New years greetings - New Bass player
Author: Webmaster
Hi everyone. As we close on another year, from all of us in Crimsonfire, we would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year!
It's been a while since our last update and there has been some recent changes... After 9 years of being with the band, Crimsonfire has had to let go of Bass Player Paul Yoannidis due to personal reasons. As some of you already know, it has been an extremely difficult process in finding a new Bass Player, but after 4 months and numerous Bass auditions, we finally found our man! So on behalf of Crimsonfire, we would like to welcome Damian Brede into the band. OMAD, as he likes to be called, has been playing Bass for over 13 years, has played in numerous local bands and most definitely has the experience and capabilities. We're currently working closely with OMAD to get him up to speed with the new tracks and we're completing 3 more new songs to add to our eagerly anticipated 2nd Album. Having completed Pre-Production tracks for Album No.2, we are well on our way to booking official Recording dates for the entire Album in early 2009 with plans to have both local and international guest musicians.
It has been a fresh new start for us, and with this comes a fresh new look, so check out our new band photos on our photo gallery page and get ready guys coz it won't be too long before Crimsonfire will be back burning up the stage again!!!

New album tracklist revealed!
Author: Louie
Hello to everyone in the world of Metal, glad to be back.
I guess you are probably wondering, why we haven't shown our faces for the last... well, lets see... oh, eight months...
Here are ten good reasons why:
- Embrace The Night
- Last Horizon
- The Reason Remains
- Winter Storm
- Secrets
- Silent Rain
- Oceans Collide
- Seasons of The Sun
- Lies Within
- Echoes Through Eternity
In no particular order, and titles subject to change, we present to you the official track listing for Crimsonfire's second album.
It's been an extremely busy year for us all to date, professionally and personally.
We are currently finalising and drawing conclusion to our writing
sessions, and we will shortly commence our pre production recording
sessions. Official recording sessions will follow shortly after that.
...but in the meantime, some other exciting news...
Special announcement:
'A very impressive album'
Bruce Dickinson, IRON MAIDEN.
That's right, you read it correctly...
Our debut album, into the hands of Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, one of the greatest voices in metal, that's cool!
As you may or may not know, but between his solo / Maiden and pilot commitments, Bruce Dickinson hosts his own weekly Friday night rock show in London.
Featuring bands from all over the world, Bruce plays an array of new and classic rock/Metal tunes, including interviews with your favourite Rock/Metal artists.
On the 10th August 2007, Bruce Dickinson introduced Crimsonfire, to his listeners, on the Friday night rock show, by playing the opening track of their debut album 'ETERNAL DAYS' and dubbing their debut album - very impressive.
Unfortunately due to copyright laws, we are unable to provide a sample of the recording of the show, but you may view the shows track listing for that day on this link.
'To be acknowledged by greatness is one thing, but to be acknowledged by having an impressive album, is an honour.
This is definitely one of the greatest moments in our music careers'
Louie.
Crimsonfire greatly thanks Kathryn and all at Smooth operations, for giving us the opportunity to be on the Friday night Rock Show, and a big thank you to Bruce Dickinson for the kind words, introducing the band, playing our song and appreciating our album, it will be treasured and immortalized in our hearts forever, thank you.
Click on this image to tune into, the coolest Rock Shows - enjoy!
NOTE: For Australian fans to listen live,
tune in on Saturdays 7:00am-10:00am EST

Seasons greetings - Debut album success
Author: Webmaster
We have a new review online for you, and here is a statement from the band:
Hi everyone, hope you all had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.
As we await the New Year, we draw closer towards the end of what has been a successful year and a very interesting journey for CRIMSONFIRE.
It began with our newly released debut album being recognised within Australia and around the world by the magazines, fanzines and radio stations - giving the album excellent reviews that we had hoped we would achieve.
This would also bring a world wide interest in CRIMSONFIRE, gaining fans from all around the world, earning the band respect and its place in the metal world - 2006 had proven that CRIMSONFIRE are in for the long haul, and a band that is here to stay.
This was followed by countless interviews both within Australia and overseas, working with and supporting local communities, being involved in underage festivals,
Working alongside local and international metal bands.
2006 gave us the opportunity to officially launch our debut album to our home crowd in Melbourne which was one of the biggest highlights of the year for us - not to mention being chosen to support international metal sensations QUEENSRYCHE.
The year to date has been fantastic and has exceeded all our expectations, we feel very fortunate of our achievements and wouldn't have done it without the following:
We wish to thank everyone for making 2006 an unforgettable year and the above possible, starting with all our families and loved ones, all the international/local press, magazines, fanzines, newspapers, journalists, radio stations, DJ's, venues, all local and international bands we shared the stage with, basically everyone who has helped us along the way to get to where we are now - especially the fans who have believed in our dream, we thank you...
The last few months we have been brainstorming ideas and have ended the year with brand new tracks for a 2 nd album, we plan to re group early 2007 to complete our writing sessions - as we plan to begin recording sometime mid 2007.
2006 was a big year - we hope to make 2007 even bigger!
Cheers, and have a safe new year.
LOUIE, DOM, ANTH, DI & PAULY.

Hi everyone, on behalf of all the guys in

Your support means a lot to us and we look
