Genre-bending modern post-metalcore quartet, Crown the Empire, have announced their fifth studio album, Dogma, out on April 28th via Rise Records.
Dogma, produced and mixed by Zach Jones (Fever 333, Poor Stacy, Scene Queen, and Nova Twins), is a diverse album fuelled by angst, existential identity, isolation, and determination. Over the last three years, the band has taken time to reflect on personal and collective priorities. This introspection is reflected lyrically in Dogma. Vocalist Andy Leo offers a candid perspective on paranormal encounters, manic dreams, and the depths of quarantine, commenting:
The lyrics are less wordy and lofty. It’s more honest and direct.
Longtime bassist and screamer Hayden Tree on the band’s new era adds:
We brought back the classic elements of Crown without taking anything away from what we’ve done more recently. The high-energy, fast-paced, hard-hitting riffs, with the band’s more melodic side, were mashed together into an updated sound.

Dogma will include previously released singles “Immortalise”, “In Another Life”, featuring Spiritbox’s Courtney Laplante, and “Dancing with the Dead,” which combined have garnered 11.5 million+ streams to date. The album will also include a collaboration with Palaye Royale’s Remington Leith.
Alongside the announcement, the band offers another glimpse at their forthcoming record with the title track, “Dogma.”
