Crimson Cult

CRIMSON CULT is an Austrian power metal band formed around former Stygma IV members G?nter Maier and Alex Hilzensauer. After the split of Stygma IV, G?nter and Alex always stayed in close contact and never lost the joy of playing music together. With Peter Bachmayer and Walter Stuefer they now found the right musicians for bringing their musical ideas to the point. From stygmaesque power metal to high speed parts and doom parts as well Crimson Cult reflects the preferred music of G?nter and Alex.
