When a band declares, “We don’t just make music… we wage war,” you know they’re about to shake the metal world. Blooded Crown, a fierce new project from Mexico, is set to unleash their debut album “Rise And Conquer” in 2025, a brutal death metal assault that goes beyond sound — it’s a spiritual battlefield voiced in riffs, screams, and symphonic layers.
Led by Carlos Osnaya, a veteran guitarist known for his work with Exousia and Temple of Perdition, Blooded Crown crafts music raw in intensity yet rich with meaning. “This is an extreme metal project with a prophetic, spiritual, and direct message,” Carlos explains. “We aim to awaken, challenge, and conquer through metal, carrying a flame that burns in the shadows.”
“Rise And Conquer” is a concept album that draws listeners into a realm of spiritual warfare. Nine tracks blend brutal death metal with melodic and symphonic elements, creating a dark atmosphere that balances aggression with moments of haunting reflection. Guest vocalists Claudio Enzler of German band Sacrificium and Siervo from Slave Eyes add powerful international depth to the sound.
The Birth of War: Carlos Osnaya and Blooded Crown
Carlos Osnaya isn’t new to the scene. His long career in Mexico’s metal world and international recognition with bands like Exousia, Dorcas, and Temple of Perdition provide a strong foundation for a project that mixes technical skill with emotional weight. With Blooded Crown, Carlos chose raw power and directness, creating music that crushes with sound and carries a profound message.
Collaboration with his brother and co-founder Eero Tertsunen, a Finnish musician known for his technical and melodic style, gives “Rise And Conquer” an international edge. Eero contributes guitar, drums, vocals, and production, ensuring a polished yet brutal sound. Bassist Rocío Ivette Del Moral grounds the album with heavy, precise rhythms, while guests Claudio Enzler and Siervo add layers of vocal intensity.
Brutality with a Message
“Rise And Conquer” is not just another brutal death metal album. It’s a story of spiritual warfare, a battle against inner chaos and a search for truth. The lyrics dig deep, going beyond superficial religiosity to touch on real soul struggles. Carlos emphasizes that every riff, scream, and silence carries eternal weight.
Musically, the album balances aggression with melody. Fast, brutal riffs and growls are interwoven with symphonic arrangements and melodic passages that add depth and space. This approach calls back to old-school death metal spirit but with fresh execution and energy.
The Mexican Metal Scene in 2025
Mexico’s extreme metal scene is growing fast, and Blooded Crown is one of its brightest prospects. More bands are combining brutality with technical skill and strong concepts, carving out their place internationally. Festivals like Titans of Metal Fest and Night of The Living Death draw crowds and showcase Mexico as a land of passion and brutal sound.
Blooded Crown fits perfectly into this movement, offering more than noise — a true voice for those seeking meaning amid chaos.
Release and Beyond
“Rise And Conquer” drops digitally on July 20, 2025, available for pre-save on Bandcamp and other platforms. A physical CD edition with expanded artwork, lyrics, and brutal design will follow, reinforcing the album’s theme of spiritual conquest.
For fans of extreme death metal craving something beyond music, “Rise And Conquer” is a must-listen this summer. Blooded Crown is not just a band — it’s a voice from the shadows, a call to arms and awakening.
