Description/Reviews: 

Crimson Dawn have self-proclaimed Epic Doom Metal as their genre, and quite honestly, it genuinely fits with what is contained on their debut album, In Strange Aeons…  As a whole, all of their elements fit with every misuse and correct use of the word.  Throughout the course of the record you will go on a long journey crossing fantastical soundscapes encountering heroic riffs, towering song structures, and massive grooves.  All with this hint of flair that will bring to mind some of those ancient epic poems that you I love so much.  Epic is really the only word I can find that simply describes the whole of Crimson Dawn’s sound, so I will use and abuse it.

Description/Reviews: 

One of the most appreciated underground bands of the Italian psych-stoner-doom scene, is about to release their new album, the third one. Black Sabbath, Hawkwind, Celtic Frost, Pentagram... Midryasi's most amazing feature is the skill to sound like all of these bands and none of them at the same time and to mix doomy, psychedelic and extreme influences without any fall of coherence nor personality.

In a time when so many bands are rediscovering the sounds and atmosphere of the 70′s heavy and rock vibes, creating an authentic revival of the genre, Midryasi turn over on themselves to produce an album that – while making full use of their handful of influences – is (if possible!) even more varied and personal than the previous ones.
Heavy and dark, psychotic and soft, Black, Blue and Violet is like a sombre and glossy brick left in the hands of the listener. The colors evoked by the seven songs that make up the album are black, blue and violet. Black, as night and the visions evoked by Hole of the Saturday Night; Blue, as the violent fluid feelings of The Counterflow and violet, as the reflections and flares captured by Diagonal.
Once again Midryasi give birth to an album that draws heavily on their Sabbath sources of inspiration, but at the same time does not sound exactly like any of them, giving rise to a new multicolored creature of the crazy saga begun 10 years ago.
