Crimson Shadows
Extreme power metallers Crimson Shadows formed in Toronto in 2006 and
spent several years honing their craft and putting out a trio of
independent releases before taking part in the International Wacken Battle
live in 2014, going on to win the competition and eventually signing to
Napalm
for their first label release, 2014's
Kings Among Men.
Stylistically, they straddle the line between speedy power metal and
melodic death metal, as their tunes are mostly very fast, rolicking
power metal tunes with the request Maiden-esque twin guitar leads,
but the vocals are predominantly deathy growls.
Several have labelled them
"
DragonForce
with death vocals",
which is a bit simplistic but actually not a bad description.
