Additional notes
Their original moniker (until 1998) was Crown of Thorns for the band's first two albums, which had to be changed due to the US band Crown of Thorns threatening legal action.
Tomas Lindberg performed guest vocals on one song on Deathrace King before replacing Johan Lindstrand for Crowned in Terror. Lindstrand rejoined The Crown after this, and the album was remixed and partially re-recorded as Crowned Unholy.
The band split-up in 2004. Lindstrand went on to form One Man Army and the Undead Quartet. Marko went on to form a solo band called Angel Blake, named after the Danzig song.
In 2008, the entire line-up minus Lindstrand formed a new band alongside Andreas Bergh called Dobermann. Jonas Stålhammar later replaced Bergh, and in December 2009, they changed the name of the project to The Crown.
After one album with Stålhammar, Lindstrand rejoined The Crown again in 2011.
On December 1, 2025 the band have announced plans to disband following a number of shows in 2026, culminating in a final gig in Gothenburg on December 19, 2026.
