After lots of festival appearances in South Africa they released their first full lenght album called "Isolated Existance" in 2011. While preparing for the finals in Wacken they are also busy with writing material for their upcoming second album which will be released in 2014.

Crimson Shadows - The band was founded in Toronto (Ontario) in February 2006. In the spring of 2007 the guys started recording a 4 song EP. After the release, Crimson Shadows started getting recognized not only by Canadian fans but also several radio stations in the states. In the last few years they shared stages with bands like Finntroll, Tyr, Morbid Angel, Edguy or Cryptopsy (just to name a few). In 2012 their first album "Glory on The Battlefield" was released and they are currently busy with work on their upcoming EP "Sails of Destiny" which will be unleashed on July 24th.
