Canadian progressive rock duo Crown Lands have steadily emerged as one of the genre’s most ambitious modern voices. Now, the band deliver their new studio album Apocalypse, their most demanding and fully realized work to date, set for release on the 15th May 2026.
Fresh off the back of the bands Canadian headline tour, the band are pleased to launch their new single ‘Blackstar’, accompanied by an epic new video created by collaborator Luke Paron.
Kevin Comeau comments: “Apocalypse is very much Blackstar’s story: his rise to power within the Syndicate, his violent victories over the Dragon Riders of Karagon, and the crushing loss of his family in the resulting civil war on his home-planet.
The song Blackstar reads like an old-western murder ballad like Marty Robbin’s Big Iron, only through a cosmic space-prog metal lens. It’s a chronicle of Blackstar sweeping through the galaxy, crushing all that lay in his path.”
Musically and creatively, Apocalypse marks a clear turning point. After completing Rituals entirely in their home studio, the band gained the confidence to take near-total control of the production process. Guitarist/bassist/keyboardist Kevin Comeau explains, “That record gave us the confidence to realize we could make a Crown Lands album in our own space, without a major-label budget or a big, fancy studio.” That confidence carried directly into Apocalypse, with much of the album written and recorded in the same room the band has worked in since 2020. To enhance the album’s most crucial moments, Crown Lands selectively collaborated with producers Nick Raskulinecz and David Bottrill.
Apocalypse’ will be released as a Ltd CD Edition, Gatefold Neon Yellow LP, Limited Gatefold Neon Green LP & as Digital Album.

For a while now, Zakk Wylde’s been a busy, busy boy. Not only had he been touring with Pantera for a loooong time, but his band Black Label Society released their latest album Engines of Destruction and has been on tour with Zakk Sabbath (Wylde’s Black Sabbath cover band) for its ‘American Crusade’ tour. That’s all well and good, but that tour isn’t quite over just yet, as it was announced that a second leg of the tour will take place this summer.
Set to take place from August 25 in Albany, New York until the final show takes place on October 2 in Bend, Oregon, the second leg of the ‘American Crusade’ tour will once again see BLS and Zakk Sabbath share the stage, meaning Zakk Wylde’s gonna be pulling double duty for another 20 shows. They’ll also have Dark Chapel on the bill, so there should be some downtime for Wylde between sets.
Tickets go on sale this Friday, April 24 at 10 a.m. local time. That’s for both general admission tickets, as well as the VIP upgrades on offer. A pre-sale is currently ongoing at the band’s website. All you need to enter that is to use the code BLS2026.
You can find all of the tour’s dates below. Be sure to find the nearest venue to you and get your tickets when they go live this Friday.
