Media type: CD

Born in 2005 by founding member J.B Le Bail ( guitar/vocals ), SVART CROWN released their full length debut  “Ages of Decay” in 2008 after an ep entitled "Bloody Crown".

The band gained a full line up Clement Flandrois ( guitar ), Ludovic Veyssiere ( bass ) and former DIABOLIC ( U.S. ) / DROWNING / GLORIOR BELLI drummer : Gaлl Barthelemy.

Their triumphant second album "Witnessing the Fall" came out in 2010 and truly drew roaring press from all over the world. U.S. biggest metal magazine DECIBEL gave it a 9/10 mark and wrote : "It's the accessibility that makes this one a keeper, no matter how ugly SVART CROWN 's music gets, there's always a clawed hand beckoning us on !" (Etan Rosenbloom) .

Although way bleaker and sinister than ever, SVART CROWN have been perfecting a slimy mixture of a very dark form of pure death metal with extremely addicting guitar driven grooves .

SVART CROWN became a touring machine in support of their second album, doing more than 150 shows in 26 countries and counting. Touring partners like SHINING, SEPTIC FLESH, MELECHESH remained in astonishment seeing this young and hungry band destroying stages every single night with such a great conviction.

Drummer Gaлl Bathelemy left the band in 2011 to be replaced with ex-OTARGOS member Nicolas “Ranko” Muller right before SVART CROWN embarked to the U.S. for their first North American tour.

"Profane" plunges the listener deeper into their punishing demonic grooves thanks to a massive and organic production. SVART CROWN here unveil their strongest and most intricate songwriting with a great emphasis on feel and atmosphere that will leave any fan of the genre sunk into genuine desolation. With a main theme about humanity sickness, SVART CROWN  hammer imaginative arrangements one after another. Transcendent and uncompromising,  "Profane" is a testimony of the world going down.
