| 3.5 great | Xenorazr | October 2nd 14 |
Kings Among Men makes a great first-listen impression, offering an enticing fusion of melodeath/power metal. It's as good a foundation as any, now all that Crimson Shadows need to do is experiment with their music, since comfort becomes all too apparent, even during a first listen basis. Whether this band has a future rests on how many chances they're willing to take and whether they pay off.

Seriously, the best album I have heard this year, so far.

Crimson Shadows is basically what happens when you apply melodeath vocals to a Dragonforce ripoff band. It's all fast, epic power metal with flashy (lengthy) solos, just like Dragonforce. The significant melodeath influence makes it different enough, though, to *slightly* stand out from the band it clearly rips off. And somehow being a melodeath band actually makes Crimson Shadows much better than Dragonforce, despite being as one-dimensional and repetitive. It's epic melodic death metal with power metal harmonies and solos, and a slight epic folk metal influence. "Kings Among Men" is a very fun, albeit simple, record and I really couldn't be more pleased with it.
