It was around the creepy time of 2001’s Halloween that four musicians from the city of Cologne summoned the darkest parts in their souls to haunt the world of the living as a band that shall be known as THE CRIMSON GHOSTS.
Today THE CRIMSON GHOSTS already released four full length albums namely “Leaving the tomb” the critically acclaimed follow up “Carpe Mortem” the third masterpiece “Dead eyes can see” and their latest bloodletting called “Generation Gore”. In 2009 there also was a 7” vinyl split EP called “Sharing prey” containing an early version of “The bodybag” (Later found on “Generation Gore”) and a cover version of US horrorpunks DieMonsterDie called “October slowly dying” limited to 666 pcs.
THE CRIMSON GHOSTS quickly established themselves as the heaviest band in Horrorpunk although they are very melodic. Especially strong vocals, diversity, the ability to create mind-ripping, songs as well as spooky, catchy ballads and a sound that is absolutely incomparable and self-contained make THE CRIMSON GHOSTS one of the top bands in Horrorpunk. Right now the band is concentrating on writing material for the fifth album which should be released in 2017.

This Glasgow band is less straightforward or formulaic than many others currently treading the '80s post-punk path. These songs are winged. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 22, 2017
Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 31, 2024
