You know, you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t as a metal band. If you stick to a formula, people will say that you’re one dimensional or out of ideas. But if your new material doesn’t sound exactly like your classic stuff, so-called “fans” will bitch and moan about how you’ve “sold out.” It’s even tougher when you’re an underground band in a specific niche genre like death metal.

Swedish death metal veterans The Crown are currently finding themselves a bit in the latter category now with their new album Death Is Not Dead, which was released January 13, 2015 through Century Media Records.

Here with their massive breakthrough hit “Screaming in the Night” is the Swiss band Krokus. The song is from from their seventh album, Headhunter. Released in 1983, the video for this song was a heavy rotation staple in the early days of MTV.
