The Black Crown’s full-length debut ‘Fragments’ was recorded in the Summer of 2016 at Syn Factory Productions in Piano di Sorrento, Italy and Fade In Studios in Massa Lubrense, Italy. The album consists of 10 tracks and is currently available for streaming and download on popular sites such as iTunes and Spotify.
