I don't know why this crimson raven deserves to have hymns dedicated to it, and without any lyrical exploration I'll just have to be unsatisfied. Thankfully that doesn't really matter as the music speaks for itself - it's melodically rich, has a satisfying range of rhythmic approaches, and while it's only 29 minutes long, this time is used very effectively. Hymns of the Crimson Raven is produced by Angel Vivaldi, and even musically it holds a lot of the same melodic elements that he too likes to utilise - and I'm here for it. This is a solid album, and if you're an instrumental metal kind of person, this will be an easy addition to your playlists.
