I wanted to take a moment to personally say hello and to thank our all our fans around the world - both old and new - for your loyalty, patience, and support of our music over the years. We feel Todd La Torre is an amazing singer; the perfect person to continue our legacy for many years to come. I know in my heart Midnight is smiling on us and is pleased with our selection of Todd as our new lead vocalist. Continued...
@jondrenning Please get back to the music, brother! I would pay a lot of money to see the band play a gig with Todd on vocals. Y'all are local to me and it would be a dream come true.
John Patrick McDonald (RIP) will always be #1 in my heart and no one will ever come close to his greatness. I am liking this new kid though, if he gets this awesome band back on track in 2010 (and beyond) and he is a singer that takes care of himself, I am all for it. Welcome back Crimson Glory!
Todd is amazing and I'm pretty sure he's the only one who could pull this off as he was surely guided by the spirit of MIdnight to do exactly what he is doing....and I'm even more certain that Midnight would be enthralled to know that His own legacy lives on due to the astounding voice of CG's new singer...Rock ON Todd!!!!
Bloody hell!! What a fantastic singer Todd is.I didn't think you could find a vocalist which could give those songs the voice they need but feck me sideways with a broom handle you've gone and done it. Roll on next Sunday.I can't wait...damn those rubbish poundland time machines.
5 minutes before I listen to the song, I would have claim that this guy should be tested in "Burning Bridges", my personal Crimson Glory favorite. But after listening to Dragon Lady... I' M SOLD!!! GREECE LOVES AND SUPPORTS YOU. Release a good album and we'll be at your side!
no one can ever replace a vocalist especially one with the talent that Midnight had but this guy does fit in well. i don't think anyone has the emotion & passion Midnight did. Good luck guys. looking forward to new music and tour hopefully.
@Soldier7of7Christ omg, i didn't know midnight had passed away. Last I heard he was doing a solo album years ago. One of the most underated bands ever.
YES!!! the return of the greatest prog metal band ever! Todd has all the range and emotion of MIDNIGHT, (R.I.P.) yet subtle distinctions give him a voice all his own. An excellent singer for a superior Band... Looking forward to some new tunes.... thanks for posting this Jon!
Glad to see you found a new singer and I hope you guys will do a US tour and also that when you do record a new album you will get back to basics and that it will be simillar to the first 2 albums.Astronomica had some good songs but alot of it had more of a Dream Theater influence.You should see to it that the new album has the all out heaviness of the first 2 albums.
As I said to you before mr. Jon Drenning, Thank you for kicking our asses yesterday (Oct.23rd) in Athens. We can't wait to see you again with new material.
Indeed, I believe Midnight - in his own unique, mysterious, and transcendental way - helped to guide Todd into our lives and hearts at a time when needed the most. Todd will help to propel Midnight's legacy for many years to come, while also carving his own unique path in the annals of heavy metal. We look forward to sharing all our classic songs with you on tour next year, as well as our new material in the future. "23 143 4943434. 23 143 563 475743". ~ Jon Drenning
A mixture between Midnight and Wade. Mixed feelings, I was expecting Wade to unleash his awesomeness in the new CG album that is due to come out sometime in 2112.
the singer its perfect i m so happy that crimson glory are back!!!!! its the best heavy metal band and i hope your next albul will blow my mind and make me scream and headbang like your old albums hail brothers and my respect to the amazing Midnight rest in peace my friend!
I'm sure you all know how deep our thoughts are about Midnight and his vocals as well as your talents as a band. Saying that your new singer is really good. I guess as a fan Midnight, he can never be replaced as well as for you guys, but what a great talent to carry on the tradition. Record more music if and when you can.
I must admit I was expecting to probably be disappointed, but this is actually really cool. I love the way Todd is able to sing this and I'm very happy that Crimson Glory is going on.
Jon, Very well said. I too believe in the existence of that kind of guidance. I can't go for the 100% random happenings. It certainly sounds you are now armed with the vocalist you need to wow me again! Congratulations to the band. May your fortitude be generously rewarded. Jeff
A note to Todd La Torre: Dude, you kick Ass - don;t let any of the Naysayers bother you. Midnight was one of my favorite vocalists and one of the reasons I began vocal training with private instructors. You kill dude. From one Singing Drummer to another, you kill in such a big way it isn't funny.
The crescendo at 2:07 is very good, but Midnight's is just immaculate; the passage between chest to head voice is literally perfect from a technical standpoint. Then Todd actually sustains a more powerful note at the end compared to Midnight, but that's less impressive.
He's got big boots to fill but La Torre sounds great in these, brings his own style to it while still delivering those killer highs Midnight once did. This reminds me of better days for CG - here's hoping you guys can bring them back! If you play a show in SoCal I'm there, no questions asked :)
F*cking awesome, that goes for all the songs posted. Todd is fantastic. Can't wait to see you in The Netherlands. Hope you'll play more than 1 gig overhere. Saw you for the last time somewhere in the early nineties in Arnhem during the Aardschok festival. That has been way to long ago!!!!!!! But We never stopped listening. And still the music stands, after all these years. Keep it up. You deserve it!
Guys, what you did yesterday in Essen, Germany was beyond everything I've experienced so far! This was way better than the KEEP-IT-TRUE gig a week before, much more intense and some sort of "private"! I was in the first row, right next to the crazy spanish guys, screaming my lungs out! I'm so waiting for a new album in the vein of the first 2 ones! And Todd, I'm speachless about your performance and your vocal range, this was just A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.! Btw Jon, nice orutfit :-D
Whether Todd stays with QR or goes back to CG, I'd like to see him with either band UN the Worcestor Mass. Area @ The Palladium!!! Please, someone make this happen SOON!! P. S., got the new QR & its phenomanal!!!
Please release the new album! We wait for it a million years! Do something and release it! I really can't believe that you have (had) so many problems and can't release a new album (like thousand bands do every day) the past 14 years (Astronomica-'99) You do something wrong or you are just bored, where is the flame? I am really sorry but that's the truth, you have no other explanations anymore! We die for new songs! Greetings from Greece "In Dark Places we will be forever beyond the Light"
@jondrenning Those of us who have followed the cryptograph that has been CG for almost 30 years now, continually hope for added context and successes to come your way, and add new colours to our listening pallets. Through the passing of Midnight comes a new dawn, and hoping the light is a pathway and not another blinding state of disarray. HJC Venice, FL '80-'96
Jon, will the new material go hand in hand with the old? But up to date of course. Try to make it over to Sweden when you guys tour. Great choice in singer. We want a lot of haunting screams alá Mid on the new songs, you know that right?:) Stay metal and cheers!
so is this guy their official new snger? and theyve recorded this with him? if so they must be thinking about doing something in the future, a tour? new album? PLEASE GOD!
@andreasremoundos80 Clone? Are u deaf? He is a mix of Black & Midnight. He is the perfect fit for Crimson Glory. Midnight was the best metal vocalist ever! But u can´t awake the dead right. Crimson Glory ventures into the future with a singer who knows how the old material should be sung. Fans that never got the chance to see Midnight live (me included) will here get the next best thing. And I am sure that their new songs will sound like the old but up to date. Stay metal and screaaaaaaaaaam!
I actually have hope for Queensryche now thanks to Tate being out on his ass. Fuck that self-important washup, new blood was sorely needed and they got just that with Todd.
What is the purpose irrelvant comment about a comparison to a singer unrelated to the band in the video? Oh wait, he's the "squeaker" in that "Queensryche cover band" with 3 out of 4 members of Queensryche that you are so upset about. Anyway, this version of the song rules!

