Heavy metal enchantress White Crone has released her latest single “Prognosticator”. The hard-rocking single conjures up the magic of another time both in its lyrics and in its feel. The music recalls metal classics such as Dio and Judas Priest, while the lyrics whisk the listener into a world full of darkness and corruption. Vocalist and composer Lisa Mann howls her condemned protagonist’s tale with elegant fury.
Based out of Portland, Oregon, White Crone is the metal brainchild of award-winning blues artist and bassist/vocalist Lisa Mann. Growing up in the mosh pits of the 80s, she was inspired by bands such as Iron Maiden, Mercyful Fate, Black Sabbath, Manowar, Dio, and more. A mostly one-woman project, White Crone is a love letter to this grand era of metal, and a lyrical homage to mystical storytelling traditions of yore.

In 2020, she channelled all those influences and released her debut album as White Crone, the critically acclaimed The Poisoner. For the first time, she featured not only on bass guitar and vocals, but on 7-string guitar as well. Larry London provided most of the drums, save for one track featuring the legendary Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath, Dio).
Now she is poised to release a follow-up album, of which the title track, “Prognosticator,” is the first single. The song “Prognosticator” is a fast-paced, prog-adjacent power metal romp that tells the preternatural origin story of the character White Crone, retaining the occult storytelling elements of the first album. It is the tale of a self-fulfilling astrological prophecy.
