The CRASH THE SYSTEM - project came about as a collaboration between song-writer Sören Kronqvist and drummer/producer Daniel Flores in the fall of 2008. The duo has known each other for a couple of years and they respect each other's work. Sören and Daniel decided to make a project together with songs they enjoyed writing. Thanks to Daniel's extensive music background, good reputation, and connections in the music business he managed to bring in some of the top names in Sweden into the project.

Guest vocalists on the project are: Göran Edman (Ex-Yngwie Malmsteen, John Norum, Brazen Abbot, etc), Mats Levén (Ex-Yngwie Malmsteen, Infinite Mass, etc), Thomas Vikström (Ex-Talk Of The Town, Candlemass, etc) and Björn Jansson (Ex-Ride The Sky, Tears Of Anger, etc). Backing up these fine vocalists which are all appearing together on an album for the very first time, are Daniel Flores on drums, guitars, bass, keyboards, strings, and backing vocals (Mind's Eye, The Murder of My Sweet, etc), former Finnish 400 meter hurdle Champion and song-writer Sören Kronqvist on keyboards, rhythm guitars, and bass.

Sören Kronqvist has co-written songs for House Of Lords, Grammy-nominated Michael Bormann, Swedish rockers CCRock and 250kg kärlek. Additional guitars on the project by Johan Niemann (Mind's Eye, Murder My Sweet, etc), Daniel Palmqvist (The Murder of My Sweet), and Manuel Lewys (Machinery, Elwood, etc), additional keyboards by Andreas Lindahl (The Murder of My Sweet) and additional backing vocals by Angelica Rylin (The Murder of My Sweet).

All musicians and vocalists on this album come from slightly different areas in music making Crash The System an interesting mix of hard rock/AOR/metal styles.

Fans of 80's metal with influences of modern symphonic metal should not be disappointed with the catchy choruses and great melodies sung by some of the top hard rock singers around.

The CRASH THE SYSTEM debut album is called "The Crowning" and will be released on Frontier Records on July 3rd. The album is produced, mixed and mastered by Daniel Flores.