I' M SOLD!!!

He is amazing, search for rising west and then you will find some videos of him singing some queensryche songs.

Perfect. He sounds just like Midnight. Can't wait to hear him in Queensryche.

Todd is the greatest vocalist in the world to "replace" Mid....
no one can ever replace a vocalist especially one with the talent that Midnight had but this guy does fit in well. i don't think anyone has the emotion & passion Midnight did. Good luck guys. looking forward to new music and tour hopefully.
i dont get Goosebumps like with Midnight's Voice, but still the new singer has a great Voice and comes very close : )
I got goosebumps!!
Fuck! I didnt know Todd could do some of those impossible notes that Midnight was able to slay. Holy shit, man!!
He is good, very good! He has the voice & the looks. Excellent choice guys! I hope for a new era for the band. Its been so long
@Soldier7of7Christ omg, i didn't know midnight had passed away. Last I heard he was doing a solo album years ago. One of the most underated bands ever.

@jondrenning I just heard you guys for the first time ever (on the radio!) yesterday, you certainly have gained a new fan.

ESPERO UM DIA ASSISTIR A UM SHOW DO CRIMSON GLORY NO BRASIL
DE PREFERENCIA EM BRASILIA DF!
Jon, Very well said. I too believe in the existence of that kind of guidance. I can't go for the 100% random happenings.
It certainly sounds you are now armed with the vocalist you need to wow me again!
Congratulations to the band. May your fortitude be generously rewarded.

