The Persistence

by Kingcrow

supported by

VenusAdonis Striking a delicate balance between captivating and evocative, Kingcrow excel at creating excellent music that invites repeated listens. Favorite track: Father.

Kronos The Persistence continues Kingcrow's winning streak, fueled by earworm melodies, smart songwriting, and wonderful performances all around. Favorite track: Closer.

Alrihkh Kingcrow delivers a consistently smooth and powerful sound throughout this album. Vocal delivery is strong and expressive; instrumentation excels in creating just the right ambience, instruments wonderfully complementing and accenting each other. Band chemistry is great. Songwriting and production are also top tier. These songs are highly visual because the music conveys itself so powerfully. Very punchy without an over~emphasis on being djenty. Comparable to Queensryche. 9+/10. Favorite track: Closer.

about

Describing Kingcrow today is quite a difficult task, but one could state that the influence of different kinds of music, from progressive rock, ambient music, alternative rock and metal are all present.

With each release Kingcrow has taken a step further away from their original metal roots and is regarded today as one of the most exciting bands that Italy has to offer.

“With the last record “Eidos” we finished what we call the “life” trilogy (Phlegethon , In Crescendo, Eidos) and when we started talking about the new chapter everyone agreed we needed somehow to step a bit outside of our comfort zone and refresh our sound. With that in mind I started to write a lot of music (ended up being 3 hours of music more or less) trying different things till I came up with a couple of songs that sounded interesting and fresh to us and showed the “x factor” of the new record. These early songs (“Everything Goes” and “Devil’s Got a Picture” were the first two written) sounded different from what we did in the past but still somehow sounding like us, with a kind of a dark ambient, more modern vibe mixed with a heavier rock attitude. Devilnax (graphic designer) was also determined to have a different cover style for the album, and after nights spent listening to the demos and discussing the lyrical content (for the first time all by Diego Marchesi) he came up with that very powerful image that fits beautifully with the main vibe of “The Persistence”.”

Never would I think that a band with a fixation on snails could make such an amazing album. It starts off strong with a very death metal-ly track but gets progressively more, well, progressive later on. I love the vocals especially, Matt Moss truly has a great voice, both when growling and singing regularly. Slugdge plays an amazing blend of progressive melodies and death metal with some very tasteful clean parts thrown in. Really makes me want to worship the interdimensional slugs. blurppp

The songs are masterfully composed and flow together beautifully, and the orchestration is exactly how I want metal orchestration to sound: full, playable by a real orchestra, and just as important to the music as the vocals, drums, guitar, and bass are. tonycordeshimself
