JAE " JABLES" GEDDIS-BACKING VOCALS-29 YEARS OLD-BORN:NORFOLK, VIRGINIA----
Jae decided at a young age to put his anger and aggression for this world into music verses getting a permanent record. He sleeps, breathes, and eats music. His growl is one of a kind and you won't find it anywhere else. With influences from Sepultura, Cannibal Corpse, Chimaira, Mushroomhead, Psychopathic Records, Slayer, MSI, Dying Fetus, Cradle of Filth, Bile, Coal Chamber, and DevilDriver, it was hard to keep him away. With previous dealings in Art of Destruction and Bound and Gagged, Jae has a few years under his belt.

STEVIE RAY-LEAD/RHYTHM GUITAR-36 YEARS OLD-BORN: KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI----
From seeing Four Horseman by Metallica played on the guitar, Ray was hooked. His steel melting riffs and skeleton crushing solos have paved the way to create and incredibly distinctive signature sound. With influences from Vision of Disorder, Bloodsimple, Machinehead, Sick of it All, Dead Kennedy's, Strife, Downset, Fuck, and NailBomb, it was almost impossible for him to put the guitar down. From starting in 1989 he has made progress from history with Regression, Stresspoint, and Sick with IT, to now being the Lead/Rhythm Guitarist for Crimson Reign.

SHANE "AXEWIELDER" BERGSTROM-RHYTHM GUITAR-31 YEARS OLD-BORN: JEFFERSON CITY, MISSOURI----
Shane's love for music has been with him his entire life. With influences from artists like Zakk Wylde, Dimebag Darrell, Lamb of God, and DevilDriver, Shane had realized that he couldn't sit on the sidelines anymore, so he picked up his Black Washburn Dimebag Darrell Signature and started his journey. In a relatively short period of time while playing in the bands Serated and 4th Reich, he has developed the original rhythm guitar sound which is the basis for Crimson Reign.

CHRISTOPHER "NIGISH" WESLEY-DRUMS-22 YEARS OLD-BORN: FORT JACKSON, NORTH CAROLINA----
Chris has an incredible amount of experience at such a young age. His enhanced double bass speed along with his creative rhythms and fills, easily explains why he is one of the best live performance drummers you will see. Over the 12 years that Chris has been playing, he constantly strives to “out do” each of his own performances. His previous bands include Skinflint, Union of the Dead, Brass Balls of the Catholic Church, Dep Charge, and 4th Reich. Neil Peart, Vinnie Paul, Dave Lombardo and Matt McDonough are his strongest influences.

Crimson Reign is the premiere hardcore metal band in the Kansas City area. Their unique blend of driving rhythm guitar, hard hitting bass and accenting lead guitar lends itself to an unbelievable backdrop of percussive power. The sheer musical muscle and occasional breakneck speed of their sound is enough to turn heads at any venue, but add the performance and lead vocal insanity and they make a face melting, full throttle exhibition.
Crimson Reign was co-founded in 2007 by Rhythm Guitarist Shane “Axewielder” Bergstrom, and Drummer Christopher “Nigish” Wesley. When their previous band 4th Reich disbanded, they rose from the ashes with an idea to form a new band that demonstrates the hardcore driving metal sound that they had in them. They brought together a lineup up phenomenal talented musicians that have the same drive and love for that “in your face” metal. They are, Stevie Ray on Lead/Rhythm Guitar and Vocalist Dustin “Wh0reable” Reese, with Backup Vocals from Jae “Jables” Geddis. The band is most influenced by the groups Slayer, DevilDriver and Lamb of God. Together they achieve that incomparable sound that is Crimson Reign.
Crimson Reign has recently been dominating the Kansas City metal scene with a number of performances at renowned local venues such as The Uptown Theatre, The Riot Room, The Beaumont Club, And Harrah's Voo-Doo Lounge. Some of their accomplishments include: Winner of Metal Wars 2nd Stage Showdown – May 2009, Opener for Metal Wars 2 Main Stage – May 2009, and Opener for nationally renowned group Vadimvon at The Riot Room – August 2009. Crimson Reign is notorious for their volatile, extreme rage performances, and unpredictable live sets.
