One band rules them all as Canadian epic power/death metallers CRIMSON SHADOWS from Toronto, ON have won the international 2013 Wacken Metal Battle. Stated on the official Wacken Metal Battle website earlier today:
“A decision has been made! The Award Ceremony of this year´s Metal-Battle is over and the winners are Crimson Shadows!
With their mix of epic death & power metal they left their competitors from almost 30 other countries behind.
Besides the desired label deal with Nuclear Blast the band also won lots of high quality endorsements from Marshall, Washburn, Markbass, Paiste, Woodbrass and Vision Backdrops.
Congratulations to the band! We are curious and are looking forward to your musical future!”
Wacken Metal Battle Canada organizer JJ Tartaglia comments:
“I’m honoured that CRIMSON SHADOWS have taken the title here at Wacken. It’s a great accomplishment for the band and for Wakcen Metal Battle Canada. We have great metal music to show the world and this is a big step towards proving that.”
In additional news, upon returning from the Wacken Metal Battle international finals, CRIMSON SHADOWS with VESPERIA will hit the trans-Canada Highway from Southern Ontario to Victoria, British Columbia and back in stoic determination to bring their epic metal assault Canada-wide for their WESTERN CRUSADE CANADIAN TOUR.
