Black Crown Initiate

BLACK CROWN INITIATE, a progressive death metal band from Pennsylvania, USA, further refines their godly and dynamic music in their latest album "Violent Portraits of Doomed Escape". Formed in Reading, Pennsylvania in 2012, BLACK CROWN INITIATE has released two albums that go far beyond the underground with their exceptionally ambitious, chaotic, and epic sound. Following "The Wreckage of Stars" (2014) and "Selves We Cannot Forgive" (2016), which left progressive death metal freaks roaring, the band has now released their third album in four years, "Violent Portraits of Doomed Escape," on the prestigious The album will be released on the prestigious Century Media label. This will be the first release for rhythm guitarist Ethan McKenna, who joined the band in 2018; Ethan was involved with the band around the time of their self-released EP, Crippled Bull, back in 2013. Unfortunately, personal reasons prevented him from joining the band at the time, but he is now an official member. Of all the guitar students I've taught, Ethan is the only one I told I had nothing to teach," says Andy, who has already taken on the role of supporting the band's sound with his outstanding technique. The harmonies of the twin guitars are also a highlight. The contrast between James' growls and Andy's clean vocals is also a major attraction on this album. On "Son of War," "Trauma Bonds," and "Sun of War," Andy's clear and sublime voice accentuates the drama of the songs.Recording this album were Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland, who were nominated for Grammy Awards for their work on FROM ASHES TO NEW, GALACTIC EMPIRE, and also AUGUST BURNS RED. The sound make-up of the album is solid. It's a cliché, but we have the best lineup we've ever had. BLACK CROWN INITIATE is a new beginning" (Andy Thomas).
