User Album Review
With new record Sudden Sky being the bands first album since the departure of former heavy vocalist Dave Escamilla – the time couldn’t be more apt for Crown the Empire to hit the reset button and reinvent themselves. Unfortunately Sudden Sky is often little more than Retrograde 2.0. While this may not read as a disappointment to pre-existing fans of the quartet, you can’t help but feel like the opportunity for Crown the Empire to mould themselves into a product that fits better into the direction metal is heading has been missed.
There are moments where the band capture a spark however, the closing breakdown of the title track has a genuine edge to it, and the soaring chorus of MZRY will sound gargantuan in academy sized venues. But what Sudden Sky suffers from is a lack of literally anything new from a band that already weren’t unique in their setting. With all that said, if you’re going into this record in the hope that Crown the Empire stuck to their blueprint throughout – you can expect satisfaction. But if you’re heading into Sudden Sky hoping for something more than early 2010’s light metalcore with the year changed around to 2019 – you’ll be left wanting.
