Crown Lands - Apocalypse (Neon Yellow Vinyl)

Canadian progressive rock duo Crown Lands have steadily emerged as one of the genre’s most ambitious modern voices, and in 2026 they return with their most demanding and fully realized work to date – ‘Apocalypse’. On this album, the band have collaborated with famed producers Nick Raskulinecz and David Bottrill (both known for their work with Rush), whose contrasting approaches informed the albums creation.

Conceptually, Apocalypse is designed as a complete, album sides narrative experience, crafted with the classic album format in mind and unfolding as a cohesive story set in the same universe as their 2023 album Fearless.  At the heart of the record lies the 19-minute title track, a sprawling epic that anchors the record both musically and narratively.

Ultimately, Apocalypse is about change, the end of one thing and the uncertain beginning of another. That theme resonates not only within the album’s sci-fi narrative, but in Crown Lands’ own evolution, capturing a band fully in command of its vision and ready to push beyond every boundary it has previously set.
