Crimson Day unveils dark new single & video “Hexed”

Crimson Day returns with “Hexed“, a dark, driving heavy metal track built around powerful vocals, crushing riffs, and the kind of occult atmosphere that gets under your skin. Equal parts hypnotic and relentless, it’s a song that demands your attention from the first beat of the witchdrum to the final note. Infectious hooks, powerful melodies, ferocious intensity, and a brooding curse that won’t let you go.

“Hexed” follows the successful release of “False Prophet” and serves as the next chapter leading toward the release of the full-length album “Dark Dimension”, due for release on 22 May 2026.

Crimson Day founded in 2013 in Tampere and has spent over a decade forging their own lane within the heavy metal landscape. They blend the timeless power of classic heavy metal with a broad sweep of genre influences, wrapped in dark intensity, high-octane energy, and sharp, soaring melody.

The band’s story began with a self-titled EP in 2013, followed by their debut full-length “Order of the Shadows” (2015). They expanded their sonic vision on “At the Mountains of Madness” (2018) before returning with the bold, self-titled “Crimson Day” in 2023. A pivotal lineup shift in 2020 introduced new frontwoman Milka Uusitalo, ushering in a reinvigorated era. They marked by standout singles including “Raising the Fury” and “Black as the Heavens Above”. In addition to bold, genre-defying covers of “Immigrant Song,” “Holding Out for a Hero,” and “Objection (Tango)” that further demonstrated the band’s dynamic range.

Now, with Dark Dimension on the horizon, Crimson Day is stepping into their most ambitious chapter yet. Here the cover art of the upcoming album available on May.

With nearly 100 live shows across Finland and Europe, sharing stages with Sonata Arctica, Turmion Kätilöt, Turisas, Reckless Love, and Korpiklaani, and international performances spanning the Baltics, Germany, and Sweden, the band has built a reputation as a formidable live force. Their music has earned global radio airplay, and their YouTube catalog has surpassed 100,000 views.
