Release The Crimson

Wyoming, Michigan band Release The Crimson brings an in-your-face mantra and bru­tally hon­est sound to the greater Grand Rapids area. True metal, leaded, fully loaded, heavy and haunt­ing. Release The Crimson’s sound will stay in your head for hours after you’re done lis­ten­ing. The gui­tar work is catchy and at the same time very orig­i­nal. Solos don’t over­shadow the con­cept of the song like they can in many metal bands. Release The Crimson blends together like milk and choco­late, and tastes just as good to the metal-head’s musi­cal pal­let. The one and only com­plaint I had was the scream­ing– it was proven in sev­eral tracks such as “Addicted” that there are pipes there, and they could be used. The scream­ing can sound a bit screechy some­times. When I lis­ten to metal, I like to hear the lyrics, not a nag­ging crow in my ear. If you like your metal mean­ing­ful, poetic and epic, you’ll like Release The Crimson. They can be found on Facebook, Reverbnation and live at Jukes Bar in Grand Rapids on May 19^th. I highly sug­gest giv­ing them a listen.
