CRIMSON GLORY

Crimson Glory is mostly a power metal band, or even better one of the founding bands of the genre in the United States of America. Nothing close to euro-power metal that is. I have always found several progressive stuff in their music, so I would say it is a progressive band as well. As for this album, it is one of the most amazing debout album in metal history. Amazing guitar work with extraordinary solos and the 80's feeling that accompanies most of their former work, with a bizzare touch of the whole mystery behind the band, with their masks on and so on. The band's lead singer Midnight is one of the best metal singers that have ever stepped on this planet, with an amazing range of high piched vocals, often compared to Queensryche's Jeoff Tate but quite better if your ask my opinion, with an epic colour in his voice. All tracks of the album are really amazing, with some outstanding, like Heart of Steel, Azrael and the crippiest metal song ever, Lost Reflection, a composition by Midnight and a creepy and strange story behind it.
