September 24, 2014, 10 years ago
Fast-rising progressive death metal sensations Black Crown Initiate are set to release their debut LP, The Wreckage Of Stars, across UK/EU territories on October 27th via eOne Music / Good Fight Music.
As a teaser of what's to come, the band is now streaming a new song from the album with “Withering Waves”:
Every once in a while there comes along an album either so brutal it blasts your face off, or so delicious it delights and tickles the ears. Even rarer is an album that manages to seamlessly combine the two, melding gorgeous musicianship with awe-inspiring power. Most bands might achieve this once or twice in their career; so for a band to achieve this on the debut is an impressive feat, and one which demands to be noticed.
The Wreckage Of Stars, the first LP US prog metal stars Black Crown Initiate is such a debut. Perhaps the strongest new album from the strongest new outfit you shall hear all year, The Wreckage Of Stars is the next step in the whirlwind musical journey of the Pennsylvanian band in their short 2-year history.
The Wreckage Of Stars is at times devastatingly heavy, combining thunderous percussion with nightmarishly fast and fierce guitar work and black-metal inspired vocals. Look further and a listener will hear moments of brilliance and beauty, from the stunning bass solo on the album’s opener “Great Mistake” to the Opeth-reminiscent opening and clean vocals of “Malignant”.
