From the ashes of the Michigan black metal outfit, Project Apocalypse, comes the newest offering of Michigan metal mayhem known as Serpent Crown. After many member changes, and wanting to start fresh, Sonny Alcala (guitar, backing vocals), Mark Allen (guitar), and Chris Kruger (vocals) have teamed up with Tim Sever (Genocya, Wind of The Black Mountains, Production Grey) on drums and Jim Albrecht (Genocya, A Gruesome Find, Production Grey) on bass to round out this new band. Shortly after the birth of the band, Tim and Chris were forced to step down as due to very hectic schedules. Long time friend Adam Zserdin(Dark Empyre) joined as the band's new drummer. With the vocal spot empty, rather then look for a vocalist, the band thought it be better to have Sonny take over on vocals. In the summer of 2009, Serpent Crown decided to bring in Dane Brown(Dark Empyre, Coathanger Abortion) as 3rd guitarist/vocalist to bring a new dimension to the music. With this new line-up, Serpent Crown have added many years of experience from past bands, along with good friendship within the ranks, to make it an enjoyable project, as well as productive. The band ended 2009 by quickly recording a 4 song demo with Sean "Xaphan" Peters(Summon, Wastelander) to showcase their new line-up. The demo serves as a nod to their past while fimly planting their foot in the future. The band plans on spending most of the winter writing more new material for their debut full length and also plan on many more shows...get ready fuckers!!
