Australian progressive metalcore five-piece Trojans‘ new single, “Mark Of The Crown” is now streaming and can be heard below. The track features a guest spot by Aversions Crown frontman Mark Poida. Regarding the collaboration with Poida, vocalist Jesse Vanderhurst comments:
“We were absolutely stoked to get to work with one of Australia’s most talented vocalists. He was so easy to work with and while he has one of the most evil vocal abilities in the industry, he was such a friendly guy!”
Speaking of the song itself, he adds:
“‘Mark Of The Crown’ is a song about the displacement of wealth and power in today’s society. Far too often those born into wealth and privilege choose to further increase their already immense wealth instead of using their position to better mankind and help those less fortunate. We see the false smiles of our politicians promising the world with no intention of coming through with their lies, yet people eat it up, probably stemming from that inherent need or naive belief that someone will come along and be fighting for the little guy. Unfortunately that rarely is the case, and with each new leader or person in a position of power, we as a people get pushed just that bit more down. ‘Mark Of The Crown’ is also about hope and a warning of times to come. Eventually people will snap, revolt, and destroy the system, that in its infancy was put in place ‘for the people by the people’ but has become so twisted and toxic along the way.”
The track is taken from the group’s upcoming EP The Blissful Hollow, which is available for pre-order now on iTunes.
