The founding members Louie, Anthony and Diane first crossed paths in the winter of 1997, where Louie auditioned for a band that Anthony and Diane were in called "Crystal Chamber."
Although being impressed with Louie's vocal abilities, it wasn’t meant to be – as another opportunity had arisen for Louie, who went to pursue and work in a Bon Jovi tribute band.
15 months later – in the spring of 1998 – after listening to Bruce Dickinson’s chemical wedding and not working in a tribute band anymore – Louie's aspirations turned to form a metal band. Having remembered the musical abilities and professional attitudes of Anthony and Diane, Louie was curious to what they were currently up to.
So after all that time – Louie contacted Anthony, mistakenly asking for Simon, and a meeting was arranged with Anthony and Diane. They quickly clicked on a musical and personal level and began discussing their intentions of forming a metal band, as well our musical style /direction.
In the next few months the name was created and the first four Crimsonfire songs were written – as well as the introduction of bass player Paul, who answered one of our adverts and undertook an unusual audition process – by auditioning us.
Having liked the band and the band liking his abilities – it was a go ahead, Pauly was an ex- covers bassist and now a bass played for a metal band, leaving the painful task of finding a great drummer- and a great drummer we did find.
Long time friend and former band mate of Anthony – drummer Dominic (who had just departed from a metal band in Melbourne) was introduced to Crimsonfire. Having being impressed with his drumming abilities and Dom displaying keen interest in the bands direction / style – Crimsonfire were more than happy have Dom as the new drummer, and by the winter of 1999 Crimsonfire was a full line up.
"Finding a line up with all members having the same attitude of professionalism , is probably harder than winning a lottery ticket – as five of us may have learned at some point early in our music careers.
In December 2008, Paul was replaced by Damian "Omad" and the band went straight back to working on their second full length album.
In Crimsonfire there is no bullshit / or egos - but five people pursuing a passion they believe in"- says Louie.
A New Dawn
Crimsonfire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know they say, when the winter falls
The night will come and stay
Now two thousand years have passed us by
And the sun sets to rise again
On Volterra, the ice it breaks away
Let me tell you a tale, of power and majesty
That turn to dark but broken by love
Driven to the edge of the world
Let me tell you a tale
How the night came across the sea
The innocence of sanity was taken that day
Hope and pray for the night to go away
Tears from the heavens, now they fall
[Chorus]
And the dreams of yesterday
Wait for tomorrow
At the end of time
The dreams of yesterday
Wait for tomorrow
At the gates of Volterra
Let me tell you tale, of power and majesty
Eternal resurrection granted by the hand of God
Paradise lost but now is found
Up from the ashes we now rise
The lyrics to "A New Dawn" by Crimsonfire tell the story of a mythical city called Volterra, which has been blanketed in a long winter for two thousand years. However, hope arrives in the form of a sunrise that breaks the ice and leads to a rebirth of the city. The lyrics also allude to the themes of power, majesty, love, and resilience.
The chorus of the song speaks to the idea of holding onto one's dreams and hopes, even in the darkest of times, as they wait for a new day to arrive. The lyrics suggest that this new day is on the horizon, particularly with the help of divine intervention that leads to an "eternal resurrection" and the city's triumphant rise "up from the ashes."
The themes present in "A New Dawn" are largely ones of hope, faith, and perseverance. The lyrics suggest that even in times of great darkness, it is possible to find renewal and redemption, particularly with a little help from above.
