Crimson Thorn was signed to Atomic Records and released their first full length CD, Unearthed, in 1994.
Paul Jongeward left the band, and was replaced with Andy Kopesky before the release of Dissection in 1997 on the label Morphine Records.
Despite this, the band assured fans that the rest of the upcoming album would be much heavier, like their previous works.
On July 6, 2019, it was announced that Crimson Thorn would be coming out of their unofficial hiatus to play a week worth of shows in March 2020, on the Hasten Revelation Tour, alongside Broken Flesh, Abated Mass of Flesh, Taking the Head of Goliath, and Cardiac Rupture.
