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, and was officially released for download later that year.
