We often refer to Crimson Epiphany as a summer band. Its funny that we call it that as we all come from tropical Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where every day IS summer. Nonetheless, somehow, the label seems apt.
So the story goes that in the 'summer' of '06 Adrian had called Jeremy and I out for a jam session in Akarkarya Studios. Jeremy, had spent the last year or so in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA where he was studying in Calvin College. We used to play regularly in church before Jeremy left and we thought it would be nice to play together again.
The jam session was magical. As we left the studio, we knew that we wanted to do it again. There was an amazing chemistry in the band. Crimson Epiphany had been born.
The result of that summer was Crimson Epiphany: Awaken the Dawn EP. We put together the EP in 24 hours because Jeremy had to leave to go back to the USA. That EP brought about the No.1 single, "Bleed the Same." And while we we knew that there was still much room to grow, we knew that we wanted to put together an album the following year.
In the summer of '07 we hit the studios again, this time with a greater focus on improving the overall quality of the album. Ken joined the band at this time and proved to be the missing link in the band.
Our debut album called "Crimson Epiphany" will be in stores this month.
