Q.C.I.C. Date Released: 10/28/2011   Tracks: 9 Sales: 13   Listens: 20 After reviving the 80's Teutonic thrash metal in "Cinder" and bringing the classic death metal to the top of the charts with "The Sound of Malevolence", Törnekrona is ready to redefine doom metal with their eight full-length "Q.C.I.C.". The title is the abreviation of the Latin phrase 'Quis custodiet ipsos custodes', usually rendered as 'Who watches the watchmen?'. The album deals with surveillance and technocratic oppression and it's full of crushing heaviness, monolithic riffs and over the top performances of Sieg Aggern and Johan Kjellgren. This four guys can truly conjure despair through their music. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Recorded at Metronome Studios August-September 2011 Mastered by Mark Lindfors Art Direction and Design by Elias R.

The Sound of Malevolence Date Released: 5/21/2011   Tracks: 9 Sales: 17   Listens: 24 Inspired by a decade without Chuck Schuldiner, Törnekrona's new album is a lurid reinvention of their notorious death metal. Blending fantasy and social criticism, 'The Sound of Malevolence', through its death growls and guitar mayhem, sets the bar for the 2010's extreme metal. Recorded at The Abyss, Sweden Mastered by Lars Laarson Art Direction by Stephen Hagen Törnekrona thanks everybody at: Tama Starclassic Drums, ESP Guitars & Basses, Mesa Boogie

Cinder Date Released: 10/31/2010   Tracks: 9 Sales: 12   Listens: 14 Törnekrona's sixth full-length, Cinder is a classic 80's teutonic thrash/death metal album, inspired by the somber forebodings of the Atomic Age and nuclear holocaust. Only natural disasters can produce such amount of heavy sound and awe. Recorded at Tunguska Studios Mastered by Kai Wiesler Art Direction by Elias R. Törnekrona thanks everybody at: Tama Starclassic Drums, ESP Guitars & Basses, Mesa Boogie

Tartarus Date Released: 7/18/2010   Tracks: 11 Sales: 14   Listens: 20 Törnekrona's fifth full-length, Tartarus is old-fashioned death metal album: sounds like the trenches of Hell. The new vocalist, 'Sieg', put some ominous lyrics and harsh vociferations on it, while the instrumental is an absurd wall of blast beats, vicious basslines and cataclysmic riffs. Recorded at Stage One Studios Mastered by Jack Nunstruck & Lars Laarson Art Direction by Stephen Hagen Törnekrona thanks everybody at: Tama Starclassic Drums, ESP Guitars & Basses, Mesa Boogie

Svart Hål Date Released: 1/23/2010   Tracks: 9 Sales: 13   Listens: 16 Törnekrona's forth full-length, Svart Hål deals with the Babylonian, Egyptian, Mayan and Lovecraftian astrology, their hideous prophecies and mysteries. When you stargaze, you just see old pictures of the stars, so, this new tunes are old-fashioned extreme music: a little slower, a little deeper but always dark. Art direction by Gohrmul. Törnekrona thanks everybody at: Teldex Studios, Tama Drums, ESP Guitars & Basses, Mesa Boogie.

Hellysium Date Released: 4/5/2009   Tracks: 9 Sales: 14   Listens: 18 First Törnekrona concept album, Hellysium is about the prime mover of mankind: fear. After some months of interviews with shrinks, writers, priests and other fellow musicians of the extreme metal scene, this three brutal artists decided to swin in the Lake of Fire.
