Crown the Empire – have released their new haunting single “raw”

The Los Angeles-based two-piece Crown the Empire released their new haunting single “raw” with Rise Records. Directed by B.K. Barone, the music video for the track finds Andy Leo and Brandon Hoover delivering a moody, atmospheric performance in the back of a freezer truck leaning into the raw, visceral tension the song demands. 

This new track marks another step forward into the band’s ever-evolving sound. Blending driving rock energy with a hypnotic groove, the track explores the intensity of connection, desire, and the moments that unfold between two people.

Crown The Empire shares:

“‘raw‘ is the first step into the final form of Crown The Empire, taking everything we’ve learned from the emo alt rock space, and reinventing ourselves yet again in what’s our most ambitious project to date. We loved making this song and we hope y’all enjoy it too.” 

Crown the Empire has spent over a decade cementing their place as one of the genre’s most enduring forces. Fronted by Andy Leo and guitarist Brandon Hoover, the band has amassed nearly 700 million combined streams across five studio albums.

The Resistance debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Rock, Hard Rock, and Independent Albums charts, and the band took home Best Breakthrough Band at the 2014 Alternative Press Music Awards. Their reach has extended well beyond the underground, earning them tours alongside Slipknot, Pierce the Veil, Underoath, The Used, and Asking Alexandria, among others.

Crown the Empire continues to push the boundaries of their sound while building one of the most passionate fanbases in heavy music. To stay up to date on all of their latest news please follow them at @CrownTheEmpire
