"We are very excited to be signing to Metal Blade it's as if a dream has come true for all of us. We are VERY fortunate to be on a label with many bands that we have grown up listening to. The only label we never thought we would be on is the label that we are now signed to haha. We want to thank the entire metal blade staff especially Brian Slagel and Mike Faley for their interest in us. It is a HUGE blessing for something of this magnitude to come to us at our age. We can only thank God for his grace upon us. We will be doing some touring here soon and recording November 1st-20th at The Foundation in Connersville, Indiana. Thank you!" The Crimson Armada

Heavy Metal; a form of music that's been around for decades. While some argue that Heavy Metal is a sacrilegious and blasphemous lifestyle expressed in the form of art; Westerville , Ohio 's The Crimson Armada have set out to prove otherwise. Starting in early 2007, The Crimson Armada came together to go beyond just playing metal by paying tribute to various forms of the heavy style combining their diverse influences and their spiritual messages encrypted within the lyrics. Something that fans who choose to look into the deeper meaning of the lyrics will find uplifting all whilst experiencing The Crimson Armada's truly heavy style of playing.
Just months after landing their first show, a slot opening for Dead to Fall and As Blood Runs Black, The Crimson Armada kicked it into high gear by recording various demos and sharing the stage with acts such as The Black Dahlia Murder, Catherine, It Prevails, and playing various clubs in Ohio . Shows and recording came to a halt when the group announced a hiatus at the end of 2007 and a farewell show was put together.
After demands from various supporters of the band and the local music scene, The Crimson Armada decided to end their hiatus and announced their reformation and plans to record their first EP Behold the Architect (recorded with Bobby Leonard of Paper Tiger Studios in early 2008). A comeback/EP release show was booked in April of 2008 and the group was welcomed back to their city with open arms. "A day will come when the dead will rise up from the earth" howled vocalist Saud Ahmed quoting the track 'Revelations' off the band's EP Behold the Architect. So is it coincidence or what lies ahead? Time for you to decide.
While many Metal and Death Metal bands of today have a strong focus on sacrilegious and blasphemous matters with an obsession for gore, The Crimson Armada look to be an exception to this rule. The Crimson Armada does this by promoting a positive spiritual message through their music and meaningful lyrics going beyond the trend of broken relationships or pure brutality. "The Crimson Armada is all about dudes just jamming, living a 100% substance free life, having a good time, and pizza. So come hang with us, eat some pizza, and check out some sick tunes."
The Crimson Armada will spend November 2008 recording their Metal Blade Records debut at The Foundation in Connersville , Indiana . Expect a spring release with heavy touring leading up to and throughout the release of full length album "Guardians".
The band's local metal and hardcore station Radio U from Westerville Ohio will be announcing plenty of updated and info regarding The Crimson Armada and their upcoming release as well as tour dates. Fans who are not in the area can tune in via the stations site http://hxc.radiou.com/.
