Answers by Jo Amore (Lead Vocals Kingcrown)

Hey, thank you for coming back for another interview!

Jo : It’s a pleasure… thank you to come back….

What is new since the last interview?

Jo : The release of our fourth album on Nov. 22nd (3 under the name of Kingcrown now, and “Resilience” was still called Öblivïon) on a new label ROCKSHOT RECORDS called “ NOVA ATLANTIS”. We also toured a lot to defend "Wake Up Call" in 2023 and 2024, and above all we took the time to compose well, to work well so that everything was perfect....

What has been inspiring you lately?

Jo : When wanted to talk about the myth of Atlantis. Approached from different viewpoints: that of a pilot in perdition above the Bermuda triangle, for example, or a futuristic projection of this civilization. We are very inspired by all the mysteries that surrounds Atlantis. Questioning of its very existence...

Do you have any new singles, videos, or albums out that you would like to tell me and your fans about?

Jo : First of all, our new album 'NOVA ATLANTIS', with already 3 singles "Real Or Fantasy", "Nova Atlantis" and the latest single "Utopia Metropolis" Check out our Spotify account to listen to ‘Nova Atlantis’, and the Rockshots Records Youtube channel for music videos.....

we are all very busy with our side projects, I released at the end of 2023 a long-standing project, which was close to my heart with my brother David, our solo album, A&MORE, entitled "Legacy", composed with 2 wonderful French guitarists -Fabrice Lacourt and Vincent Agar-... I advise you to listen to it also "Hosts of a Vanished World" the solo album by Bob Saliba, both released this year.

And otherwise, I am also the singer of the American maestro's project, Joe Stump's Tower Of Babel, whose new album will be released in early 2025, Joe Stump is also the guitarist of Alcatrazz, but which brings together some big names in music like Mistheria, Bruce Dickinson's keyboardist, Mark Cross, drummer for many bands like Scorpions among others, or Nicola Angileri who is the bassist for Jorne Lande and I very often participate in many other projects where I lend my voice.

You can see that 2024 has been a very busy time for all of us.

Do you have anything else that you would like to talk about or promote?

Jo : 2025 will be the year of KINGCROWN, we will defend live on stage "Nova Atlantis" across Europe and beyond.

We take great pleasure in being together on stage and I think everyone in the venues feels it.

We gave everything and worked hard on this album and put all our energy, all our experience at the service of the compositions, with the help of Simone Mularoni at the helm, Simone immediately understood our essence and what we wanted for “Nova Atlantis”, this guy is a genius and he gave a sound that we were looking for. he did the work very quickly, very available and open, accommodating, patient…

I can only encourage you to listen to "Nova Atlantis" to form your own opinion... and we are serene about its reception, the first reviews of the various magazines, radios and webzines around the world confirm it, this new album speaks to many people and many people appreciate it.

How can your fans best keep up to date with you, any socials you want people to check out?

Jo : We are present and visible everywhere on almost all social networks. And of course, if you come to see us on stage, it's the Holy Grail, we like to take the time to talk, take pictures, signing session, it's very important to share these moments with our fans....
