Crown Initiate is an American progressive death metal group from Reading, Pennsylvania currently signed to Century Media. The band formed in 2012 and self-released their first EP Song of The Crippled Bull, which was met with positive reviews. They began touring relentlessly in early 2014 with fellow extreme metal bands such as Goatwhore, Behemoth, and 1349, and lead to them being signed by eOne Music in June 2014. With eOne, they have released both The Wreckage of Stars and their most recent effort Selves We Cannot Forgive, which was released on July 22, 2016.When asked about the origins of the name "Black Crown Initiate" in a 2016 Reddit, AMA, the band stated:there is a Tibetan spiritual leader that wears a black crown to signify help for humanity. We are all pervert pigs so we help by showing people that, first about ourselves. Song of The Crippled Bull is the debut EP from American based progressive death metal band Black Crown Initiate. It was released independently on July 17, 2013 and quickly became a featured EP on various underground publications. The album was recorded by Carson Slovak at Atrium Audio in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Slovak is also credited for having designed the artwork.In an interview with Terrorizer, guitarist Andy Thomas goes in depth about the concept of the EP and some of the themes that surround the music:"Basically, there are a couple of themes running through the album. Microcosmic and macrocosmic, in their nature. The overarching apparent theme is based on Hindu texts. A four stage cycle in the universe that goes from the creation to destruction, and then recreation. And the last phase is called Caliuga. It's a phase of complete depravity, everything is almost ruined. If I look around that's what I see. It's symbolized by iron, an extension of the Iron Age, and also by a one- legged bull. The first phase is known as the Golden Age, which you read about in all this different cultures, but that's symbolized by a bull with all his legs. ░ ░ ▒░ ░▒ ▓▒ https://play.google.com/store/music/album?id=Bymif4tri7em6tbuinpb7vsprpi ▒▓ █▓▄ ▄▓█ ▀█▄█ █▄█▀ ▄ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▄ ██▓▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▓██ █▄▀ ▀▄█ █ · ·< GREETINGS >· · █ ▄% %▄ █▀ ▀█ ▄% %▄ █▀ Shout out to all of those who keep the dream of the scene alive. ▀█ ▄% %▄ █▀ Special thanks to those who have paved the way and parted. ▀█ ▄% %▄ █▀ We miss you! ▀█ ▄% %▄ █▀ ▀█ ▄% %▄ █▀ ▀█ ▄% %▄ █▀ ▄ ▀█ ▄% █ %▄ █▀ ▀▀▀█▀▀▀ ▀█ █% ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄%█ █▀▄▀▄ ▄▄▀▀▀▀ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▀▀▀▀▄▄ ▄▀▄▀█ ██▓▄ █▄▄▄▀▀▀▄▄▀ ▀ ▄▄█▄█▄█▄▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▄ ▀▀▀▄▄▄▄█▄█▄█▄▄▄ ▀ ▀▄▄▀▀▀▄▄▄█ ▄▓██ ▀ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▀▀▀▀▀▓▀ ▀▀█▀█▀█▀▀▀▀▄▄▄ ▀▀█▀▀ ▄▄▄▀▀▀▀█▀█▀█ ▀▀▓▀▀▀▀▀▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▀ ▄█▀█▄▄▄ ▀▀█▄█▀▀ █▄▄▄▄ ▀▀█ █ █▀▀ ▄▄▄▄██ ▀▀█▄█▀▀ ▄▄▄█▀█▄ █▓▀ ▀▀▀▄██▄ ▀ ▄▄██▀▀ ▀▀▀▀ █ ▀▀▀▀ ▀▀██▄▄ ▀ ▄██▄▀▀▀ ▀▓█ ▓▒ ▀▀██▄▄▄█▀▀▀ ░ ░ ▀█▀ ░ ░ ▀▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀ ▒▓ ▒░ ▀▀ ▄▄ + ▒ ▒ ▄ ▒ ▒ + ▄▄ ▀▀ ░▒ ░ ▀▀▓██▀▀▀▀▄▄▄▓▀▓ o ▓▀▓▄▄▄▀▀▀▀██▓▀▀ ░ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ████████▄▄▄ ▀▀▀▀▄▄▄▀▀▀▀▄▄▄▄▄▀▀▀▀▄▄▄▄▀▀▀▀ ▄▄▄████████ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▀▀▓██████ █████████████████▄░ ▀▀▀▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▀▀▀ ░▄▄█████████████████ ██████▓▀▀▄ ▄██████▓▓░ ░▒▄▄▄▄█▄ ▄█▄▄▄▄▒░ ░▓▓██████▄ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀
