CROWN LANDS

SATURDAY

Formed in 2015, Canadian progressive rock duo Crown Lands have steadily emerged as one of the genre’s most ambitious modern voices. Following their JUNO Award-winning self-titled debut in 2020 and Fearless in 2023, the band expanded their conceptual universe in 2025 with the instrumental releases Ritual I and Ritual II, their first albums on InsideOutMusic. With their new album Apocalypse, Crown Lands arrive at a pivotal moment, delivering their most demanding and fully realized work to date. 

Musically and creatively, Apocalypse marks a clear turning point. After completing Rituals entirely in their home studio, the band gained the confidence to take near-total control of the production process. “Rituals was our first real, concerted effort to do everything ourselves,” explains guitarist/bassist/keyboardist Kevin Comeau. “That record gave us the confidence to realize we could make a Crown Lands album in our own space, without a major-label budget or a big, fancy studio.”
