about
CIRCLE: Crimson Quietus
ORIGINAL: 亡き王女の為のセプテット (Septette for a Dead Princess)
ARRANGER: Anuhi / ArmpitMaiden
VOCALS: Anuhi
Artist Commentary:
"The song is about a girl who had her parents killed at a very young age, this caused her mental trauma which randomly triggers flashbacks to what she calls a Crimson Memory, where she's forced to relive the feeling of helplessness she felt as she watched her parents get raped and slaughtered. The song deals with her struggling to live life, lashing out at the world, condemning god, and eventually killing herself.
Armpit really fucked me over on this one... Literally 3 weeks before the project is due he says. "Hey, you should make a song for the Collab!" Sure I thought, that sounds fun. How long do I have? "3 weeks. <3" So I had to learn guitar and vocals within 3 weeks..."
lyrics
Alone, I've always been alone.
No place to call my home.
My existence remains unknown.
Abandoned, by those I've loved.
Distant dreams reduced to dust.
Predestined to be forgot
Deserted, and left to rot.
These horrid scenes within my mind,
force me back.
To that fateful night I can't forget,
stained in red.
There's no escape.
There's no repression
From these crimson memories.
Mother!
Defiled like a whore.
Raped till she bled, but the sadist wanted more.
Father!
Slaughtered like a pig.
Both were left for dead, so what's left in life for me?
Why has this life,
been nothing but constant regret?
Can't retain the thoughts I've lost,
but this pain I've always had.
While other happy souls.
Are content to gawk and stare
Nobody tries to help,
because nobody fucking cares.
Mother!
Desecrated as a wench.
Drenched from head to toe, this lucky harlot drowns in sin.
Father!
Mutilated, ripped apart.
All these blood endings, bring you right back where you start.
What is this life I'm waiting for?
What is this hope I can't ignore?
Cause all I see is a gruesome fate.
Tempting me to the brink of the blade.
Where is this god you all adore?
Where is this light I'm looking for?
Cause all I see are blackened skies.
Visions beckoning me to come home.
H.O.G. is an international extreme touhou metal collaborative sampler held annually every year. Featuring artists and
circles from everywhere, we promise to bring only the best arrangements possible.
Yumi Sakata is one of the most exciting projects within the modern Touhou Metal scene! Their clear urge to push boundaries, and push Touhou composition in places it's never been before is amazing. Holmgang Ov Gensokyo
The Last Battalion is by far a completely underrated, yet over-qualified arranger within the scene. Their fusion of modern 8-string djent, mixed in with fantastic production does wonders for your ears Holmgang Ov Gensokyo
supported by 27 fans who also own “Crimson Memories - Crimson Quietus”
I had heard you guys' songs mixed into a few Touhou metal mixes, but Deceiver was the one that really caught my ear. I listened to it steadily on and off for about 3 days. Keep doing your thing, rock on! Will Shirley

Do you guys know that feeling when there's a giant hole in your music collection that was suddenly filled? That's what this band is, it managed to fill the void of metalcore with delicate, but powerful, soulful vocals. Absolutely a recommend listen! Nope McNopeson
