In 2021 they further up the ante with Royal Destroyer, a record that sets a new standard for the genre. "It is our album number ten, so now we are in the big boys club," says bassist Magnus Olsfelt. "I think it in some ways is our crowning achievement, and it encompasses our sound across all albums on one defining record. It's got it all - the early 90s death metal stuff, the haunting melodies, the thrash, the punk, the grind, the heavy metal and the more epic and doomy stuff." The title of the record can be interpreted in a number of ways, and Olsfelt hopes that this is what happens with their fans, though asserts that it could be said that "The Crown is a Royal Destroyer". While he believes lyrics should ultimately be interpreted by fans so that the "magic" is not lost, he reveals that "Ultra Faust" is about "the Faustian impulse that is pushing us to explore and conquer new worlds both in history and in the future, both spiritual and worldly. No matter the cost, it is both a blessing and a curse, but it is what we are." Alongside that, "Let The Hammering Begin!" is a tribute to Slayer's late guitarist Jeff Hanneman, and "Scandinavian Satan" is "more a song in the style of the first generation of black metal bands like Venom, Bathory, and Hellhammer, which was very barbaric rock n' roll. The lyrics are taken mostly from the Völuspa, the ancient Nordic myth about the end of the world - it's pretty powerful stuff." When it came time to track the record the band teamed up with legendary producer Fredrik Nordström at Gothenburg's Studio Fredman. Initially scheduled to be recorded in May, the Covid-19 pandemic pushed back their plans by five months but did nothing to quench the fire or blunt their professionalism when they got into the studio. "The sessions were really smooth. Everything went really fast and I think we had all stuff recorded in a week's time. I put the bass tracks down for the whole album in a couple of hours, more or less first take on everything. Easy work!" Continuing to look ahead rather than back at what they have achieved, Olsfelt sees a bright future for The Crown, and they are willing to put in the necessary effort to achieve their goals. "I hope that we can keep together and do a lot more great stuff. I think this line up we have now is pretty awesome, and my plan is to become a big death metal band by the time I turn fifty, six years from now. Even if we don't make it we still had a pretty good race, but I believe we have lots of stuff yet to accomplish and the best is yet to come." 01. Baptized in Violence (00:00) 02.
