Info:

The band was originally formed under the name Pierced Arrow in 1979, before changing name to Beowulf in 1982 and finally Crimson Glory in 1983. Ben Jackson and Dana Burnell were the only recognised Crimson Glory members to feature in the original line-up, which also included Tony Lee Wise on vocals, Bernardo Hernandez on guitars and Glen Barnhardt on bass. Jeff Lords took Barnhardt's place briefly before departing to be replaced with John Colemorgan and then later rejoining again. A guitarist briefly preceded Jon Drenning as replacement for Hernandez, and Wise was replaced by Mark Ormes before the band found Midnight in 1983.Shortly after becoming Crimson Glory, the members wore full-face silver masks onstage and in promo photos. Following the release of the debut album these were toned down to smaller half-face masks and then were abandoned after the touring for "Transcendence." Ben Jackson and Dana Burnell both quit Crimson Glory at this point, heralding a shift in the band's direction to a more commercial hard rock sound.Midnight quit the band following the release of "Strange and Beautiful" and after the rest of the band completed their tour dates with David Van Landing on vocals they split up. A brief reunion with Wade Black on vocals came and went in the late 90s to early 2000s before they split up again. Jon Drenning and Jeff Lords went on to form Crush with David Van Landing and then Erotic Liquid Culture, both of which also featured Ravi Jakhotia.The 'classic' line-up agreed a reunion near the end of 2005 - former touring drummer Jesse Rojas was also re-hired to provide additional percussion and vocals onstage. Midnight, however, was replaced by Wade Black for the second time at the beginning of 2007 following substance abuse problems that led to him being arrested for drunk driving (with a suspended license, no less). A new album called ''Metatron, Lucifer and the Divine Chaos'' had been planned but this was shelved after the collapse of Black Lotus Records.Midnight died at the age of 47 in July 2009. The band played a tribute show at the ProgPower USA X festival with eighteen vocalists, including Black, Van Landing and Todd La Torre, who was later hired to be the band's full time vocalist. La Torre quit in 2013 due to frustrations with the band's lack of activity.A rough demo track featuring La Torre called "Garden of Shadows" was made available for online streaming in 2012, but was not officially released.

Album:

The self titled debut album and the follow-up 'Transcendence' - by Metal Mind Productions, both remastered for the first time using 24-Bit process on golden disc, including bonus tracks and presented in a deluxe digipak limited to numerated 2000 copies.Crimson Glory emerged on the '80s metal scene as quite a phenomenon, delivering a groundbreaking mixture of glam and traditional metal with a progressive twist to it. Their debut album “Crimson Glory” from 1986 has brought them a huge acclaim from specialized press and fans of the genre, to whom they would refer to as The Crimson Militia. The music in “Crimson Glory” is, as is the case with most metal bands, based around the guitar work of Jon Drenning, and the unique, outstanding vocals of Midnight (real name: John Patrick Jr. McDonald). Midnight's vocals go from high-pitched and wailing to twisted and "insane" in the blink of an eye. Always powerful, never missing a note, often compared with the young Geoff Tate (Queensryche).But all the musicians in Crimson Glory are amazingly talented. The band had their own sound from get go, and with great production on their debut album, they had a strong and very professional send-off. Imagine, if you will, music that is both melancholic, emotional, and powerful, heavy at the same time. There is even hints of futuristic touches, and some mystical aura.This 'mystery' was reinforced by the band's image; in an era of sound-and-lookalike metal bands, Crimson Glory's goal was to be immediately identifiable from the others, so they wore full-face metallic silver masks. They used them on-stage, as well as for all photo shoots and public appearances. Vocalist Midnight was the exception to this, as his mask left his mouth uncovered to be able to deliver his acrobatic vocal performances.“Crimson Glory” is absolutely one of the best metal / melodic / progressive albums ever released and an '80s milestone from the genre.The songwriting is varied, always captivating, surprising, and all of the arrangements very well thought through. The album’s success was not surprising – the unique collaboration of heavy, yet melodic tight dual-lead guitars, brilliant drumming and amazing vocals brought a true masterpiece onto the metal soil.This Metal Mind reissue delivers a superb digitally remastered job, giving all the instruments a clear and present space in the sound picture. Added to this digipak is also the bonus track 'Dream Dancer', previously only available as a single B-side.Essential in your collection.
