The Crown

The Crown is a death/thrash metal band formed in Trollh?ttan, Sweden in 1990. Their original moniker (until 1998) was Crown Of Thorns for the band's first two albums, which had to be changed due to another band already using that name. Their music and lyrics are inspired by death, anti-religion themes (mostly targeting Christianity) and rebellion. They are known to fuse death metal with thrash influences.
