BIOGRAPHY: Hailing from Los Angeles, CROWNED BY FIRE was conceived in early 2006 by guitarist JUSTIN MANNING, vocalist JOHN THE IMPALER, drummer J.R. CRAMPTON and bass player DREAD! This band is built on a strict set of guidelines. Those being you have to be of the highest standard musically, without losing the all too important looseness that most of todayâs over produced hard rock acts seem to overlook. Think tight and punchy like PANTERA but dangerously loose like GUNS N ROSES while keeping that big band feel by using multiple amplifiers and a large triggered drum kit to set that âover the topâ vibe and being able to back it up with serious musical prowess. The Gods of Metal have spoken in the year of 08' by signing CROWNED BY FIRE to the London based label MMP UK (MOLTEN METAL PRODUCTIONS). In the winter of 08' CBF spent 5 weeks in FLORENCE ITALY recording at the prestigious LARIONE 10 STUDIO. The debut album titled PRONE TO DESTROY is set for a July 09â release with worldwide touring to follow. CROWNED BY FIRE is proud to be part of such an ambitious and influential heavy label.

Guitarist JUSTIN MANNING was taught by some of todayâs leading guitar heroes. ZAKK WYLDE actually took Justin âunder his wingâ for several years teaching him and bringing him out on the road with him on two different tours. First a BLACK LABEL SOCIETY headlining tour, and then the all mighty OZZFEST. He has also worked extensively with GEORGE LYNCH of DOKKEN and the infamous YNGWIE MALMSTEEN. He is the next guitar hero. Swinging a Les Paul (actually given to him by Zakk Wylde) down low through a set of dual stereo Marshall Amplifiers. That is until his recent endorsement with Schecter Guitar Research.

Vocalist JOHN THE IMPALER with his foot in a dive bar, trip to the Moon approach to writing, think MOTORHEADâs Orgasmatron and BLACK SABBATHâs Symptom Of The Universe while throwinâ back a cosmic cocktail with ALEISTER CROWLEY during a CHARLES BUKOWSKI bar fight. Owner and Operator of one of Los Angeles Countyâs longest standing Body Piercing only shops, "JUST PASSING THRU". Johnâs love for horror, sci-fi, tribal history, mysticism, underground metal and classic rock are evidently clear in his writing, creating an original melodic doom feel.

Drummer J.R. CRAMPTON is the artillery unit of CROWNED BY FIRE. What he does on the drums is unobtainable by most drummersâ standards. With machine gun like double bass and unbelievably fast hands and once compared to âthe oiled thunderbolt IGOR CAVALERAâ, is hands down one of the todayâs greatest metal drummers. Bringing a positive attitude and an eye for business J.R. is an irreplaceable part of this band.

On Bass we have the almighty DREAD! Guitarist/vocalist/hedonist by trade. Mastermind behind Los Angelesâ POTTYMOUTH and MANDOWN. He brings to the table what LEATHERFACE does for a warm family gathering. Long time amigo and punk/metal hero, -you kool kids may have seen him on the road the past few years burninâ riffs on guitar for the infamous GREEN JELLO. Weâre proud to say DREAD calls the notorious CBF HOME BLOODY HOME!!!â¦
