Get ready for a musical journey into the depths of brutal deathcore as CROWN MAGNETAR gears up to unleash their latest album, 'The Hollowing Of Godflesh'. This release promises to be a game-changer, pushing the boundaries of what we know and love about the genre.
The Evolution of CROWN MAGNETAR
With their third full-length album, CROWN MAGNETAR showcases their evolution as a band. They've taken their signature sound and intensified it, creating an album that is both brutally heavy and incredibly atmospheric. Vocalist Dan Tucker describes it as a highly focused and sharpened version of their previous work, promising an unrelenting listening experience.
A New Chapter with Rob Maramonte
The addition of guitarist Rob Maramonte has brought a fresh perspective to the band. With his experience in tech-death bands like THE ZENITH PASSAGE and FALLUJAH, Maramonte has infused CROWN MAGNETAR's sound with a technical edge. His influence can be heard in the insane riffing and deadly chugs, adding a new layer of complexity to their music.
The Impact of 'The Hollowing Of Godflesh'
This album is set to make waves in the deathcore scene. It has already proven its worth with the massive streaming success of 'Desecrate Infinite', surpassing even their previous hit 'Punishment'. The live performances of these tracks have won over fans of heavyweights like ARCHSPIRE and UNDEATH, solidifying CROWN MAGNETAR's place in the genre.
A Balanced Blend of Brutality and Groove
While 'The Hollowing Of Godflesh' amps up the death metal elements, it doesn't forget the breakdowns that define the genre. Tracks like 'Shut Up And Bleed' showcase the band's ability to blend brutal intensity with groovy rhythms, creating a unique and captivating sound.
The Production Powerhouse
Behind the scenes, producer-turned-bassist Michael Sahm has been a driving force in CROWN MAGNETAR's success. He has been involved in all their releases, including their first EP 'The Prophet Of Disgust' and their debut LP 'The Codex Of Flesh'. Sahm's production skills have played a crucial role in shaping the band's sound and helping them achieve their maximalist vision.
A Bright Future Ahead
With a busy tour schedule lined up, including a co-headlining spot with TO THE GRAVE and direct support for ARCHSPIRE in Europe, CROWN MAGNETAR is poised for even greater success. Their relentless work ethic and extreme approach to music and touring will undoubtedly propel them to new heights.
Final Thoughts
'The Hollowing Of Godflesh' is a testament to CROWN MAGNETAR's growth and their ability to innovate within the deathcore genre. It's an album that will satisfy both old and new fans, offering a perfect blend of brutality, atmosphere, and technical prowess. Personally, I can't wait to hear it and see how they continue to push the boundaries of extreme music.
