Germany’s CRIMSON SWAN Sign With Quality Steel Records; Debut Out In March
January 6, 2015, 9 years ago
Rising death-doomers Crimson Swan from Hamburg, Germany have signed a deal with Quality Steel Records.
Their debut full-length album will be released in March 2015 - details are coming soon. Crimson Swan are blending atmospheric death-doom with oppressive funeral doom parts and haunting melodies.
The roots of the band date back to a vacation in 2010, that Robert, Simon and Marcos spent in a lonely forest cottage in North Rhine-Westphalia. Inspired by this gloomy and forlorn place “When Angels Fall” was written, which would mark the first song of Crimson Swan. Fueled by the positive responses to the demo-version of said song, more tunes were concocted, until the EP Icon could be recorded with the help of session musicians. Although initially planned as a studio project, first gig inquiries came with the release of Icon. A few months later, Jakob (bass) and Martin (drums) joined the band and Crimson Swan found themselves playing shows with great bands like Mournful Congregation, Officium Triste, Ataraxie and Ophis
Lineup:
Robert – guitars
Simon – vocals and guitars
Marcos – keys
Jakob – bass
Martin – drums
