Monthly Metal #5
We’ve been living inside Crown of Thorns tracks for over a year, fine-tuning every part before handing them over to you. They’ve been the air in our lungs, the weight on our shoulders, the fire in our hands. To finally let them out into the world was like handing over a piece of our own hearts.
We’re so excited to see that you didn’t break it, instead you held it up!
@pinkparadox.band Unholy chaos! You're absolute legends 🤘🏻 #metaltok #grateful #thankyou #legend #milestone ♬ original sound - Pink Paradox
Now, you’re listening. We see the messages, we feel the energy shifting. We’ve been watching those streams quietly tick upward, a slow, steady pulse connecting us all.
Reaching 34,000 streams for our new metal album Crown of Thorns on Spotify alone, a number weaving together the raw aggression of our early metalcore, nu-metal, and post-hardcore singles and the full, immersive experience of the progressive metal journey you’ve been diving into this past week, is humbling.
It’s not a number to us! It’s proof that what we’ve been building in our own isolated space for the past year is now breathing in yours. This is about the connection that defines our music.
Seeing these tracks leave our hands and find a home in your playlists, your late nights, your own moments of defiance that’s the entire point.
Thank you for giving these aggressive anthems and progressive explorations a place to live outside of our heads.
Thank you for taking our cathartic rage and making it feel like a shared universal language for everyone who feels the weight of the world.
Demons has clawed its way out of the screen and into the light. We’ve watched that video, our most visceral and personal one yet, gather a life of its own. Our Pink Paradox music video for Demons surpassing 24,000 views on YouTube in just the past two weeks is a deafening response. It tells us you see the rage in the imagery, you feel the confrontation in every frame. You’re not just watching, you’re connecting with this personal enraged nu-metal anthem.
We’ve been curating something in the shadows, a direct line to the sounds that fuel our fire. We just dropped our new Spotify playlist, Pink Paradox Metal Bangers. This is our metal universe, a chaotic mix of rad metalcore, down-tuned nu-metal, intricate progressive metal, and raw post-hardcore tracks. It’s a map of our biggest influences and a platform for the bands, cult and new, who deserve all your streams and your rage. You’ll find our tracks living right alongside the giants and the underground heroes that shaped us, with 10 hours of the most visceral metal tracks you’ll ever hear.
And while we were building all this, other voices started to pick up the signal. We’re grateful that publications and curators have given Crown of Thorns a platform, helping these songs travel further.
