We sat down with vocalist Sini and guitarist Joni from Crimson Sun to talk about their new album ‘Sorrowbreaker’, out today, and how they did things a bit differently, resulting in a “lighter” album in the sense of somewhat breaking with the sorrow and shining a bright light, encouraging you to stop and enjoy life! Be sure to check out this great new album if you’re looking for some nice melodic heavy metal with a modern touch!
