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
