The song opens with crushing metalcore-inspired guitars and savage screamo vocals. The combination recalls Sepultura and Pantera&#8217;s groove-driven brutality while also adopting modern metal&#8217;s tighter (maybe compressed)\u00a0production and rhythmic precision. The result is a sound that is classic and innovative. The song&#8217;s biggest strength is its tempo. Instead of focusing mainly on speed or heaviness, the band emphasises rhythmic toughness and distinctive guitar work. The riffs are perfectly integrated with the rhythm section, resulting in a constant driving push that maintains the energy high throughout the song. Every section\u00a0appears to be designed to have the greatest effect without losing musical excellence. Around 1:53, just a little bridge provides a refreshing change of pace before leading into an even stronger sequence of riffs and vocal aggression. This increase finally leads to a short\u00a0guitar solo, adding another layer of adrenaline before the music returns to its crushing groove-oriented metal. Fans of old-school hardcore acts like Biohazard, combined with the rage of thrash metal and the harshness of modern metalcore, will find a lot to like here. &#8220;In For A Penny&#8221; is a hard\u00a0and dynamic metal track that combines old 1990s\u00a0groove metal inspirations with modern production standards, creating a cool\u00a0listening experience for heavy music listeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Charnel Crown - In For A Penny (Official Lyric Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/z4_nfy_wB10?start=1&amp;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/people\/CharnelCrown\/61573364763588\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/people\/CharnelCrown\/61573364763588<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/charnelcrownmetal.bandcamp.com\/community\">https:\/\/charnelcrownmetal.bandcamp.com\/community<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/charnelcrownband\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/charnelcrownband<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charnel Crown, a Dublin-based groove metal band formed in December 2025, is made up of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30607,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[13,5],"tags":[5106,453,782,718],"class_list":["post-30606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hard-music","category-reviews","tag-charnel-crown","tag-hardcore","tag-metalcore","tag-thrash-metal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30606","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30606"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30606\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30608,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30606\/revisions\/30608"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
