   About Crash The System

"Frontiers Records is happy to announce the release of CRASH THE SYSTEM’s debut album entitled “The Crowning” on July 3rd, 2009 in Europe, August 11th in the USA with a Japanese release to follow on King Records.

The CRASH THE SYSTEM - project came about as a collaboration between song-writer Sören Kronqvist (former Finnish 400 meter hurdle Champion (1989) and songwriter for Michael Bormann, House of Lords and CC Rock between others) and drummer/producer Daniel Flores (Mind's Eye, The Murder of My Sweet) in the fall of 2008. The duo has known each other for a couple of years and they respect each other's work. Sören and Daniel decided to make a project together with songs they enjoyed writing.

“The original plan was to make one song with Daniel and try to get that song out to a band or an artist. And, if it would turn out good we would do more together” explains Sören. “The first song we did was All Because Of You and we both were really happy with how that song turned out. A few record companies also liked the song. We then recorded three more songs and got good response from them as well and that’s when Frontiers came into the picture”.

Thanks to Daniel's extensive music background, good reputation, and connections in the music business he managed to bring in some of the top names in Sweden into the project. Guest vocalists on the project are: Göran Edman (Ex-Yngwie Malmsteen, John Norum, Brazen Abbot, etc), Mats Levén (Ex-Yngwie Malmsteen, Treat, Infinite Mass, etc), Thomas Vikström (Ex-Talk Of The Town, Candlemass, etc) and Björn Jansson (Ex-Ride The Sky, Tears Of Anger, etc). Appearing on the album are also Johan Niemann (Mind's Eye, The Murder of My Sweet etc), Daniel Palmqvist (The Murder of My Sweet), and Manuel Lewys (Machinery, Elwood, etc) on guitars with additional keyboards by Andreas Lindahl and additional backing vocals by Angelica Rylin (The Murder of My Sweet).

“The sound of Crash The System is a mix of 80's hard rock/metal, modern metal, some symphonic influences and a few hi-tech elements” continues Sören. “I come from a softer side of metal and Daniel comes from the prog side of rock and metal. Crash The System is where we both meet. The "crash of styles" and the added touch of the four fantastic singers Göran Edman, Mats Levén, Thomas Vikström and Björn Jansson as well as the additional musicians gives the sound an interesting character. We wanted to keep it fairly simple with catchy melodies. Just put in the cd in the cd player and rock, not having to listen to the record 20 times to understand it”.

Fans of 80's Melodic Hard Rock with influences of modern symphonic metal should not be disappointed with the catchy choruses and great melodies sung by some of the top hard rock singers around. “Hopefully people will like the songs and look forward to the next album and more material from us. We feel that all songs are about equally strong, none of the songs are fillers” concludes Sören.

(Biography by Frontiers Records)


The album is produced, mixed and mastered by Daniel Flores (Catapult Music Group). Executive producer: Sören Kronqvist.

All songs published by Catapult Music Group/Good Songs 2009.

Some comments about the album "The Crowning" (Frontiers Records 2009):

'The Crowning' comes across as a cool mix of everything that's been great about Scandinavian rock and metal for the last 30 years...the quality never dips for a second - testament to the belief and commitment of all involved. Immense!"

D. Cockett - Destiny Records

---------------------------------------------------------

"This is definitely an album that will be on my top 10 list of 2009 for sure because this is so damn good and I can’t stop playing air-keys when I listen to this freaking brilliant album. This is pure AOR heaven from the first song to the last."

Juha Harjula - Melodic.net

---------------------------------------------------------

"...ett måste för varje sann fantast av melodiös rock och AOR och speciellt för er som älskar den typiskt svenska touch som den här plattan andas..."
"...a must for every true fan of melodic rock and AOR and especially for those of you who love the typical Swedish touch this album breaths..."

(Extendedmix.com)

---------------------------------------------------------

"With thirteen tracks on one album you’d expect maybe one that doesn’t hit the mark, but on this album every one is just superb. This album's strength is in the quality of song and music, so hats off to Flores and Kronqvist for a job done superbly. ...one of the best Melodic/AOR/Hard Rock albums I’ve heard this year."

(Themayfairmallzine.com)

---------------------------------------------------------

"...filled to the maximum with the best of what we all love and with a familiar trademark called "Scandinavian Melodic Rock. This is top quality and the production doesn't leave you with much air left to breath."

Johnny Forslund (Melodic Editor Promoter Sweden)

--------------------------------------------------------

"The sound quality on The Crowning is first class, as are the performances and compositions. There are plenty of huge choruses and catchy tracks... Check out... The production. Such a clear crisp sound you could eat it with sliced ham."

(Rock Realms)

--------------------------------------------------------

"A marvellous album for those who really love melodic rock"

Φώτης Μελέτης (Rockway.gr)

--------------------------------------------------------

"If you have good songs which have an excellent production, and they are sung by Göran Edman, Mats Levèn, Thomas Vikström and Björn Jansson, then you know ‘ you didn’t make thrash’."

Maarten van Marmeren (Aardschok Metal Magazine)

--------------------------------------------------------

"One of the best hard melodic rock albums of the year..."

(Rockinspain.es)

--------------------------------------------------------

"My Album Of The Month"

Stephan Biard (Rock Hard Magazine - France) July/August issue 2009

--------------------------------------------------------

" "The Crowning" is a good album which everyone who's a Melodic Rock Fan should like."

(Sleaze-Metal.com)

--------------------------------------------------------

"With outstanding singer like the ones involved in "The Crowning" you can't go wrong".

(Ice Vajal.com)

--------------------------------------------------------

"Gelungenes Projekt, dass mit den unterschiedlichen Sängern sicher mehr Abwechslung bringt, als wenn es nur ein einziger Sänger gewesen wäre".
"Successful project that with the different singers reliably brings more variation than if it would have been only one singer".

(Musikmagazin.at)
