[MUSIC INTERVIEW] CRIMSON VEIL – Hex Interview

CRIMSON VEIL continue to captivate the music community with their unique take on alternative metal, releasing their new music video ‘Shift’.

This single is likely the catchiest tune from Hex, the debut album of the UK-based band, set to take the world by storm on September 20, 2024 via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM). ‘Shift’ is a dark and catchy song that will appeal to any rock or metal fan.

The music builds gradually incorporating Eastern scales into a bass groove, drawing listeners deeper into Mishkin’s spell. The lyrics serve as a chilling warning to those who might cross her path, with lines like, “I’ll be the secret that talks…I’ll be the hammer that falls.” 

The song culminates in a MESHUGGAH-esque riff in 15/8, which, despite its complexity, is surprisingly easy to headbang to. The final chorus and end riff deliver powerfully, making the track both intense and enjoyable.

This week Dave Griffiths caught up with the band to find out a little more about the album:
