Crowne – Wonderland CD

Crowne – Wonderland

Swedish-based supergroup CROWNE is back with their highly anticipated third studio album, “Wonderland”. Continuing their musical evolution, the band builds on their signature blend of melodic rock with heavier, power metal-infused soundscapes. Wonderland delivers an unforgettable listening experience filled with epic atmospheres, anthemic choruses, and technical solos that showcase the band's impressive musicianship.

At the helm is Alex Strandell, known for his powerful and soaring vocals in bands like Art Nation, Lionville, and Nitrate, who brings a level of intensity and passion to the album. Alongside him is Love Magnusson of Dynazty on guitars, whose electrifying solos and riffs contribute to the album’s dynamic energy. The keyboard wizardry of Jona Tee from H.E.A.T adds layers of atmosphere, while John Leven, the iconic bassist of Europe, provides a solid foundation to the band's heavy grooves. Completing the lineup is Christian Lundqvist, formerly of The Poodles, on drums, whose driving rhythms push each song forward with power and precision.

One of the standout tracks of Wonderland is "Warlords of the North", a powerful anthem that features a songwriting contribution from none other than Biff Byford, the legendary frontman of Saxon. This collaboration adds a level of grandeur to the track, making it one of the album's most striking moments.

With their third studio album, CROWNE continues to raise the bar for melodic heavy rock and power metal. The album's combination of epic hooks, technical brilliance, and high-energy performances makes Wonderland an essential release for fans of the genre.
