Hailing from Kotka, Finland, female-fronted quintet Crimson Sun play modern melodic metal with an in your face attitude. Crimson Sun have signed with Canadian label Maple Metal Records to release their debut album, Towards The Light, on August 3rd worldwide. As part of the deal Maple Metal Records will re-release the band’s 2013 EP The Border, recorded with the same lineup as the new album.
 
Towards The Light was recorded last Fall at Deep Noise Studios, Kouvola, Fi with Saku Moilanen, and the mastering was done by Jacob Hansen (Epica, Volbeat, Amaranthe, Primal Fear)in Denmark. The album cover art is by renowned Serbian artist Slobicus Doomicus. An official video for the title track Towards The Light will be streamed online to coincide with the albums release.
 
Jacob Hansen has shared his comments on Towards The Light: “I really enjoyed the songs and the band. To me, this band could easily become ‘the Next Big Thing’! The song structures and overall sound is catchy, as well as being heavy. Fine tuning this combination could mean big business!”
