Biography

Crown of Creation was founded in 1985. The band’s name was inspired by the album "Crown of Creation" by Jefferson Airplane.[3]

The band began in Großmoor (belongs to the municipality of Adelheidsdorf) and moved to Hannover in 1987. After numerous line-up changes and many recordings, the band went into the studio of Rick J. Jordan (Scooter) in 1993 with Nicole Sukar and recorded, with the help of the record producer Herman Frank (Victory), their debut CD "Real Life". Following that release (1994), Olaf Oppermann was the band's guitarist.

In 1994 and 1995, the band was in the department of Seine-et-Marne, near Paris, on tour. In 1998, the band dissolved. After 11 years of absence, Crown of Creation came together again in 2009, with the new singer Anne Crönert.

In 2010, the CD EP "Darkness in your Life" was produced and, in conjunction with the Dance Factory from Lachendorf, a video was developed. In May 2010, over several weeks, a series ran with the story of Crown of Creation in the "Wathlinger Bote" and the "Wathlinger Echo", which presented the facts and news from the past 25 years.

For Christmas 2010, the band gifted their hometown of Hannover the song, "At Christmas Time".[4]

The children’s choir of the primary school of Adelheidsdorf performed with the band in August 2011 in a studio in Hannover to sing the chorus of "Child's Eyes" with three German-language passages.[5] In 2012, Crown of Creation contributed a new and unreleased song to the charity compilation "Made in Ce(lle)" in support of the children's hospice work and even worked with the lead in the production and marketing of the sampler.

In 2013, the CD maxi "With the Rhythm in my Mind" was released.[6] On this occasion, the video production company emovion produced the video of the main title and another one of the song "Child’s Eyes".[7]

On August 18, 2015, Hofa GmbH label released the best of album "Best of Crown of Creation 1985–2015", a double CD with songs from the original albums, unreleased tracks, special mixes and live recordings.[8]
