Band biography
Crimson Moon photo
CRIMSON MOON was first known from it’s 1994 self titled demo release which instantly gained a high amount of attention within the American Black Metal scene. Following up in 1995 with the “Into the Nocturnal Forest” demo release, CRIMSON MOON gained praises worldwide and left a true determined mark upon the demo/cult days of the Black Metal scene.

The musick, which was self-proclaimed “Vampyric Black Metal” did and continues to this day to receive a large amount of misunderstanding from those who never witnessed it’s essence. Understandable, due to the large amount of bands within the Black Metal scene which have exploited the meaning of occult matter and symbolism while oblivious of any true significance. For Crimson Moon it should only take a competent individual to take more than a quick glance at their material to realize this is indeed Occult Music.

After agreeing to a release scheduled through ABYSS PRODUCTIONS, the debut C.D. “To Embrace the Vampyric Blood” was completed but due to several delays the material was not released until late 1996, almost a year after the recording was finished. Despite having released a C.D. entirely recorded on 4-track, the C.D. received reviews and reactions of honor with a raw but impressive production. Unfortunately the released suffered from poor promotion outside of the U.S. boundaries. Meanwhile in September of 1997 a rehearsal recording was made of material that soon came to be known as “Under the Serpentine Spell”. This material was the first recording made with t3rd member, Khaija Ausar performing synthesizers. Once again, the material was extremely raw and recorded on 4-track. The material was never official released but spread out to a limited group of listeners, proving new standards and expectations from CRIMSON MOON. Time shall tell if! this material shall ever be available in its entirety as an official release.

Still to this day CRIMSON MOON has not ceased writing and arranging material for their long anticipated, second and new release. A professional private studio and an arsenal of material composed throughout a 4 year + period now currently promises CRIMSON MOON to deliver a devastating execution with their upcoming onslaught. The time is near.

“…and thus shall the Crimson Moon ascend…”
