Wollongong's Death/Doom metal powerhouse Crown Street Militia have released a new track "Face The Blade".

Face the Blade is the second single from Wollongong Death/Doom heavyweights Crown Street Militia upcoming sophomore EP ‘Heavy Metal II’. Recorded by Tom Sigal (Burn in Hell) in September 2025, the EP is a more direct and aggressive release than their debut “Propaganda” and shows the band lean into the heaviest sides of themselves. Taking elements from iconic acts like Bolt Thrower and modern masters like Gatecreeper, the record is a tribute to riffs, evil & the album's namesake: the heavy distortion of the infamous BOSS HM2. ‘Heavy Metal II’ is due for release in September 2026 via Fowl Taste Records.

‘Face the Blade’, a much harsher and more brutal song that instantly shows you what the band is about: Making sure the heaviest riffs are still locked into a solid groove & taking both of these elements as far as they’ll go.

This release will bring the band to Melbourne, Sydney & Wollongong in May/June and will be accompanied by a two part music video for ‘Domini Mortis / Face The Blade’.
