“The recording and mixing of our first album, Cold Stone has been a long 2 years with lots of work, but we are happy with what we have accomplished. We saved the best 2 songs for last and are excited to share them. The album is released a year later than we had expected, but life happens and you press on.”
The band also just reported the following: “We would like to welcome Daniel Willsmore to the drums and additional vocals! 2 weeks until we hit the studio!”
Album review quote:
Not many bands could pull off a debut album this strong…actually most established bands would be happy to have an album this strong in their catalog. Cruentis have provided us with a bit of a different view of melodic death metal in several different forms and yet at the same time the songs have familiar elements to them that will keep the listener’s interest.
