'Frontiers Music' is still the origin of this super group 'Crowne' made up of artists from the melodic hard rock scene who are from, guess, well from Sweden to not change. We find the singer 'Alexander Strandell' of 'Art Nation', the bassist of 'Europe', 'John Levén', the ex-drummer of 'The Poodles', and finally, guitarist and keyboardist 'Jona Tee' from de 'H.E.A.T'. No need to make you wait, this first album 'Kings in the North' is a killer with compositions that should loop in a lot of melodic hard-rock aficionados and this from the start with the first three tracks which bring everything together the best we can find in this style and which have also been chosen as singles with each their video: 'Kings in the North' (see video above), 'Perceval' and 'Sharoline'. Everything is there to have a good time and the continuation continues in this communicative energy with melodies which all become addictive. I could quote all the titles because each one could have been the subject of a single. In short, Sweden, at the origin of an impressive number of projects in this style, adds a new one which directly competes with the 'Palace', 'Perfect Plan', 'H.E.A.T', 'W.E.T.', 'Eclipse' or 'Autumn's Child' to name a few and, for melodic hard rock fans, this 'Kings in the North' is to be consumed without moderation... | |
