Crimson Veil revealed the single & video 'Awake'
UK dark occult alternative metal band CRIMSON VEIL have unveiled their new single, ‘Awake,’ a dramatic, emotional, and grandiose track from their debut album “Hex,” set for release on September 20, 2024 via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM). ‘Awake’ explores themes of grief and hopelessness, likened to a stormy sea growing increasingly intense and violent until its end.

“‘Awake’ is about carrying someone through the water and drowning slowly…it made total sense to shoot the video by the sea. It was shot at sunrise and its was freezing cold! I think you can see how challenging the whole thing was and that only adds to the tension. The drone shots only add to the bleak atmosphere and the feeling of loneliness,” explain the band.
“Hex” promises to engulf the senses with its dark visual aesthetic and a musical style that challenges conventional notions of metal. Lead singer Mishkin Fitzgerald, who received much of her musical training in church, draws inspiration from hymns, classical music, and later, rock and metal.
For their world debut, this four-piece joined LORDI on their “Unliving Pictour Show.” Dressed as deities of light and darkness, CRIMSON VEIL transform the stage into a sinister tableau of flowers, thorns, and animal skulls. Their live performances, described as “ritualistic, even shamanic,” blend fragile beauty with fierce energy, immersing the audience in the unearthly world of CRIMSON VEIL.
