Metalcore in the new millennium has an inextricable history with melodic death metal; however, as the decades have passed, new waves of metalcore have arguably de-emphasized this lineage in favor of more technical, extreme or gnarly styles. Still, every once in a while, it’s nice to hear a fresh metalcore album from musicians that still remember the titans of the Gothenburg scene, and with Crown, For I Am King highlight the benefits of such tradition.
