The Crimea’s much anticipated second album, ‘Secrets Of The Witching Hour,’ is available to download for free now.
In the unprecedented move, the London based band have made their complete album available for fans to download for free ahead of its physical release, on June 4th.
The band hope that the increased exposure of the free release will boost their live audiences and merchandise sales at gigs, and so create a new avenue of income.
