Just Who Are Crimson Night?
Recently exploding onto the metal scene with their own mix of 'neo-classical chaotic symphony' as described by vocalist, violinist and pianist; (Ed note: And she also gets your whites whiter than white!) 'Krai'; Crimson Night became an overnight sensation with metal fans around the globe. Though the band is still in its infancy, their epic sounding symphonies seem to imply years of experience; despite the youth of many of the bands members. With tracks ranging from the anthem-like Darkness Falls to their epic cover of Gary Moore's Over the Hills and Far Away, the band displays their technical skill as well as their seemingly boundless creativity.
The band originally started off as three teenage friends playing in a parent's garage, but ended up becoming a five-piece extravaganza. From the original combination of Graeme Scholls (guitar); Sarah Nicholson (drums) and Jon Harrison (bass); flamboyant singer/songwriter 'Krai' and then later stalwart guitarist Carl Reindhart came together to form these five new, fresh musicians. In an era where so much music in the genre is the same old time-honoured traditional stylings, Crimson Night injects a feel of flying in the face of convention, and laughing.
Starting their first tour through Europe, eager fans wait in anticipation tickets selling by the hundred throughout the continent. When asked to comment, Krai is quoted as saying "It's a bit of a lark innit?" reminding many fans of the 'good old days' of fun-loving punk rockers. Other members take a slightly less 'anarchic' stand, commenting that they're amazed by how successful they have become in such a short space of time, and praising Krai's songwriting and vocal talents as the number one cause for their heady rise to stardom.
The tour stops off here in two weeks time, the stadium already sold out within days of announcement. So, unfortunately, those of you without a ticket will be sneaking in the back way, along with yours truly. (Ed note: Now now, let's not condone that sort of thing, eh?)
