The Crimson Armada

The Crimson Armada was an American metal band from Columbus, Ohio. The band initially formed in Westerville, Ohio in 2007, but after several live shows and demos, the band went on hiatus. After pressure from the local music scene, the group reformed a year later. According to Allmusic, the band has found itself "on a meteoric rise through the extreme metal world." The band's lyrics contain spiritual themes, and the band has members who are Christian. However, the band's songwriter and lead vocalist Saud Ahmed has stated that the band is not Christian, as the band has never written a song about Jesus, but has lyrics quoted from the Qur'an about God.
