Enkele Nederlandse reviews:

AARDSCHOK(Hardrock & Heavy Metal Magazine, Holland)

Het Belgische Crimson Falls wordt door platenmaatschappij Shiver omschreven als 'modern death metalcore', en dat klopt precies. Hoewel de invloeden van brute US death metal (onder andere Morbid Angel) duidelijk naar voor komen, staat de jonge band toch stevig met beide benen in 2006. Dat heeft geresulteerd in een erg afwisselend album, waarop welliswaar driftig met breaks en tempowisselingen gestrooid wordt, maat toch ook opvallend evenwichtig klinkt. Bovendien zorgt de moddervette productie ervoor dat de echte death metalfan hier zeker raad mee zal weten. Ook valt op dat de mannen erg veel aandacht besteed hebben aan het artwork en de teksten. Net als in het boekje van System Of A Downs debuutalbum wordt elke tekst uitgelegd aan de hand van een korte beschrijving. Uiteenlopende onderwerpen als zelfvertrouwen, modernisering, terrorisme en WO I (vooral het gedicht van majoor McCrae uit 1915 valt in positieve zin op) passeren de revue, waardoor Crimson Falls overduidelijk een band is die iets te melden heeft. (Rudi Engel)

Score:82/100

ASICE.NET (Hardcore/Metalcore webzine, Holland)

After I reviewed their debut about a year ago, I was curious how Crimson Falls would develop. Well, I didn’t have to wait long for an answer to that question, because “The True Face Of Human Nature” is already here! After the intro you’ll remember what Crimson Falls was all about right away: full blown metal. Or more specifically: melodic death metal, metalcore and thrash metal. All of these elements combined resulted in this album. The people at the CCR Studio made sure that the technical skills of the musicians came out right in the production and mix, so no worries there. Even though the music is aggressive as hell, the lyrics show the social and cultural awareness of the band. Liner notes accompany every song to explain the deeper meaning behind it all and it really gives you insight into the collective mindset of Crimson Falls. If it’s possible, I would say that “The True Face Of Human Nature” is even more metal than “Ruins 2K5”, but that’s also up to you to decide. Check it out if you like some metal every now and then. (David)

Score: 3,5/5

LORDS OF METAL (Metal E-Zine, Holland)

Het avontuur van Crimson Falls begon ergens in 2002, toen deze op poten werd gezet door de gitaristen Kristof Damen (ex-Unbound NC en Amain) en Ringo Van Dingenen en drummer Sigi Loots. Laatstgenoemden kenden elkaar van hun samenspel in de groepen Outrage en Reller. Een zanger werd gevonden in ene Wim Jacobs, die zijn stembanden reeds had doen trillen in de band Legion. In mei 2005 zag het eerste wapenfeit, de vijf nummers tellende MCD 'Ruins 2K5' het levenslicht. De huidige bassist heet overigens Tom Trancez (I Witness, Serial Butcher), maar op de eerste volledige CD werd de solide basis door Sven Janssens (Axamenta, Unleash The Fury) neergelegd. 'The True Face Of Human Nature' werd opgenomen, gemixt en gemasterd in de CCR studio (waar onder andere Aborted, In-Quest, Betzefer, Liar en Lengtche hen voorgingen) en braakt een drie kwartier durende kakofonie van metalcore en op Zweedse leest geschoeide death metal voort, hetgeen bij ons in de wandelgangen de weergaloze naam "deathmetalcore" heeft gekregen. Er zijn enkele gastbijdragen en wel van Svencho (Aborted) tijdens de track 'Controle Alt Delete' en XCaroX (No Recess) gedurende 'Martyr Vs. Terrorist'. Naar mijn bescheiden mening hebben de heren binnen de grenzen van het genre naar hun eigen stijl gezocht, maar ik kan het waarde lezerspubliek verzekeren dat Maroon en Terror adepten zich hieraan geen buil zullen vallen. Wat een heerlijk beukende CD is dit geworden zeg! (Jordy)

Score: 86/100

:: REVIEWS ::

Meanwhile our debut full length is getting awesome reviews.:

VAMPIRE MAGAZINE (Metal E-Zine, Holland)

In my previous review on Crimson Falls I was quite astonished about the quality and maturity of their last effort, entitled “Ruins 2K5”. I also predicted the next release would be a real killer and it seems like our Belgian friends have delivered the goods on their first full length, called “The True Face Of Human Nature”... Just after hearing the first few seconds you simply know that you are listening to a very mature and solid debut album. Crimson Falls stands for high quality deathcore which shines through in masterfully crafted compositions like “Erase All Fear”, “Controle Alt Delete”, “Martyr vs Terrorist”, “Poetry For The Scum”, “We Are The Dead” and “Book Of Memories”. Every track is a true rollercoaster of dynamics, heavy grooves and cunningly placed breaks which should make even the most demanding listener drool of sheer pleasure. The music reminds at times of fellow countrymen In-Quest, however the hardcore roots of Crimson Falls make the difference here. “The True Face Of Human Nature” has tons of dynamics and variation to offer, which, in combination with the aforementioned clever compositions, makes it a very enjoyable listening experience. The production is simply flawless, making the album a true killer. What can I say? Crimson Falls have delivered a very mature and impresse debute album, worthy of your respect and admiration. Well done, gentlemen! (Raymond Westland)

KEYS AND CHORDS(Music E-Zine, Belgium)

Crimson Falls is een redelijk nieuwe Belgische band. De band ontstond ergens in het voorjaar van 2002. De oprichters Zigi en Ringo (beide gitarist) kenden elkaar al van vorige bandjes waar ze al samen in gespeeld hebben (Outrage en Reller). Samen met Kristof (drums) (Unbound NC en Amain) zijn ze op zoek gegaan naar een geschikte zanger met dezelfde muzikale interesse. Na veel speurwerk hebben ze in Win Jacobs de geschikte zanger gevonden met wie het meteen prima klikte. De band speelt melodieuze death metal dat vaak geneigd is naar de metalcore, dus zullen we het maar deathmetalcore noemen. Het beestje moet een naam hebben, niet dan? Hun eerste release was in mei 2005, een mcd genaamd ‘Ruins 2k5’. Nu zijn ze eindelijk terug met een volwaardig album. Deze schijf beukt er een goede 45 minuten op los en na een luisterbeurt ben je klaar voor een volgende beurt want dit smaakt naar meer! Af en toe denk ik naar een Zweedse band te luisteren en vliegen er vlagen van Meshuggah langs me heen, en net als ik dat geaccepteerd heb hoor ik Maroon passeren, en hoor ik daar Crowbar niet? Je begrijpt het al, het is een cd geworden die in zijn genre alle vlakken heeft afgetast binnen het genrehokje. En zo hoort het! Het is een zeer afwisselende cd geworden met veel verschillende elementen zodat iedereen die van goede death houdt er wel iets uithaalt wat hij goed vindt. Van mij krijgen ze de volle lading van punten want dit is spekkie voor m’n bekkie! (Basil Cahuzak)

Score: 5/5