Waiting for you in Spain, Todd just hits the notes like Midnight did, all of my respect to him and you guys!
hellyeah!!!
A note to Todd La Torre: Dude, you kick Ass - don;t let any of the Naysayers bother you. Midnight was one of my favorite vocalists and one of the reasons I began vocal training with private instructors. You kill dude. From one Singing Drummer to another, you kill in such a big way it isn't funny.
Oh man that is SCARY. He sounds... amazing! This guy will lead CG to a bright new future without the pressure of record labels of that era.
The crescendo at 2:07 is very good, but Midnight's is just immaculate; the passage between chest to head voice is literally perfect from a technical standpoint. Then Todd actually sustains a more powerful note at the end compared to Midnight, but that's less impressive.
Hi! I've been a fan of you guys for a number of years. Greetings from Brazil!
He's got big boots to fill but La Torre sounds great in these, brings his own style to it while still delivering those killer highs Midnight once did. This reminds me of better days for CG - here's hoping you guys can bring them back! If you play a show in SoCal I'm there, no questions asked :)
Realy brilliant
@nLiOkWoEs Oh yeah!
F*cking awesome, that goes for all the songs posted. Todd is fantastic. Can't wait to see you in The Netherlands. Hope you'll play more than 1 gig overhere.

And Todd, I'm speachless about your performance and your vocal range, this was just A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.!
Btw Jon, nice orutfit :-D
OH YESSSSSSSSSSS! I want to meet You Todd!!! ;-)
HELL YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! GREEEEEECE NOOOOOWWW!!!! \m/
Whether Todd stays with QR or goes back to CG, I'd like to see him with either band UN the Worcestor Mass. Area @ The Palladium!!! Please, someone make this happen SOON!! P. S., got the new QR & its phenomanal!!!
Damm
Sounds increible! Sounds just like Midnight!!!
Please release the new album! We wait for it a million years! Do something and release it! I really can't believe that you have (had) so many problems and can't release a new album (like thousand bands do every day) the past 14 years (Astronomica-'99) You do something wrong or you are just bored, where is the flame?

very nice choice for singer
Todd is great but Midnight was the real legend

midnight was one of the best frontmen ever...todd is a very good singer,but this song has written for mightnight...no one like you rip
Damn, Now I know there is a GOD :D
Good god...i can't believe this is NOT Midnight.
Damn!
Jon, will the new material go hand in hand with the old? But up to date of course. Try to make it over to Sweden when you guys tour. Great choice in singer. We want a lot of haunting screams alá Mid on the new songs, you know that right?:)
Stay metal and cheers!
Btw Todd looks like Carlos Zema :D
They must be some kind of vocals brothers for sure :D
GAMATOS!
WOW!!!
MAYBE MIDNIGHT ISNT WITH US ANY MORE..... BUT...HES... TWO MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT!!!!
COME TO HELLAS-GREECE...NOW!
so is this guy their official new snger? and theyve recorded this with him? if so they must be thinking about doing something in the future, a tour? new album? PLEASE GOD!
Hole-lee Crapola! This newbie kicks Total ASS! He really fills Midnight's shoes.
Can you upload it in a better quality?
@andreasremoundos80
Clone? Are u deaf? He is a mix of Black & Midnight. He is the perfect fit for Crimson Glory. Midnight was the best metal vocalist ever! But u can´t awake the dead right.
Crimson Glory ventures into the future with a singer who knows how the old material should be sung. Fans that never got the chance to see Midnight live (me included) will here get the next best thing. And I am sure that their new songs will sound like the old but up to date.
Stay metal and screaaaaaaaaaam!
Oh,,no,,I was wrong,,This is not Midnight,,but,,sometimes,,I confuse myself,,,
Kinda reminds me of Rob Halford
Ok... so Todd is going to Queensryche.... I'm sad now... does that mean the end of CG? :(
I actually have hope for Queensryche now thanks to Tate being out on his ass. Fuck that self-important washup, new blood was sorely needed and they got just that with Todd.
What is the purpose irrelvant comment about a comparison to a singer unrelated to the band in the video? Oh wait, he's the "squeaker" in that "Queensryche cover band" with 3 out of 4 members of Queensryche that you are so upset about.
Anyway, this version of the song rules!
He's the guy who just replaced Geoff Tate, that's who.
Good song, Great band, but there is too much effects in the mix, makes it like you are hearing them through a beer can or underwater
Who is this parody on Geoff Tate?
