Wanikiya Record/Promotion is proud to officially welcome Charnel Crown to its international roster.
Rising from the heart of Dublin's underground metal scene, Charnel Crown have quickly established themselves as one of the most exciting new names in modern groove metal. Driven by crushing riffs, relentless grooves and uncompromising honesty, the band is now ready to take the next step on the international stage through their new partnership with Wanikiya Record/Promotion, which will handle the worldwide promotion of the band.

A pretty cool milestone for us.

Getting featured in a metal magazine was never a goal we consciously set for ourselves, but growing up we'd always pick up metal magazines to discover new bands, read interviews, and keep up with the scene.

So seeing Charnel Crown featured in The Metal Mag – Issue #73 is a surreal feeling, and one we're really grateful for.

Huge thanks to The Metal Mag for the feature, and thanks to everyone who's been supporting the band. We've got plenty more to share.
