The Crown is a death / thrash metal band from Trollhättan, Sweden. Originally, they used the name Crown of Thorns but were forced to change their name due to another band already using that name. Their music and lyrics are inspired by death, antireligious themes (mostly targeting Christianity) and rebellion. They are known to fuse death metal with thrash influences. The Crown disbanded in 2004. After that, Lindstrand went on to form One Man Army and the Undead Quartet.[citation needed] Tervonen formed Angel Blake, named after a song by Danzig. He now focuses on his new project Lady Mourning together with his vocalist wife Elina Tervonen, keyboardist Andreas Tiberto and bassist Alexander Bringsoniou, both in Akribi. Sunesson is in a band called Engel. Olsfelt is also in a band called Stolen Policecar. The band was reformed in December 2009 with Jonas Stålhammar of God Macabre as the new vocalist.[1] On June 30, 2010 it was reported that The Crown signed a worldwide deal with Century Media Records and the band's new album, Doomsday King, was released in September 2010.[2]
