THE CROWN's Cobra Speed Venom Album Enters International Charts

Swedish death metal legends The Crown have released their new album, Cobra Speed Venom, via Metal Blade Records. A full album stream can be found below. Order the album here. BraveWords' review of the album can be found here.

The album has entered the international charts, as follows:

#34 Official German Album Charts (Germany) 
#99 Official Swiss Album Charts (Switzerland) 
#26 Current Hard Music Albums (USA) 
#41 Top New Artist Albums (USA) 
#97 Record Label Independent Current Albums (USA) 
#83 Top Hard Music Charts (Canada) 

The Crown comments: "Really?? 34th most selling album in Germany last week? Entering Top 100 in Switzerland? Our raw untamed punkish styled Death/Thrash Metal?? I guess there's hope for humanity after all! Or maybe this proves the opposite ;-) A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!" 

With their motivation at an all-time high, The Crown spent most of 2017 intensely rehearsing 13 new songs. They eventually entered the classic Studio Fredman with Fredrik Nordstrom to record what would become their new album, Cobra Speed Venom. The sound is massive, brutal and a real punch in the face. Extreme speed and aggression mixed with classic heavy metal and rock n' roll, which really shows that The Crown has no boundaries. The apocalyptic theme of the lyrics and music also fits perfectly with the outstanding artwork of Christian Sloan Hall.
