Today, Spread Evil Productions
announces June 4th as the international release date for Crimson Dimension's highly
anticipated self-titled debut album.
Although appearing as a new entity, the origins of Finland's Crimson Dimension date
back to 2017 or perhaps even earlier. That year, the band revealed the
staggeringly epic track "Black Mass," which vividly displayed 12
minutes of blackened progressive metal. That Crimson
Dimension stress this difference - blackened progressive metal,
instead of "progressive black metal" - is telling, as their spectrum
of sounds & sensations encompasses a far wider range than the usually-obsidian
hues of black metal, no matter how extended or extrapolated.
While years of seeming silence followed, Crimson Dimension were
patiently crafting their long-form debut, now emerging as Crimson Dimension. If the dozen
minutes of "Black Mass" dazzled in their generous buffet of
adventurous metallics, then the three accompanying songs surrounding it on the
album go even deeper and darker than that already-not-inconsiderable feat. With
all four songs combining for nearly an hour's worth of music, Crimson Dimension go all
in on painting a dark, dynamic, and detouring canvas beyond compare. To be
sure, the root sounds are decidedly black metal in origin, but with the
quintet's enviable chops put squarely in the service of The Song and no texture
considered too taboo, Crimson Dimension mystifies
and mesmerizes with ever-shifting ease. In fact, for each of its component
tracks going well into the double digits, the album's deceptively compact;
those Herculean minutes pass ever so quickly, so thrilling and storytelling is Crimson Dimension's songcraft.
With Finland having such a rich history of black metal, both purist and
progressive, Crimson Dimension make a
bold, bold-from-the-blue bid for the weird 'n' wild throne built by the likes
of ...And Oceans, Enochian Crescent, and Trollheims Grott with their Crimson Dimension debut!
