        Right off the bat, the most noticeable factor on Crimson Dawn’s fourth
        album is the change in lead singers with Claudio Cesari coming on in
        place of Antonio Pecere. The two vocalists’ differences aren’t as
        exaggerated as it felt on first listen as both exhibit a dramatic tenor,
        but Cesari’s combination of a slightly higher range and thicker accent
        can be admittedly a little abrasive in comparison. Thankfully it’s not
        the sort of thing that’s a dealbreaker and the extra conviction in his
        delivery ultimately enhances the band’s theatrical outlook.
        Moving beyond that, It Came From The Stars essentially picks up where
        2020’s Inverno left off with the same power-doom out in full force. The
        guitars are as thick and full as ever, the rhythms remain adept at
        maneuvering shifts from doom plods to driving power metal chugs, and the
        symphonic elements maintain relentlessly exotically bombastic textures.
        I can also appreciate how the uplifting spirit can feel at odds with the
        genre’s usual brooding tendencies while hinting at something a little
        more ominous beneath the surface.
        With that, the songwriting is also tight with the band being the most in
        their element when working with a combination of slow, grandiose riffs
        and sweeping choruses. “Hunter’s Dream,” “Nera Sinfonia,” and “The
        Ringmaster” stand out the most in this regard and find ways to shake
        things up individually with slight tempo shifts and extra flourishes. As
        far as outliers go, “Fade Away” almost dips into AOR metal with its
        upbeat pacing and optimistic piano while “The Colour Out Of Space” toys
        with a couple appropriately spacey segments amidst the usual epic doom
        business.
        With the changes and other projects releasing in the three years since
        Inverno, it’s nice to see Crimson Dawn keep up the momentum with It Came
        From The Stars. The singer shift might take a bit of getting used to
        (might also just be me projecting, to be honest) but it ultimately works
        with the band’s established style. It’s tricky to tell whether I prefer
        this album or its predecessor, but the heightened character certainly
        works in its favor.
