Up-and-coming Canadian metal band, DEMISE OF THE CROWN, has released the first single, “My Mind Is Free,” the first single from the upcoming Life in the City album, scheduled for release on April 24, 2020 via BraveWords.
DEMISE OF THE CROWN is: Vocalist Darren Beadman; Lead Guitarist Manuel Iradian; Guitarist Vince Doiron: Bassist Simon Doiron; and Drummer Kevin Alexander.
“I wanted to show something special in this video,” says Simon Doiron. “There’s this magical moment that happens when playing the first chord onstage or when the director calls for action during the shoot. It’s like the band is being summoned to play by some unknown force of nature, a kind of ritual that brings us together to generate music.”
From their 2015 debut EP to numerous area shows, the Montreal-based band has garnered a reputation for re-defining modern metal with a sound that is a melting pot of styles, including the occasional influences of death metal, components of hard rock, groovy riffs and catchy choruses alongside explosive guitar solos reminiscent of Eddie Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen and Dimebag Darrell. All this is topped off by singer Darren Beadman’s striking vocal techniques and unique tone, which have been likened to Warrel Dane, Sebastian Bach and Rob Halford. “My Mind Is Free,” with its broad-ranging sound, is a perfect introduction to DEMISE OF THE CROWN’s music.
“’My Mind Is Free’ is a dark and powerful song with an uplifting message of being able to overcome your demons in life before it’s too late,” says Iradian. “I’m extremely happy with Darren’s unique and colorful vocal performance here. It gives the song more character and, stylistically, this track has a lot to offer from middle eastern influences, hardcore breakdowns, big hooks, shredding face-melter leads and slow ballad parts.”
“My Mind Is Free” is available for download here.
