June 5, 2020 – Progressive death metal masterminds BLACK CROWN INITIATE have released a new single, “Sun of War,” from their forthcoming album Violent Portraits of Doomed Escape. Check out the lyric video for the track here: https://CenturyMedia.lnk.to/BCI.

Guitarist and founding member Andy Thomas offers of the track, “’Sun of War’ is a song that sort of continues the theme of our Song of the Crippled Bull EP. It centers around life in the end of a repeating universal cycle, and basically mourns the disconnect from what humans truly are: power, truth, and timelessness. It seems appropriate to be released now.”

Violent Portraits of Doomed Escape comes out on Aug. 7 and will be available as a limited CD Digipak, black LP+CD, three limited edition colored vinyl variants and on all digital platforms, and can be pre-ordered here: https://CenturyMedia.lnk.to/BCI.

Formed in Reading, Penn. in 2012, BLACK CROWN INITIATE have created a stir that’s stretched far beyond the underground with a sound that is at once sweeping, chaotic and epic in scope and ambition.
