Crown Magnetar releases new EP, ‘Punishment’

Crown Magnetar releases new EP, ‘Punishment’, plus visualizer for “Nailed The Fuck Down”; kicks of North American tour with Traitors

Today (March 7th), Colorado’s brutal deathcore denizens Crown Magnetar have unleashed their new EP, Punishment, via Unique Leader Records. Once again helmed by producer-turned-bassist Mike Sahm, this record continues the band’s release-a-year streak after 2024’s re-mixed and re-mastered The Prophet of Disgust EP. For a preview of Punishment, the visualizer for “Nailed The Fuck Down” can be viewed now here: https://youtu.be/c3bStilNQhc

Vocalist Dan Tucker comments: “We are beyond excited to finally share our new EP, ‘Punishment’, in its entirety. With this release comes a glimpse of what the future holds for us—as well as a nod to our past as we amped back the more technical side that took a backseat on previous LP ‘Everything Bleeds’. We wanted to level up with these tracks—the ultimate Crown Magnetar: short and sweet but savage. Come see us play this beast of an EP on our spring tour with Traitors and Yosemite In Black and/or jam it front-to-back!”

Punishment can be streamed and purchased now in various formats via: https://orcd.co/PUNISHMENT

Since their debut, Crown Magnetar have amassed a fan base around the world, delivering chugging deathcore brutality across a handful of releases, while sharing stages with the likes of Lorna Shore, Dying Fetus, Suicide Silence, Born of Osiris, Carnifex, Spite, Enterprise Earth and more. With Punishment, they are once again out for blood—and buckets of it. Fans will surely devour this EP with its over-the-top titles of “Barbed Wire Noose,” “Nailed the Fuck Down”, “Bringer Of Dead Light” and “Decapitation Ritual”, which are as much a brutal blast as the blazing beats and double bass that fill them.
