'The Burning' is the debut album by Swedish thrash act The Crown (previously known as Crown Of Thorns). The album infuses traditional thrash metal-based death metal with melodic and black metal elements. The Crown's style of melodic death metal takes a zesty spark of heaviness and adds it to a circulating breeze of melody, which makes 'The Burning' satisfying to all the senses. This criminally underrated band are a must have for fans of At The Gates, The Haunted, Deathchain and Defleshed.
