Crimson Sky

In its renewed cast the band CRIMSON SKY has started to work in May 2010. The vocalist, the founder and the leader of the band Bohdan Torchylo brought together both experienced and beginning musicians. From the former cast were only he and the keyboardist Anatoliy Kyrylyuk. The band itself was founded in July 1998, in Rivne (Ukraine) by Bohdan Torchylo and his friend Nazar Mazurok. From the very beginning the band began to play gothic-doom metal. The early history of the band’s formation was not rich in important events in the creative and concert way. The progress of the band was slowed down due to different changes of the band’s cast and musical difficulties for a long time. That was the reason why the creative and musical activity was not making progress as fast as wanted. The short chronology of that period: 2000 - The first appearance and the first active concert period. 2003 - an active creative period of the old band members. The made material could be worth creating a full-length studio album. But again, due to some musical difficulties and the changes in the cast it was not recorded. Autumn 2005 - the last performance of the old cast of the band January 2006 - the last rehearsal of the old cast, after which the band leader Bohdan Torchylo decided to find a new cast. From 2006 to the current time - vocal and creative activity of Bohdan Torchylo is in the cast of the band ТИРАНІЯ (TYRANIYA). May 2010 - the rebirth of CRIMSON SKY with the new cast. During the first months, the band worked at the new concert program and in OCTOBER 23, 2010 - the PREMIER of the renewed CRIMSON SKY took place!!! In November 2010 the band started to work on recording the debut album in the studio of their friend-band MЭRVA (MERVA). Within 11 days the material of the debut album "Rising" was recorded. During the next few months the work on mixing and mastering of the album continued. The sound engineering, mixing and mastering of the album was made by Peter Zarudnyy – the vocalist, the guitarist and the leader of the band MЭRVA (MERVA). In April 2011 – the band CRIMSON SKY have presented their first Internet-single "Примарний Сон - Illusive Dream". The single gained many favourable reviews in Ukraine and outside the country. And in May 2011 the band signed a contract with the "Black Art production & distribution" label to issue the album "Rising".

DISCOGRAPHY "Rising" (2011) TRACK-LIST: Crimson Sky (Intro) Примарний Сон — Illusive Dream Хрест - The Cross In Eyes Of Mine The Ode απόπτωσις — Apoptosis Nord-lys (Outro) PRESS-RELEASE of the Album "RISING" Press-release of the album "Rising" "Rising" is the debut album of the Ukrainian gothic-doom band CRIMSON SKY, which was founded in the far 1998 and had its rebirth after a 4-year break in the renewed cast in 2010. You will hear a conceptual atmospheric album, completely overfilled with the feelings and emotions. Listening to the album you will make a breathtaking and an overwhelming journey. The album starts with the mysterious and mystical Intro "Crimson Sky", which immediately grows into the romantic-dreamy but at the same time heavy and very powerful song "Примарний Сон - Illusive Dream" The pressure is rising with the heavy and gloomy song "Хрест - The Cross" after which you will relax a bit with the romantic and sad, really doom ballad "In Eyes Of Mine". The classical doom song "The Ode" with the heavy main part, depressive beginning and a very tragically sound ending, but then like the new sprouts of life, that rise after the apocalyptic ashes and that gives hope – sounds "απόπτωσις - Apoptosis" Your journey ends in the far North in the emerald beauty of the Northern Lights - "Nord-lys" - the Majestic Outro is the soundtrack to this eternal beauty. The powerful growl combined with screaming and the clean male vocals and whisper, a strong female vocal, classical strong dense guitar sound in the best doom metal traditions of the 90s in the combination with the beautiful acoustic parts, magical violin and the atmospheric keyboards, pronounced bass and powerful live drums – all of that you will find in the debut album "Rising" of the Ukrainian gothic-doom band CRIMSON SKY.
