I don't think all these commenters understand... This is The Crown. You don't critique and ask for clean singing or different lyrics. You just bang your damn head!!!

[IncessantWake]

This is amazing. Can't wait for this album. LOOOVE Johan's voice!

[jasonowen]

The Crown have never released inferior music and there's no need to think that they'll start now. Killer Swedeathrash!!!!

[kekster]

this song is okay but deathrace king was life!

[SevereRepugnance]

Come on The Crown! Blast it up! With a title like this what's with the mid-tempo? You guys used to be fast as fuck!

[ShawnJonesHellion]

my favorite left me!!!

hopefully to enjoy life

[davecarr]

Oh  HELL YAH!! Brutality!!! Long time coming!! But well worth the wait!! Can't wait for the rest of the record!!

[mitsay]

I was hoping to see Michael Angelo Batio shredding the hell out of this song :(

[vetegrodd]

I don't know what all the fuzz is about! I'm a massive early crown fan, meaning they where my first real favorite metal band (I was sold) but I really liked them to (and including of course) Deathrace King album. The two following albums I bought on release date, but I felt that they somehow lost that kind of melodicness and epicness (in a sense) that I loved. Now this two new songs feel a bit like back in time, more melodic, but yet the heavyness and dryness of the newer songs, which is cool. Headhunter is actually awesome, this one as a random track taken from the new album I think is absolutely decent, I will listen to it many times, if it end up being the second best song of the album I would be dissapointed, of course, missing intensity and maybe more riff and melody! I've sort of been given high hopes on these songs though 

[jeremyporter]

I think they've been listening to too much melodeath and don't know how to write it. Don't get me wrong, I love Johan's vocals usually. Possessed 13 is one of my favorite albums of all time. I'm going to have to come back and take a better listen - not sure if it's the mix or the composition (forced lyrics I think, probably instrumentation all written first). I'm looking forward to a new album anyway, but I might skip this one (or to the solo) every time XD

[ReefZA]

Did they change vocalists? It sounds quite a bit different to their previous work

[agentdante]

It does not meet the liked the old Crown!What happened???:(

[jonathanrandise]

Lyrics are awful. Musically it's great.

[LawlietCTN]

as i'm a french guy i can forgive the accent .... but it's hard to listen to it ... and an other mistakes : why does the vocals don't match at all with the music ? it's like an AMV ... or someone singing on a random musical playlist .... and the 3rd mistakes ... : the lyrics ... i know that metal is full of cliché but this one is totally too much ....

But the screaming is good and the music too. if the band try to work harder on the lyrics and try to syncronise the vocals with the music, this could become really good.  oh and try some clear voices for the refrain, it will probably help to have a song more unified.

Anyway sorry for the grammar mistakes, my english is not perfect at all

[DarkEyesofSorrow]

Intensity they had seems lacking and I think its the over powering of vocals that seem forced

[baird]

really, i ALMOST clicked it off. Hey, what i got from these guys in the past was single songs picked off albums and now I honestly don't know which ones I did like. Sirgrindcore below is a little harsh. I venture that this band live would kick some ass, correct YT listeners?? cliche or not, some new ground here, but I rarely am impressed by a new band, hell any band. I like Helltrash, just found them. At The Gates is more for my ear than this, I loved Impious.

[ibanezkk]

Disappointing. I love the old crown stuff. Not impressed at all.

[Iconlast]

hmm kinda... not what I am used to from the Crown but hell... they need to warm up :) I guess XD

[Taiottavios]

actually pretty good but, you know...I can't see selling points...

[DrJuice]

is this a serious band or are they a metal parody? the lyrics are so cheesy it's laughable. also, the 1 guy in the band looks like Artie Lange from the Howard Stern Show. the actual music is boring, too. i can't believe a band can be signed to any label, let alone CM, playing this generic stuff.
