Biografie
“Angel Blake is the name of my present musical direction. When The Crown split up I took a heavy trip in the soulsearch land to figure out what I wanted to do with my musical life. To stop writing music was never an option. Simply cause I can't or want. I came to the conclusion that I didn't want to form or join a new band and start getting knowing new people just to be "active" as a musician. So, I decided to go solo. It's definitely a challenge, and most important, it's something NEW and a FRESH breeze in my life. What ever happens with Angel Blake is up to me. So it's both a scary and a satisfying feeling. All the instruments will be performed by myself for the debut album. Everything that will happen from there on is as uncertain for you as it is for me. I felt right away when I decided to "go solo" that I didn't want to create an album that would compete with the Crown's history. I mean, I didn't want to name the band "Total Satan" and ride on the Crown's popularity and blast our Death and rock´n roll style. The Death/Thrash we created was very fucking good in my opinion and I can't simply do as good Death/Thrash Metal without the help of my brothers. Our sound was always dependent of the unity as a band. Then what is Angel Blake all about??? Well, I do have a certain style in me that I can't get away from (not that I want to…). If The Crown was more about speed and aggression, then Angel Blake is more about heavy melancholic songs. There's no blastbeats here. I have always enjoyed during the years to write these "different" kinds of songs to The Crown, songs that weren’t within the typical death/thrash borders. For a CrownHead I would describe the sound as somewhere in the lines of: Dead Man's Song, Bow To None, In Memoriam, World Below, Death By My Side, Vengeance, the more heavy side of The Crown's sound. And for someone who has never heard of The Crown, I would describe it as influenced and inspired by bands as Metallica, Paradise Lost, Pain, Danzig, Sentenced spiced up with some heavy Morbid Angel twists (oh yeah). And as mentioned before, with "NORMAL" rock/metal vocals!”Quelle: http://www.dynamicartsrecords.com/Discografie2006 - Angel Blake

Marko Tervönen lässt sich nicht unterkriegen und geht mit ANGEL BLAKE seinen eigenen Weg, von dem ihn weder Label-Probleme noch Line Up-Wechsel abbringen können. Wie sollte es auch, schreibt er doch die Musik komplett allein. Wie seine Visionen für ANGEL BLAKE aussehen und ob er jemals wieder in einer richtigen Band spielen wird, verriet er im Gespräch...

Marco Tervonen hat mit THE CROWN eine der coolsten Death Metal-Kapellen Schwedens am Start gehabt - dass er sich nach dem Ende der Band nicht aufs Altenteil zurückziehen würde, war zu hoffen. ANGEL BLAKE sind zwar anders als THE CROWN, aber dürfte Herrn Tervonen neue Fans bescheren.

Nach dem Ende von The Crown war es klar, dass nicht jeder fünf Beteiligten in Zukunft verstummen würde.

Wirklich geglückt war der Start für ANGEL BLAKE nicht: nach dem Release des Debüt musste Marko Tervonen (THE CROWN) genauso den Rausschmiß bei Metal Blade verkraften wie den Weggang von Gitarrist Chri
