Radio sounds start off the album along with some war samples and spoken word parts which also leads up to some depressive sounding keyboards being added onto the recording along with some operatic female vocals and then the music starts going into a heavier direction that also utilizes some black and death metal vocals in the background at times.
Melodic guitar riffing can be heard throughout the recording and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them and you can also hear some of the modern prog metal style in the songs at times while the other tracks also show influences of nu metal and electronic music along with a more modern take on goth metal.
Acoustic guitars can be heard in certain sections of the recording along with a couple of ballads which also bring in elements of art rock and one of the later songs is a 9 minute long and epic in length track that also utilizes a great amount of djent influences and the bass guitars on the recording are heavily influenced by funk music and when leads and solos are used they add in even more melody to the recording and they close the album with an 1 minute track.
Crimson Blue plays a very modern sounding form of gothic metal that also brings in elements of nu metal and art rock as well as a small touch of black and death metal to create a sound of their own, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark themes along with a touch of Norse Mythology.
In my opinion Crimson Blue are a very great sounding mixture of gothic, nu metal and art rock and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dolores" "Mechanical Madonna" "Lab II Yggdrasil" and "Black Wings". 8 out of 10.
