Schwedens THE CROWN schwanken musikalisch bekanntermaßen zwischen rohen Death Metal Attacken und thrashigen Tracks, wobei der jetzt, als Video veröffentlichte Track `Gone to Hell´,  von der zwölften Scheibe “Crown of Thorns“ recht melodisch bzw. eingängig ausgefallen ist. Als Erscheinungstermin des Studioalbums ist der 11. Oktober geplant.

THE CROWNs Gitarrist Marko Tervonen erklärt:

„‚Gone To Hell‘ is a very special song in many ways. As you may have seen on our older albums, there are quite a few songs where the music is by ‚Olsfelt/Tervonen‘ [gemeint ist der ehemalige Bassist Magnus Olsfelt]. But that doesn’t actually mean that we wrote the song together. It was more about Magnus ’stealing‘ some riffs from me from songs that never made it to the albums. So he nicked the best stuff and included them into his songs. But ‚Gone To Hell‘ was the first time we wrote something together. Magnus showed me the basic riffs to the song, on bass. We recorded it to a metronome and then I sort of ‚took over.‘ I added the melodies, arranged it, wrote the drums and vocals etc. So, it was actually the only song we ever worked on together before he left the band. The song is more mid-tempo oriented; it almost has some post-punk elements to it. I personally love it and I’m super proud of it. I expect to read a lot of ‚what is this soft song shit‘ from people, otherwise I will be very disappointed!“

Lyrics:

Brave until the end

Helpless souls demising

Righteous never stand

Altered into dark – fell into the part

 

Drowning, the hopeless part of me

Rising, the flame that burns within

 

Fallen dreams are left for us to wonder

Hopeless dreams gone to hell too deep

 

Conscious minds fighting seeking wonder

Endless dreams gone to hell too dee

 

Too deep.

 

Roaring echoes thunder.

Falling  seek the order

Twisting all the wonders

Falling down – lost the crown – endless might- watch me tear it down

 

 

Roaring echoes thunder

Falling  seek the order

Twisting all the wonders

Falling down – lost the crown

 

Fallen dreams are left for us to wonder.

Hopeless dreams gone to hell too deep.

 

Conscious minds fighting seeking wonder

Endless dreams gone to hell too deep

 

Drowning, the hopeless part of me

Rising, the flame inside of me

 

Drowning, the hopeless part of me

Rising, the light inside of me

So dim
