Swedish death metal unit The Crown has set a March 16th release date for the new album ‘Cobra Speed Venom‘ via Metal Blade Records. The new record was produced by the band in unison with Fredrik Nordstrom at Studio Fredman and is sure to be a savage affair from the legendary band.
The Crown comments:
“We are really looking forward to finally be able to show our fans how damn good this band can be when the circumstances are right. With that, I mean to be able to do an album the way we want to do it: creating as a band, rehearsing as a band, recording as a band. You will hear a band performing here, with fierce energy and hunger!“
