Crimson Glory

Digitally remastered edition of this 1986 album. Crimson Glory formed as early as 1982, but it took until 1986 for their self-titled debut album to be released. The band initially drew much media attention because of their mysterious silver masks, but they had an astoundingly powerful vocalist in the enigmatic Midnight and in guitarists Jon Drenning and Ben Jackson, a team capable of supplying excellent harmonies and truly beautiful melodic lines. These talents were made evident on classic metal anthems like "Angels of War" and the epic "Heart of Steel". Crimson Glory are as good as American metal gets - witness the driving "Dragon Lady" and the absolute classic "Azrael" for proof. Ultimately, "Crimson Glory" is a very fine album that has withstood the test of time much better than you'd expect.
