Decrowned

Melodic metal is alive and well, thriving and flourishing—at least in the hands of the Joensuu-based band, Decrowned. Founded in 2017, the group paints with shades of traditional heavy metal, feisty death metal, and symphonic metal, culminating in a type of magic only the Decrowned crew can conjure.

The band’s debut album Persona non grata, released in February 2024, has been hailed as one of the most intriguing metal releases of the year, and rightfully so. The band’s long journey together, their ambition, and unwavering love for metal music resonate in their performances both on record and live. From these elements, an unforgettable debut performance at Ilosaarirock is sure to be crafted—come and witness it this July at Laulurinne!
