THE UNGUIDED - Crown Prince Syndrome (Official Video) | Napalm Records

Pre-order "Father Shadow" here: smarturl.it/Fa...
Out October 9th
Lyrics:
And when I look in the mirror
It’s not myself
Staring back with those judging eyes
It’s an image of the past king himself
Taunting me from the skies
Power, it cannot be destroyed
It can only be transferred
The crux of a kingborn
To bear the lowborn’s scorn
I paid my dues
And had the city rebuilt
I walked among the people
With my heart flooded by guilt
The crown, it cannot be destroyed
It can only be transferred
The crux of the lowborn
To dismiss the highborn they mourn
There is nothing worse for a lying soul
Than the mirror of reality
What’s broken can be whole
But you still see cracks in the reflection
And it’s your own curse, a heavy toll
Don’t let it spoil your sanity
You might fill the hole
In your soul but it still has an infection
Not every father gets a chance to start
His son off in his own footsteps
I’m a far cry from him
A charlatan, unworthy of his blood
There is nothing worse for a lying soul
Than the mirror of reality
What’s broken can be whole
But you still see cracks in the reflection
And it’s your own curse, a heavy toll
Don’t let it spoil your sanity
You might fill the hole
In your soul but it still has an infection

It's great to see Roland even not hearing his voice in the band's new songs anymore. He will always be part of The Unguided. 😊

[@ferrenberg]

I used to be a Sonic Syndicate fan back in the 2000s but lost interest in them and never really heard The Unguided up until now. I'm surprised, this is amazing. Groovy!

[@depapa701]

Did you never went on sonicsyndicate.com ? I'm still amazed by this little fact 😂

[@MotivatedPiller]

I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see Roland at the beginning! I'm glad he's doing well! Great song! Im excited for this album!

[@theaniridian]

Glad to see the Unguided still kicking ass. It's been years since I've listened to them. I'm not entirely surprised Roland isn't singing anymore, but the new guy compliments this song and style very well. Not disappointed by him at all.

[@TheReliableBeacon]

Big fan of this track! Love Roland's appearance in the intro and Jonathan's solos always absolutely rip. Looking forward to the rest of the tracks!

[@emgiusti88]

Pre-ordered! Who knew I needed this today? Awesome and can't wait!

[@BenCarmine911]

Wow those guitar riffs fucking slay. Very nice song. Glad to see them with such power

[@ThemoKenwood]

At first I thought that intro meant that Roland has a guest solo or something in the song and then I realized that it rather (probably) means that Henric is no longer a full time member of The Unguided :(

[@MetalPhantom7]

Roland won't be back to music anymore this time I think, he left the unguided and he's a businessman now

[@MordredXIV]

@@MetalPhantom7 I don´t think he has quit music, rather that he wont be active in it like in a band etc, maybe (if he feels like it) appear in a song or two here and there. That is of course just my theory/guess and i could be wrong, but i remain hopeful that he will atleast do a guest apperance now and then. :)

[@esposoman]

My band opened for them in Norway back in 2019. One of the best gigs I've ever been.

[@Dubbel12]

Oh dont you dare to tease me with that Denied part in the beginning....

Ok so im not losing my mind, i thought i was the only one hearing it. Glad i'm not alone on this, thank goodness.

[@kasperrumback1962]

So badass to see u guys back n its great to see Roland again

[@wubwub616]

so The Unguided has defined 2 new laws of conservation: 1. The conservation of proverbial power, "Power cannot be destroyed, it can only be transferred" 2. The conservation of the crown, "The crown cannot be destroyed, it can only be transferred"

[@laszlokovacs5007]

Jonathan is fantastic, his voice opens up another dimension for the band.

[@oscaryanezzavala]

Yeah

FAK YEAH! I've been looking for this song for two years! It was used as a winning theme during a Korean esports tournament called AfreecaTV Starcraft League (ASL) but they didn't show the artist or song name, and I didn't find it anywhere else! Epic song! I'll make sure to spread the word!

[@beatzoo]

La canción comienza con el cantante afirmando ser el rey de su propia destrucción y llevar la corona de un príncipe caído. Esto sugiere que el protagonista se considera a sí mismo como alguien que ha perdido su posición o estatus y que está atrapado en la oscuridad y el dolor. Además, se menciona que está cargado con el peso de numerosas mentiras, lo cual podría aludir a la carga emocional y las falsedades que ha experimentado. "In a kingdom where the sun has set, the ghosts arise Through shadowed halls, where memories die, a broken crown" Aquí se describe un reino donde el sol se ha puesto y los fantasmas emergen. El protagonista parece estar inmerso en un lugar lleno de recuerdos agonizantes y donde su corona está rota. Esto puede simbolizar la decadencia y la desesperación en la que se encuentra. "Out of the dark I rise, from ashes of my past life With fire in my eyes, a new empire I'll build tonight" Estos versos indican una resurrección del protagonista desde la oscuridad y las cenizas de su vida pasada. Ahora está impulsado por una determinación renovada y una visión de construir un nuevo imperio. Esto podría representar un deseo de renacer, dejar atrás las dificultades anteriores y buscar una oportunidad para reconstruir su vida. En general, "Crow Prince" parece hablar de la caída de un príncipe y su lucha personal para superar las adversidades y encontrar un nuevo propósito. La canción transmite sentimientos de desesperanza, pero también muestra una chispa de esperanza y determinación para volver a levantarse y crear una nueva realidad.

[@Soulitaris]

Te recomiendo escuchar el audio drama de la banda, se llama The Book of the Unguided. La canción habla sobre uno de los personajes. Pero no dare spoilers

[@blackmamba495]

As a The Unguided fan since 2012 I can guarantee that Jonathan's nowhere near close to Roland. Roland can never be replaced. But I ain't disliked this tho, not liking it either.

[@icdansheep1873]

I've been listening since Sonic Syndicate and while Roland was great, Jonathan is definitely great as well, they made a good pick.

Cleans singer is a virtuoso level good, while playing guitar as well. Just got into these guys a few months ago, so I don't have any baggage or loyalties to some former lineup, so from outside looking in my opinion is that dude is what will propel this band upward if anything does. The mix between those awesome cleans and the hybrid metal style is stunning. Wish I knew of more bands like this besides I See Stars and Starset.
