Album Review: Demise of the Crown – Demise of the Crown
It’s seems like the entire country of Canada is looking to make a massive presence on the world metal map as of late. It is producing bands that cover all of metal’s expansive subgenres, and not just in a gimmicky sort of way, many of them are actually very good. Demise of the Crown is the next one to gain some traction as the country tries it’s hand at progressive metal this time around.

Thrash has never been known for its experimentation. Having had a resurgence in recent years many a band have sprouted only to imitate the classics of the bygone era. By no means meaning these bands are redundant, with most releasing material that is more apparent than ever but there comes a time when looking back is not enough.
