Music and lyrics

Krimson Creek is a more personal work than The Harvest , with songs inspired by events from Boondox' life, including an incident in which his uncle tried to kill him by drowning him in a swimming pool, getting into fights at his school and experiments with drugs. The final track, "Death of a Hater", was inspired by negative reactions to his music. "I’ve read things where I’ve had people say, 'I hate him. I hope he dies. I hope his kids die' [...] I pretty much wrote a song about what I would do to those people." [4]

Reception

Allrovi wrote, "For lovers of gore-drenched rap-rock, KRIMSON CREEK will satisfy." [1]

The album peaked at number 1 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers, number 13 on the magazine's Top Independent Albums chart, and number 113 on the Billboard 200. [5]
