Crimson Glory Crimson Glory

Crimson Glory: Midnight (vocals); Jon Drenning, Ben Jackson (guitar); Jeff Lords (bass); Dana Burnell (drums).Though they'd formed as early as 1982, it's obvious from the very first moments of Crimson Glory's 1986 self-titled debut that the band's creative enlightenment had only arrived with Queensr?che's acclaimed The Warning album, which had set a new standard for British-derived American metal the previous year. To their credit, however, Crimson Glory had a lot to offer from a musical standpoint as well. Thought they initially drew much media attention because of their mysterious silver masks, the group had an astoundingly powerful vocalist in the enigmatic Midnight (whose ear-shattering screams, much like those of Queensr?che's Geoff Tate, have become a hopeless anachronism); 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"
