Ohio's THE CRIMSON ARMADA has inked a deal with Artery Recordings. The label has issued the following update:

While metal and hardcore are two different styles of music, yet blend so well together in a nearly infinite amount of other musical varieties, some look down on the styles in a negative approach.

Columbus, Ohio’s The Crimson Armada have set out to prove otherwise. Forming in 2008, The Crimson Armada came together to go beyond just playing music, but by paying tribute to various forms of their heavy playing style combining their diverse influences and their spiritual messages encrypted within the lyrics. Something that fans who choose to look into the deeper meaning of the lyrics will find uplifting all whilst experiencing The Crimson Armada’s truly heavy style of playing mixed with uplifting and powerful melodies.? After releasing their debut album, Guardians, in the spring of 2009, they ventured across the country with acts such as THE CHARIOT and MYCHILDREN MYBRIDE and recently ending the albums cycle on two very successful runs on the Scream The Prayer tour in the summer of 2010 and on the Monument tour with MISS MAY I in the fall.

? In 2011, The Crimson Armada return with a new label and management team lead by The Artery Foundation. They will release their new album, Conviction, this summer.

Further promoting there spiritual nature in a new track entitled 'Composed of Stone'. off their upcoming release, vocalist Saud belts out anger and frustration in the opening lyrics “I’ll put the fear of god back into you”.

While many bands of today have a strong focus and sacrilegious and blasphemous matters with an obsession for gore, The Crimson Armada look to be an exception to this rule. The Crimson Armada does this by promoting a powerful message through their music and meaningful lyrics going beyond the trend of broken relationships or pure brutality.
