Crowdburn – Ignition 2013
Leave it to Sweden (UmeÃ¥, Sweden to be exact) to deliver another helping of fresh and exciting material in the form of a LP! I am beginning to wonder if they just pass out instruments to newborns over there and then preach to them that their sole-goal in life will be to form either a rock and roll band or, in this case, a heavy metal one. It’s possible right? Really though it does make sense that so many cool bands come from Sweden since we’re talking about a place where youngsters (4th graders and up I believe?) are encouraged to learn to play an instrument. I wish it was like that here in the States. Anyway, here we have Crowdburn who were formed in late 2010.
