscow, one of the longest-running Russian thrash acts with roots stretching to 1993. Crownear has survived over three decades of upheaval to remain a fixture of the Moscow thrash scene.
Saratoga Springs act Crowned push death metal into progressive territory, threading complex time signatures and dynamic song structures through bone-crushing heaviness. Their New York roots show in a no-nonsense directness that grounds the ambition.
Los Angeles band Crowned by Fire draw on Southern-fried riff traditions and stoner metal's slow-burning haze to craft music that feels simultaneously sun-baked and menacing. Thick grooves and a dusty, unhurried swagger define their sound.
Progressive doom metal band from Maidstone, England, formed in 2015. They blend progressive complexity with crushing doom from the Garden of England.
Chicago act Crowned in Glory merge the icy atmosphere of black metal with the visceral punch of death metal into a relentlessly dark hybrid. The band operates in a space where blast beats and tremolo riffs collide with gutting low-end brutality.
