Bio
Kröwnn
was formed in the summer of 2012, in Venice - Italy, with the
intention of playing an old school oriented doom metal, stylistically
close to the member's favourite bands of the genre. Lyrics are based
on the fantasy worlds created by great authors such as Howard,
Moorcock, Tolkien and Martin. In February 2013 they release their
first demo, recorded in 6 hours and printed with the name of Hyborian
Age, followed by the video of the song "Gods of Magnitogorsk".
Actually
Kröwnn are at the third print of their album , by the canadian label
PRC music, and workin' on the new material for the upcoming new
stuff.
Between
the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of
Aryas, there was an age undreamed of. And unto this, Conan, destined
to wear the jeweled Kröwnn of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow. It is
I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga. Let us tell
you of the days of high adventure!
Band Members
Michele el Lello
Carnielli - Vocals, Guitars
Silvia Selvaggia

Review:
After
criminally ignoring Kröwnn's debut album – Hyborian Age – back
in 2013, I wasn't going to make the same mistake twice with their 2nd
album – MAGMAFRÖST. A sprawling 48 minute monster of intense doom
metal mixed with classic fantasy based novels. Don't let that send
you running to the hills as Kröwnn play classic doom metal akin to
Sabbath, Saint Vitus, Pentagram. You know the classic bands of the
magical and legendary doom metal era. Though Kröwnn wisely add
touches of modern based Stoner Metal riffs for a great bone-crunching
sound.
The
album has tons of weird and wonderful noises amongst the Doom Metal
vibes they throw your way. Lead Vocalist – Michele – feels he is
channelling some long lost Wizard as he plants a spell on the
audience leave ing them in a hypnotic trance courtesy of great
vocals and spell-binding lyrics
Tracks
such as Wolfhunt, Skesis Dance and To Minus Morgul show what Kröwnn
are all about. Up-tempo classical Doom based riffs packed with a lot
of groove. Who cares if you don't like fantasy based novels. If
you're a fan of great music then this is the album for you. Kröwnn
have created a monster here as it's a thrilling adventure told
through the mighty power of the riff. Credit must go to Silvia and
Elena on Bass Guitar and Drums respectively as they provide a
formidable back-line for Michele to build his vocals and epic guitar
riffs on.
MAGMAFRÖST
packs a lot of fuzz and noisy feedback that makes it a very rich and
loud audio experience at times. It gives this album a hard-rocking
edge amongst it's classic retro-doom metal competitors. This is one
highly addictive release indeed. If your not moved by this magical
album then may CROM crush your mortal soul into eternal darkness!!!
