For another preview of Amain, the album track, “The Last of Stands”, can also be heard at: metalblade.com/crimfall

Amain is Crimfall‘s most ambitious album yet, combining familiar elements with fresh inspiration, and wreathed in massive crisp production from Fascination Street Studios. Featuring music that spans from monumental orchestrations to songs whispered over fading pyres, Amain contains layers upon layers of grand melodies woven between jagged shadows. On this new release, Crimfall also continues to sing the stories of wars waged in vain, advocating freedom from religious dogmas and the bloody chains of tradition.

3. Ten Winters Apart – pt1. Far From Any Fate
4. Ten Winters Apart – pt2. Song of Mourn
5. Ten Winters Apart – pt3. Sunder the Seventh Seal

Finnish Cinemascopic Metallers CRIMFALL Sign Worldwide Deal With Metal Blade Records

Metal Blade Records is proud to announce the signing of Finnish cinemascopic metallers CRIMFALL to its ranks!

CRIMFALL comments: “We are beyond excited for this opportunity to work with the legendary Metal Blade. It makes all these years we wrestled with the third album worthwhile as we can finally share the fruits of our labor through the most dedicated and respected label. Crimfall never does anything half-assed so be sure we go all in with this album as we see this as a massive opportunity to raise the stakes to the sky-high level.”

CRIMFALL took its shape in 2007 from the mind of Jakke Viitala. He gathered talented musicians to drive forth his lifelong vision of music that would respect no boundaries. Crimfall has released two albums since then, 2009′s As The Path Unfolds… and 2011′s The Writ Of Sword. Wearing many a mask, Crimfall‘s movie metal eludes easy descriptions. The influence of ancient grim-frost North and its traditional roots meet echoes of black metal, but it is all iced with massive orchestration and epic movie soundtrack atmosphere. The melodies convey atmospheres of majesty, adventure and times long forgotten, as the interplay of Mikko’s demonic screams and Helena’s heavenly vocals bring forth the raw, natural feelings and underline the cycle of seasons and the contrast of ascending lights and falling shadows.

With their third album, Amain, CRIMFALL has combined the best of the first two albums with new elements. Set to be released in summer 2017, a first teaser for Amain can be viewed at:

CRIMFALL: Parts Ways With Singer, Looks For Replacement

Finnish epic metallers CRIMFALL have issued the following announcement on their Facebook Page:

Crimfall

The day none of us wanted to come has arrived. In order to keep the flame of Crimfall alive, and to finish our 3rd album, it has become evident we need to find the creative spirit we once had. As the only way out from the current situation we have decided, all together, that the best solution for the band, and for each one of us individually, is that Crimfall continues on without Helena.

How did we end up in a situation like this? We don’t know the answer. But as it seems that Crimfall is constantly fighting against the current state of music industry, we simply cannot win this battle if we also keep fighting against each other unable to agree and communicate on essential things.

All in all, it is a sad, sad day for us. But we believe we will rise up from the ashes, stronger than ever!

Crimfall starts to look for a new singer (male or female) as we speak. If you are (or if you know) the person we are looking for, just simply send email to crimfall@gmail.com. More information will be following in the coming weeks.

-Jakke, Mikko, Helena, Janne, Miska-

Thanks Helena for past 6 years (Burning Winds, never forget). It has been a hell of a rollercoaster ride, which has given all of us many many wonderful moments. Kippis!

“Pathways worn deep
By many or none
Yet past only weeps
Passing of one”

-Jakke, Mikko, Janne, Miska-

“It has been an interesting journey. We have made magic together, but playing or singing in a band must be done whole-heartedly for the music to reach it’s full potential, and with a heavy heart I must admit that it’s not possible for us to do together anymore. I wish you guys all the best in the future, and when it comes to Crimfall, for me the most important thing is, that the music will stay alive. Thank you, lads. You’ll always have a place in my heart.

I also want to thank our dear, dear fans and all the wonderful people we’ve had the honor to work with. Without you guys this journey wouldn’t have been possible!

Keep on rocking, and see you at gigs!

With love,
Helena”
