French death/black metallers Svart Crown will release their new album, "Profane", on April 22 in Europe and in May in the U.S. via Listenable Records. The Cd was recorded, mixed, mastered by Francis Caste (Kickback, Arkhon Infaustus, Phazm) at St Marthe studio in Paris. The cover artwork was created by Stefan Thanneur (Ruins).

According to a press release, "the band has been willing to break the genre boundaries enhancing lethal grooves in a sadistic manner that won't leave any listener in a safe and comfy world.

Spawned in France by guitarist/vocalist J.B. Le Bail, Svart Crown was born in 2005 with the idea to push the boundaries of extreme music and create a new dimension of brutality and blackness. Following numerous tours in its native land, Svart Crown released its first album, "Ages Of Decay", in early 2008.
