CRIMSON DAWN “Inverno” /CD/

The third full-length studio album by Italian Epic Doom Metal band.
Crimson Dawn was born in 2005 and shows passion for Epic traditional Doom Metal. Their debut album was mastered by Dan Swanö at Unisound Studio, took the Heavy Metal world by storm with its heavy riffs paired with epic and sullen melodies. In 2014, the band promoted their first official release by playing in great Doom festivals like Play It Doom Festival and Malta Doom Metal Festival.
Though the band’s sound is definitely rooted in Doom, the energy and larger than life songs, that are so often associated with Power Metal, is definitely on display here.  Combine that with thick, huge riffs and tight songwriting, then what you have is a Doom album of extremely high quality and replay ability.
With the good songwriting, “Inverno” sounds pretty damn great and smooth. The pacing of the album itself is perfect, as is the running time of 46 mins or so.  Their vocalist has one of the best clean voices in the business. In essence, this is just one of those albums that is fun (that isn’t a word  associated with the often morose Doom Metal genre, but it fits here because you can press play on “Inverno”, and not have to worry about skipping a track) - just sit back and enjoy the high-class Doom Metal!
“Inverno” will entertain you from the first note to the last, and you couldn’t get enough of it.  Any fan of this style of Doom or Heavy Metal needs to add this to their “get” list immediately!  Highly recommended!!
