Crimson Day announces new drummer!
Juhani Ikonen has been announced to be the new official member of the band. The talented drummer joined Crimson Day first as a session drummer to record the drums for the upcoming third album. After the rehearsals and recordings went so well, the band welcomed Juhani as a new official member.
"I was up for new winds to blow in my musical career and Crimson Day appeared just in the spot. I got invited to play the drums for the upcoming album. Crimson Day turned out to be very nice and professional group of cool guys and our sessions went so well that I ended up being assigned to the band's official roster." says Juhani Ikonen.
Juhani has been playing in multiple bands before. The bands vocalist Milka and the new drummer have also been playing together several years ago."It's awesome to get to play with Juhani again, he was certainly the best choice for Crimson Day". The recordings of the third album are currently ongoing, with the drums already recorded. The band is super excited to get back on stage soon with some new songs and a new drummer!

CRIMSON DAY LOOKING FOR A BOOKING AGENT AND OTHER STUFF
AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS has been out for a couple of months now! If you haven’t already gotten your hands on the album, do it now! Also to help us out, go ahead and follow us on Instagram and Facebook (@crimson.day.band) and in Spotify.
The spring tour, nicknamed “At the Stages of Madness” is now finished! We had a great time and visited so many awesome places, met so many incredible people and drank so many beers! Thank you all who supported us by coming to our shows and buying our merchandise. We are now taking the summer off and returning to the stages in August. During the summer we hope to write a lot of great new material, start planning our next moves (European tour maybe?), and look for a label and a producer for the next album. The wheel keeps on turning…
To the point: We are currently looking for a booking agent to help us on our future tours and to take us to the next level. The person we are looking for is professional and motivated, and shows genuine interest to Crimson Day. Our goal is to go bigger, better and wider. In addition to Finnish venues, we want to expand our shows abroad, so the person we're looking for has experience in booking shows in Europe as well.
Crimson Day has been an active live band for its entire existence. In the last year we've achieved many milestones, such as our first foreign show in Berlin, and a full Finnish tour this winter/spring. Since our formation in 2013 we've played over 60 shows, half of those during the last two years. Until now we've booked our own shows with relatively good success, but to sell even more shows in different venues we need a person with the knowledge, time, resources and networks to make it happen. We strive to progress and growth as a band, and getting a professional booking agent to cooperate with us is a natural step in moving forward.
If interested, please contact us via Facebook or e-mail: crimsonday@crimsonday.com. Also, if you know someone who might be interested, please let them know.
STAY HEAVY!
With best regards, Crimson Day

Greetings, fellow Crimsonites!
After the warm and spectacular reception of Beasts of Prey, Crimson Day is once again ready to release brand new material! This brand new song is called My Last Rites. Born from the pencil of Ari, this new baby presents a heavier edge of Crimson Day, with a more thrashy vibe and heavier riffs than you might be used to. The video to this masterpiece was directed and co-written by a visual media visionary (and a good friend) Jyri Hiltunen, and filmed at Aris hometown Juupajoki. We also had the pleasure of “murdering” a talented young actor Heli Rantala with a dramatic effect. Go and check the video out, you can find the video right here on our website or in YouTube. The song will be available on Spotify and other streaming platforms shortly. About our future plans: For the rest of the year Crimson Day will be staying out of stages and focusing on writing new material. The spring of 2017 will be filled with as much gigs as we can handle, so be sure to stay tuned for our latest news right here on this website or from our Facebook-page. The next chance to see Crimson Day live will be at Bar15, Seinäjoki on 20.1.2017. News about our upcoming releases can be expected sometime during early 2017. So, listen to the song, see the video, stay tuned and most importantly: stay heavy.
With best regards, Crimson Day
