On September 25th, 2026, Colorado Deathcore band Crown Magnetar will release their third full-length album, The Hollowing Of Godflesh, via Unique Leader Records. This will also coincide with a co-headlining tour with To The Grave.
For the last preview of the record ahead of release date, the band have revealed the single “Dead Crown” alongside a video.
On the new single, vocalist Dan Tucker comments:
‘Dead Crown’ takes one of the darkest concepts on the record and turns it into one of the heaviest songs we’ve ever written. It’s centered around a crown being surgically driven into someone’s skull until it fuses with their flesh, slowly corrupting them from the inside. The riffs never let up, the drums are relentless, and the ending strips everything back into a primitive, caveman breakdown that is undoubtedly one of the heaviest moments on the record.
Regarding The Hollowing Of Godflesh, Tucker adds:
‘The Hollowing of Godflesh’ is the most complete representation of Crown Magnetar we’ve ever put together. We pushed every aspect of our songwriting further without losing the intensity and rawness that defines the band. We wanted to take what people expect from us and push it further by adding more atmosphere, bigger moments, and even more aggression without sacrificing anything. You’ll hear it in the insane riffing of new guitarist Rob Maramonte, who has spent time as a member of Fallujah and The Zenith Passage, as well as performed live with Thy Art Is Murder and All Shall Perish.
‘The Hollowing of Godflesh’ is a highly sharpened version of Crown Magnetar. It delivers unrelenting brutality and is sure to please old and new fans alike.
This album marks the recorded debut of guitarist Rob Maramonte for Crown Magnetar. His time in both The Zenith Passage and Fallujah is reflected in the Tech Death aspects of the album, while stints filling in for Thy Art Is Murder and All Shall Perish add weight and heaviness.
Maramonte shares:
I’ve spent time in a lot of great bands, but this is the first time I’ve felt a gelling of my vision with that of the band. Crown is based on relentless brutality and raw power, and it’s an honor they’ve allowed me to sharpen that into the most deadly version yet.
It will be hard to miss Crown Magnetar on the road, joined behind the kit by Matt Kilner (Nithing, Iniquitous Deeds, ex-Gorgasm, ex-Vitriol). An upcoming co-headliner with To The Grave (also releasing a new album) ends just before they serve as direct support to Archspire in Europe.
