Биография

Hailing from Saarbrücken, Germany, SURRENDER THE CROWN have always wanted to create something of relevance. Just like they are inspired by the music of their favorite artists - Alter Bridge, Disturbed or In Flames, just to name a few - they aim to inspire their own audience in the same way. According to the band’s philosophy, feeling empowered, encouraged and, yes, inspired is essentially what music should be about. That being said, it seems to make perfect sense that STC's songwriting combines the energy of heavy riffing with the beauty of haunting melodies and a positive outlook on life. Originally conceived as a studio project in 2011, SURRENDER THE CROWN evolved into a fully-fledged band two years later when their first album What We Think Defines Us saw the light of day. In 2016 their sophomore effort Life Decides showcased the band experimenting a bit more as well as developing their trademark sound. They completely came into their own with the critically acclaimed The Neverending Now in 2018, which was followed shortly after by the Ready For A War EP. The digital-only release features Bring The Rain, their most successful song to date. SURRENDER THE CROWN are Matthias Braun (Vocals), Patrick Meyer (Guitars), Mathias Sander (Guitars), Oliver Quinten (Bass) and Matthias Schmidt (Drums). The band is currently putting the finishing touches on their fourth full-length album IV - The Healing, which is is set to be released on the 29th of September 2023.
