"The best Gothic Metal ever to step its feet into the UK music scene...", "If you are a Gothic/Symphonic metal fan, this is a must from some of the UK's hottest rising bands." (Metalism.co.uk)

"The Musicianship is of the highest order in all departments...", "Putting it simply BUY or DIE!!..." (Power-Metal.co.uk)"
"They could definitely carry the banner for UK Gothic Metal. For a long time we've been waiting for someone to do just that, and maybe that time is not too far away. 7.5/10" (Sonic Cathedral)

The sound here is big – no beyond big, it's huge, full, driving. To see a band like Crimson Tears in concert it would need to be an auditorium where a symphony would be at home. If you are into classical, and want a little edge, this is for you. (Calvin Daniels www.calmardan.blogspot.com)

Origins
Back in October 2003, guitarist Dave Miller had the driving idea of forming a metal band with a difference. His desire was to develop an Operatic Symphonic Power Metal band that really rocked but that had that commercial element, Heavy hooks and memorable riffs. He wanted to base it on one of his favourite bands Nightwish but add in elements of all the other bands he loved.

The idea of bringing together opera, symphonic sound and metal was not going to be an easy project to undertake. Finding musicians who all wanted to play this kind of music was going to be even harder.

Formation

Dave knew immediately of one person who would be up for this type of project. A quick phone call to long time friend and Scarab bass player, Steve Taylor fused the beginnings.

And Steve begat Steve! This new Steve was a drummer from a prior band and he had the necessary experience and was up for it. Now all he needed was a keyboard player and some bird to warble! Even though Dave was able to play some keyboards, he could not be in two places at once and so a keyboard player would be the next essential. But where would you find one who was unique, extremely talented and versatile? When he saw an advert for a Grade 8 pianist and keyboard player called Marcus, into Ozzy, HIM and Iron Maiden, he phoned him immediately.

Now to find that singer! Well trying to find a female classical/opera singer to play in a Metal band was not going be easy, in fact almost damn right impossible........

Gina is the singing coach Steve first went to in order to find a singer! and she has been in the band ever since!

He had asked for a Charlotte Church meets Megadeth! And that is what he got! However that wasn't quite what he needed! So two auditions later, he got the actual bloody coach!

Over the course of the following year Dave, Marcus and Gina start writing and are so happy with the results that they book into Thin Ice studios (famous for Threshold, Arena and DragonForce) for December 2004.

By now it had become apparent that Drummer Steve could not commit to recording and subsequently the band, due to family pressures and already being the Drummer for 3SD!

So it was eight weeks before the recording date and no drummer!

Luckily Marcus found Mike, who was ready, willing and able as well as being really interested in both the band and recording.

THE ABSENCE OF DEATH: A CONTEMPORARY VAMPIRE NOVEL

THE ABSENCE OF DEATH: A CONTEMPORARY VAMPIRE NOVEL



Oct 4 2009 3:51 PM

Sweet darkness wash across me now, I need your warm embrace
Night music whispers in my ears,  soft hands caress my face
Your gentle touch and supple flesh are all I truly crave
The need for you will never end, it burns beyond the grave
I wake each night and find your scent, sweet perfume fills the air
The lust that burns inside me is intense beyond compare
I am a dark lord striking fear, a god who rules the night
And yet I am your willing slave and tremble at your sight
You quench the thirst I bring with me when I rise from my tomb
As we perform the ancient rite inside your moonlit room
Sharp teeth enter your aching flesh, two bodies thus unite
You feed my needs so willingly, you have no need to fight
Now close your eyes and sleep, my love as I wait by your side
And when you wake you'll be reborn as my eternal bride
