French power metal band, Öblivion (featuring former Nightmare members), has changed their name to Kingcrown. Öblivion is dead… Long live the Kingcrown!

Kingcrown says: "We believe that this new name is perfectly fitting to the epic and majestic theme of our lyrics and music! Kingcrown is standing strong and is ready to fight on the metal planet, face to face, eye to eye. The Adventure continues!"

Kingcrown is working on a new studio album again with Patrick Liotard (Nightmare, Now Or Never) and Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Primal Fear, Pretty Maids).

Kingcrown is:
