2019 release on cool grey marbled vinyl with insert and poster.Limited 200 numbered copies

Having survived their turbulent one-album stint with journeymanvocalist Tomas Lindberg (ex-At the Gates), Swede speedsters theCrown reunited with original howler Johan Lindstrand and got downto (sort of) serious business for their sixth album, Possessed 13.Instantly noticeable is the record´s production, courtesy of StudioFredman: a nice, thick, full-bodied lager designed to be sluggeddown in big gulps, resulting in maximum death/thrash drunkenness.That´s one improvement the group has made over past releases, thesecond being its increasingly smart songwriting ethic, maintainingrelatively hectic arrangements and lickety-split tempos withoutfalling face-first into a mudhole of empty exercises inmusicianship. "Are You Morbid?" is a not-too-subtle nod to CelticFrost in title only, forgoing the classic band´s trademark sludgeriffs for a speedy romp outdoing death & roll-era Entombed atits own game; also notable are the creeping death-trudge ofinstrumental "Dream Bloody Hell," the smart, midtempo hooks of "Bowto None," and "Morningstar Rising," which deftly trades betweenrattling blastbeats and double-time thrash polkas. Even better, theCrown seem to possess a sense of humor and self-awarenesstranslating to the cover art, which recalls the poster of an oldB-grade horror flick, and is further fueled by borderline-silly butfun tracks "Zombiefied!," old-school Metallica-style barnburner"Kill `Em All" (which goes so far as to blatantly rip off thelegendary double-bass break of Slayer´s "Angel of Death"), and"Face of Destruction — Deep Hit of Death," all of which playfullytoy with clichés, tongues slightly in cheek (see also: BabylonWhores, Children of Bodom). Possessed 13 is a solid effortsometimes dipping into the exceptional, and while the group seemsto constantly remind one of its (obvious) influences, it stilldoesn´t detract from this album´s entertainment value.
