Bio:
Known for their gripping live performances and catchy sounds and melodies, Crimson Sun has reached a completely new level with their currently released new songs. The band aims to find new dimensions and different sounds for every song. The new songs are more straightforward and heavier than before but the band has still not forgotten their versatility. Every song has its own story, in which the listener can relate to through the atmosphere created by the sounds and profound lyrics.Crimson Sun was founded in 2001 in Hamina by Joni Junnila (guitars) and Teemu Hankanen (vocals & guitars). Later Tomi Paronen (drums) and Jukka Jauhiainen (bass) joined the band, and the first gigs were made in 2003 under the name ”Lucretia”. After some line-up changes in 2004 the guitarist Joni and Jonne Taavitsainen, who was at the time playing drums in the band, decided that the band’s aims were higher than playing just as a hobby. In 2005 the band performed as a supporting act for Pelle Miljoona in Hamina under the name ”Cryptic”. At that time the band was searching for a new singer and after many candidates’s Sini Hanttu joined the band. The first gig with a new line up was in the winter 2005 in a band competition at ”Seukkarit” and the band shared the first place in the audience voting.The band took the name ”Crimson Sun” and started to work on their debut demo, and the keyboard player Jaakko Lahtinen joined the band. ”First Lights of the Sun” was released on February 2006. The band did a couple of gigs but were forced to look for a new singer, since Sini didn’t put as much effort in the band as it needed. Tina Jukarainen joined the band in summer 2006 and in October 2006 Crimson Sun released their second demo ”Tales Unseen”, which was a combination of melodic and progressive metal. A month later the band shared the first place in the band competition of ”Seukkarit” and did a few gigs around in Kotka and Hamina.In spring 2007 the band decided it would be best for Jonne and Jaakko to leave the band as the musical disagreements became too strong. The new drummer Antti Rantavuo was found quickly and the band performed in Äpärärock, Lahti with a guest keyboard player until a couple of months later Saku Moilanen joined Crimson Sun. The band decided to start developing their music to sound more straightforward and heavy and so the songs for the third demo were born. In November 2007 Crimson Sun won the band contest ”Seukkarit” and as an award got some studio time to record the drums and bass for the upcoming demo ”Tears of the Dawn” in Tempo Music Studio. The rest of the demo was recorded at E-Major studios with Tero Kinnunen, and it was released in June 2008. It got great reviews and Soundi magazine wrote that Crimson Sun was basically starting to be a ready band. After releasing the demo Crimson Sun made gigs around Southern Finland. In 2009 Saku Moilanen left the band and Miikka Hujanen became the new keyboard player of Crimson Sun.In the beginning of 2010 Crimson Sun released six new songs that show completely new sides of the band.In the end of 2010 the band part ways with singer Tina Jukarainen.After agonizing search, Sini Seppälä joined the band at the end of 2011.New EP “The Border” is was released May 2013.Debut album is set to be released in 2015!Crimson Sun is ready to rock their way into the hearts of the metal audience all around the world.
Album:
CRIMSON SUN surprised us in 2015 with their debut album “Towards the Light” and a couple of outstanding shows as the support acts of bands like CAIN’S OFFERING and EPICA. The band had been quiet for a little while, working on a sophomore record “Fates,” which is finally ready to see the light of day on 24 January 2020.“Fates” is not a concept album, but thematically, it deals with the fates and emotions of different people while making sense of the world around us in many different aspects.The album opens up with the energetic “Beast Within”, a song inspired by CrossFit that definitely makes a good track to workout on. A great workout song has a good beat, inspiring lyrics, and helps make those sets fly by. Whether you like pop, country, hip hop, or rock, these genres all have some powerful tracks that will improve your workouts. With its pumping rhythms, catchy choruses and outrageous energy “Beast Within” will allow you to follow the rhythm to the song and work out with a pumping heart. “Virtual Reality” starts off with some synths, reminiscent of Tron, it then progresses into a melodic metal anthem with energetic riffs and poppy vocals.“We Are One” was the first single to be released in support of the new album, and has a strong theme of overcoming obstacles together, referring to the band’s personal lives. The song shows a more mature CRIMSON SUN, with poppy elements, but still with the same attention for melodic elements and great progressions. “We Are One” is not only surprisingly catchy, but it also has some great surprises in there, like the sudden switch around the 3-minute mark, this moment is certainly unexpected but fits in beautifully with the rest of the song.Things switch up a little bit as “The Prison” kicks in, which is one of my personal highlights of the album, as it leans a little bit more towards symphonic metal with grande orchestrations and more of a variety when it comes down to vocals. The album slows down with “Overcome,” which showcases a more emotional side of the band that is also really welcome change. The track transitions beautifully into the ambient intro of “Fate of Nora,” which picks up energy as it progresses.“Trailblazer” starts off with a SABATON/NIGHTWISH-like riff and is perhaps the biggest surprise of the album for me. This is a fun track that has great energy and is also one of my personal highlights on the album. “Distant Stars” continues in a similar way, and has some great instrumental parts, even though at times I feel that the song is missing a little bit of energy. This is made up for in “Essence of Creation,” which starts with a pumping main riff with guitar and keyboards before Sini‘s powerful vocals kick in. It shows yet another side of the more mature CRIMSON SUN. The song is a bit heavier, has the same poppy elements incorporated in the sound, and has an outstanding positive atmosphere. Listening to a song with such an uplifting atmosphere will bring you instantly in a good mood.“Last Day On Earth,” starts with a dramatic piano and strings intro, after which it continues in a mid-tempo epic track with pounding drums, outstanding orchestrations, emotive vocals, and grande passages. This might just be one of their best compositions ever made, meaning that “Fates” definitely ends in a great way.The only thing that keeps me from loving “Fates” to the full maximum, is its production. While the production of their debut album “Towards the Light”, sounded more open, “Fates,” at times feels a bit more plastic and muddy. Poppy elements à la AMARANTHE have taken a more central role in CRIMSON SUN‘s sound, and as a result, they at times overpower Sini‘s vocal performance a little bit. The songs are fun and easy to listen to, there’s a lot of variety on the album, with energetic songs such as “Beast Within,” “Essence Of Creation,” and heavier songs such as “The Prison,” and “Trailblazer” and the epic “Last Day On Earth”. All-in-all “Fates” makes a great successor to the critically acclaimed “Towards the Light”. If you enjoy heavy riffs, unforgettable melodies, and catchy choruses you won’t be able to shake off for the next couple of days, then “Fates” will definitely be an album you will enjoy!
