Crimson Tower - Aeternal Abyss Review

Crimson Tower – Aeternal Abyss Review: A Heavy/Doom Metal band from Brazil. On October 1st, 2021, Crimson Tower independently released their latest studio album, Aeternal Abyss, which would gratify fans of Black Sabbath, Candlemass, Pagan Altar, and Pentagram

Crimson Tower – Aeternal Abyss Review opens and discusses the FIRST SIN: THE STRINGS/KEYS. Which consists of crushing rhythmic heavy/doom riffage/multi-chord passages all drape in a traditional/old-school manner, heavy-sabbath bass riffs.

Let’s talk about the SECOND SIN: THE VOCALS, which involves Epicus Doomicus vocals.

Moving on to the THIRD SIN: THE PERCUSSIONS, which delves into the vast world of heavy and crushing beats and patterns.

In our following discussion about the band’s musical work, we will focus on the FOURTH SIN, the overall DISCUSSION of the album. Immediately after the listener presses that play button, one is welcomed to the opening track, ETERNAL ABYSS, which welcomes the listener with this old-school sound of rhythmic-crushing riffs/beats & doomy vocals.

Following suit with the second track, SACRIFICIAL WITCH, and the remaining five pieces, where AETERNAL ABYSS captures a sound of traditional/old-school heavy/doom metal within their music – this is like discovering a lost vinyl (from the ’70s/’80s) found in a dusky treasure chest, buried in an ancient crypt and left to rot.

Simultaneously, CRIMSON TOWER sounds like it came from the early days of doom metal, not today’s musical times.

AETERNAL ABYSS creates and captures the soul essences of inspired bands like BLACK SABBATH, CANDLEMASS, PAGAN ALTAR, PENTAGRAM, and THE OBSESSED -thus creating (mentioned above) this overwhelming magical and mystical sound/music of traditional/old-school heavy/doom metal which is provided and delivered by top-notch devilmanship, six equally solid, strongly composed songs and music

Songs and music consist of compositions such as heavy (Epicus/doomy) crushing riffage, bluesy vibe-solos, medieval acoustic clean sections, various tempos/moods, scorching hot solos, head-nodding moments, solid and robust vocals (with a hint of BRUCE DICKINSON buried with the vocal pipes), crushing/pounding of drumming, polished sound/production.

A true classic, a must for fans of traditional/old-school (epic) heavy/doom metal – while taking the listener on a robust and epic (darker) dungeon-crawling lyrical theme on Witchcraft and occultism.

I wanted to share our thoughts and MEMORABILIA on the FIFTH SIN. From the moment of the play until the end – everything is fantastic, the devilmanship, the sound, the music, lyrical themes, and track names – all drape in an old-school heavy/doom metal atmosphere

Let’s discuss the ARTWORK of the SIXTH SIN. Captures the art style of PAGAN ALTAR and PENTAGRAM.

Finally, the review will close with the last sin, the SEVENTH SIN, the DISRELISH, and the closing piece WORD WAR III. With nothing to disrelish within the musical world of CRIMSON TOWER, we can move on with the closing piece, which provides an audio clip (taking from (a guess?) a ‘40 cinema cartoon/film score) intro before rounding off and finishing off with one more round of traditional/old-school heavy/doom for the listener’s ears. This concludes the Crimson Tower – Aeternal Abyss Review
