Black Crown Initiate is an American progressive death metal band. Characterized by their difficult-to-classify but still highly accessible mixture of many different styles, they exploded from out of nowhere to become one of the fastest-rising stars in heavy music.Formed in Reading, Pennsylvania in 2013 by James Dorton (vocals), Andy Thomas (guitars, vocals), and Nick Shaw (bass), the band quickly recorded and released the Song of the Crippled Bull EP for digital distribution; it was also around this time that they welcomed in Rik Stelzpflug (guitars, vocals) and Jeff Willet (drums), though the latter did not work out and left shortly after joining. Thankfully, Jesse Beahler left Rings of Saturn to fill his spot later in the year, which was just around the time that they were getting ready to record their debut full-length. 2014 proved to be their breakthrough year, as a very lucrative spot on the Metal Alliance tour with Behemoth, 1349, Goatwhore, and Inquisition resulted in a great deal of attention that materialized into a record deal with E1 Entertainment; The Wreckage of Stars, their label debut, came out in September of that year. Tours with Fleshgod Apocalypse, The Faceless, their buddies in Rivers of Nihil, and Unearth followed, and as of the writing of this article, they are preparing to embark on a tour with Napalm Death, Voivod, Exhumed, and Iron Reagan. Not bad for a band that has been around for less than two years. As of 2016, they are preparing to release Selves We Cannot Forgive, their sophomore full-length. Additionally, Rik Stelzpflug left at some point in the year and was replaced by Wes Hauch on what started as a live session basis before the band opted to make him full-time. After their first European tour in 2016, however, they completely fell off the face of the earth, and a fest appearance in 2017 that they wound up having to cancel was their sole flicker of activity. Various members continued to do live session work with other bands (Dorton with Replacire, Thomas with Tombs, and Jesse with Thy Art Is Murder), and while it was generally known that they weren't dead, they were not up to much. The silence was finally broken in 2018, when snippets of a new album were posted, and several appearances in the Northeast marked their return to the stage after two years. In that time, Beahler and Hauch also left; Ethan McKenna took Hauch's spot, while Samuel Santiago was brought on as their new drummer after a few live fill-ins. During their comeback tour, a new deal with Century Media Records was announced. After dismissing Santiago in late 2019, the band returned to the studio in early 2020. Violent Portraits of Doomed Escape, their first full-length in four years, was later announced for an August release.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) | |

The Alleged Car: Their old van, "Captain Planet", so named because it didn't have a catalytic converter, thereby making it a rolling pollution generator. It was a '91 GMC that was originally a Catholic school bus that Stelzpflug bought from an Amish man for $1800, it once managed to die in the middle of Canada with no heat, and it devoured a serpentine belt shortly before they finally opted to sell it to a scrapyard, where it was apparently crushed. They went through another one that wasn't much better before finally getting a pretty decent one. | |
