Crime – Cold Air 2025

After CRIME kept us waiting 27 years for their last album “Master Of Illusion”, many thought it was just a flash in the pan. In 2025, just three years later, the band proved us wrong with their new album “Cold Air”! CRIME was founded in the good old 90s and hails from the Swabian town of Geislingen an der Steige.

They quickly released two CDs, of which over 5,000 copies were sold. The band even built up a loyal fan base in Japan. The song “Get Out Of This Jail” was part of the playlist at Rockfabrik Ludwigsburg for years and is still a permanent fixture at many metal parties today. Fast Forward: After the respectable success of “Master Of Illusion” and the successful shaking off of the patina formed by the long break, “Cold Air” with its 14 new songs aims to put the band in the fast lane and catapult them back into the limelight. Whether hard or soft – CRIME still master the art of creating captivating and catchy songs. Riffs and beats characterize the groove and make room for melodic hooks and gripping vocals. With a lot of passion and craftsmanship, the band still delivers unmistakable rock and metal anthems as well as emotional songs that touch the heart. A true feast for all lovers of groove-oriented heavy rock. Produced, mixed and mastered by Andy Kemmer, who also played bass on the album, “Cold Air” also shines with a fat sound that puts the songs even more in the spotlight! Release Date. 26 Sep 2025
