Crimfall: 'As the Path Unfolds...'

Finnish epic metal band Crimfall's debut album 'As the Path Unfolds...' will be released by Napalm Records in February/March 2009.
The band describes the album: "The music of Crimfall is eluding to describe as it wears many masks and disguises. You can hear influences of grim-frost north and its folk metal, even echoes from cold black metal in Mikko’s demonic screams and lyrics, but this all is layered with massive orchestrations and epic atmosphere that draw from legendary movie soundtracks. Indeed the album conquers the feelings of majesty and journeys lost, with melodies and angelic voice of Helena that bring forth the uncompromising feelings, contrast of the ascended light and the fallen shadow."
