CRIMSON MOON was established in 1994 by Scorpios Androctonus – known also for his work with ACHERONTAS, ZEMIAL, DEMONCY, MELECHESH and AKRABU among others – as a solo project in the US and relocated to Germany in 1998.
After working with different members throughout the years, 2016 reveals the long-awaited third full-length release titled “Oneironaut”. Four years in the making, this album has returned to the roots of the lineup and was written, performed, and recorded once again entirely by Scorpios Androctonus with additional guest appearances by members of ACHERONTAS, DEMONCY and Ralph Santolla (ex-DEICIDE, DEATH, OBITUARY) on select tracks.
The aura of “Oneironaut” is a familiar one to previous CRIMSON MOON releases in the spirit and atmosphere, both musically and lyrically. A definite progression is also introduced in song structure and strategic use of additional instruments, including exotic instruments such as the Esraj, Frame Drums, Tanpura, Cretan Lyra, fretless acoustic bass, and innovative uses of acoustic guitars among other stringed instruments and percussion. The music of “Oneironaut” executes a blend of mystical, dream-like atmospheres which morph from violent and aggressive Black Metal synonymous with the occult atmosphere. Lyrically, the topics vary from traditional Necronomicon-inspired myths, Sumerian lore, astral projection, and lucid dreaming to content that covers homage to the old goddesses of worship, survival of the fittest/breaking the myths of equality, and spiritual transcendence.

Black metal acts like to play it obscure. Anonymous members. Wind-tunnel production. Unintelligible howling.
A little clarity makes the genre pop. CRIMSON MOON exploit that fact on long-awaited third album “Oneironaut”. The grime never gets so thick that listener can’t imagine sole studio member Scorpios Androctonus picking his guitar. The upshot is, a little polish makes the band’s many twists and turns all the more audible.
For example, take the song “Urillian Worm”, streaming below. What begins as a relatively straightforward black metal jam opens up into a clean guitar passage with spoken word lyrics, then transitions into a slight but effective tempo change. A little keyboard accompaniment almost evokes personae non gratae such as Cradle of Filth, but only the best part of that band. The riff beginning at 3:07 is the truth, all midrange growl and vitriol while still retaining a pinch of Paul Allender-ish melody. Dynamic and playful, it would not be a stretch to call CRIMSON MOON “progressive”, and not just on this tune. Folk string instruments and hand percussion accent almost every song, and put Crimson Moon in a troupe of like-minded neoprogressive black metal acts like Cult of Fire. This turn of events comes as no surprise when one keeps in mind that Scorpios played as a live member of Zemial, and contributed to the latest album by Melechesh.
A bonus: CRIMSON MOON plays the vocals relatively straight, making the best use of guest vocalists like Robert “Ixithra” Cruzen, the man behind Demoncy.
“Oneironaut” will be available on December 6 via World Terror Committee and Dark Adversary.
