Mysterious Spanish quintet Crimson Coven have arrived with their triumphant first full-length, -I- The Forge, a stout, time-honored collection of true metal anthems in the spirit of early Candlemass, Manowar and Mercyful Fate! Spanish metal outfit Crimson Coven released its debut demo, -0- The Genesis, in 2025. The demo was issued covertly. No pre-release hype. No warning. Instead, -0- The Genesis fulfilled Crimson Coven's initial promise of simply letting the music do the talking. The demo featured four songs expertly crafted in the mold of early Candlemass, Manowar and Mercyful Fate--with prevailing swaths of more recent doom entries such as Sorcerer, Argus and Atlantean Kodex. The nine songs assembled across -I- The Forge are lavished with atmosphere and darkness, honoring Crimson Coven's own 'Spell-Forged Heavy Metal' tag that is no doubt sure to appear on the back of t-shirts. Atmosphere is core to the band's sound--it permeates across the eponymous 'Crimson Coven' and the sprawling, twin-guitar-driven 'Lockheed Electra.' And unlike many of their true metal brethren, Crimson Coven go headlong into rapturous mid-tempo anthems that are tailor-made for headbanging and festival sing-a-longs. Case in point: The epic 'The Birth of the Serpent' and 'Crowns of Greed.' Closing it all up in glorious fashion is 'Unleash the Kraken,' a melody-wielding and triumphant true metal epic for the ages. Adding to that is the album's cover, which was created by Misanthropic Art--symbolizing corrupt worldly power.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eThe Forge (intro)\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eCrimson Coven\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eSacrament Of Shame\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Birth Of The Serpents\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLockheed Electra\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eChildren Of The Same Sun\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eCrowns Of Greed\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eCold Dawn Arrives\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eUnleash The Kraken\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cruz Del Sur\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45:38 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11\/06\/26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8032622211719\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"CRUZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50517869199609,"sku":"CRUZ171","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/crimson-coven-i-the-forge-cd","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
