Avant-garde metal collective In The Woods... has served the final advance single/lyric video, "The Crimson Crown", from its approaching full-length, Otra, scheduled for release on 11 April via Prophecy Productions.
In The Woods...'s guitarist and keyboard player Kåre André Sletteberg comments on "The Crimson Crown", quoting its lyrics: "It's time to face the music. It's time to wear the crown. It's time to face the justice. It's time to take me down. The swords are pointed at me. The gloves are on the ground. The shackles bind and bite just like the crimson crown".
