The dark tale of Jester's Crown
Jester's
Crown was created in 2006 out of the ashes of the Danish metal act Delirium
Tremens. The intentions was to create heavy metal music, that in one way paid
homage to the old heavy metal legends but still had a unique Jester's Crown
touch. It had to be heavy, melodic and catchy just like heavy metal was meant to
be. Lyrically the songs deals with dark themes like witch hunts, the occult,
ghost stories and everything dark and sinister.
In the fall of 2006 the band went into the studio to record two songs for
a promo cd. The cd was released in 2007 simply as "Promo 2007" and
consisted of 4 songs. The cd contained the two new recordings and an earlier
recording of two other songs. It was released with a bonus dvd featuring a
private live recording from summer 2006. Both recordings had different line up
due to the difficulties of finding dedicated musicians. The purpose of the promo
cd was mainly to promote Jester’s Crown to various gig organizers, zines and
labels.
During 2007 the line up was completed the band now consisted of Dennis
Jacobsen/Vocal, Stephan Larsen/Guitars, Michael Kafton/Guitars, Andrias
Andreasen/Bass and Sonny Jörgensen/Drums.
In early 2008 the band recorded a second promo which was released later in
2008 as "Promo 2008". The promo features three new songs that
represent the future path of Jester's Crown.
Since the beginning Jester's Crown has played several gigs in
Denmark
, which almost every time has been well received from the audience. On stage it
is important that the band’s performance fits the music. Therefore skulls,
smoke, studs and leather is an important part of the Jester's Crown stage show.
In late 2008 Dennis and Michael decided to leave the band. Jester’s
Crown decided to keep the work as a three piece and Stephan took over the vocals.
This three piece line up presents Jester’s Crown in the rawest, dirtiest and
meanest form. This is uncompromising doomy heavy metal that has the haunted Jack
Daniels, leather and skulls feeling.
Jester’s
Crown is now looking for labels interested in releasing a debut full length lp.
More gigs in
Denmark
has been planned for 2009.
