Crimson Scarlet – “Sanctuary / Two Kinds of Red” – [Cool Summer Records]

2011 debut release from female fronted goth punk / death rock malcontents out of Santa Barbara. Driving, catchy yet dark and moody music set to distant vocals echoing a purely dismal view of humanity and hoping for the worst. Who knew Santa Barbara could produce something so cold and bleak… They seem to be sick of the shamelessly shallow world they’re all condemned to, and I’m glad to hear about it!
