‘Hell Is Here’ and ‘Deathrace King’ on vinyl as part of their Originals-series
When you talk about the 2nd wave of Swedish Death Metal that started in the mid-nineties there is no way to get around THE CROWN from Trollhättan.
THE CROWN released nine longplayers to date and it’s the albums ‘Hell Is Here‘ (1999) and ‘Deathrace King‘ (2000) that turned events for the band. Before THE CROWN was a relentless underground act with a solid fanbase and a few gigs here and there. With their new partners Metal Blade and the release of ‘Hell Is Here‘, THE CROWN became a worldwide touring band without losing a single bit of their driving force. THE CROWN remained raw and belligerent, shown best on ‘Deathrace King‘, an epic yet roaring manifest!
Due to growing demand, both albums are re-issued now for the first time since their initial release.
The vinyls are part of the Metal Blade Originals series that started in early 2016 with the re-issues of the SLAYER titles ‘Show No Mercy‘, ‘Hell Awaits‘, ‘Haunting The Chapel‘ and ‘Live Undead‘!
Both albums will be released with 400g heavy cardboard spine sleeves (inside out print), 60x60cm two-sided artwork posters and 250g inserts. ‘Hell Is Here‘ has been given a vinyl mastering from Patrick W. Engel.
