Dead Crown

Dead Crown are a punishing metal four-piece based out of Portland, Oregon that feature a seasoned crew of regional extreme metal heavyweights. Founded in 2017 by ex-Rise of Tides vocalist Kendall Johns, the group incorporates a wide array of heavy music styles into their melodic sonic onslaught, including elements of death metal, doom, and metalcore. In addition to Johns, the quartet features bassist Brent Sheffield, guitarist Eric Gemme, and drummer Bryton Wilson, the latter two of whom also play in Paragon. In 2017 the band issued a pair of hard-hitting singles and videos ("Dethrone" and "Black Sheep"), followed in 2018 by their debut EP, Come Hell. ~ James Christopher Monger
