For 'Crown of Thorns', the dynamic, ground-breaking follow-up to 2021's 'Royal Destroyer', The Crown made distinctly different creative choices to ensure that the LP's 10 songs would stand as a unique collection. "For me, 'Cobra Speed Venom' and 'Royal Destroyer' are like siblings," says guitarist Marko Tervonen. And while 'Royal Destroyer' was termed a "a ridiculously catchy album," The Crown wanted to "make sure that we would take a step forward, get a bit more out of the comfort zone on 'Crown of Thorns'."
