1967/ 1976
I had always heard of Crimson Glory as one of those bands that every metalhead should know. But, in my opinion, nothing so memorable I was missing. We come to understand, Crimson Glory is a fantastic band, able to debut with a dance album and concrete, well produced and also technical. An essential album for the birth of Prog Metal. However sounds very (too?) 80's, for I perceive a band brake, which does not want to push up the play difficult. Unfortunately they were like that, the 80's: the hangover after the technical end in itself of the 70's there was a need to return to play simple.

Revised today, "Crimson Glory" sounds like an ordinary yet beautiful album. Lovers of Classic Metal should listen to billions of times in order to understand how they played in the 80's. I personally believe that in addition to the historical remains very little "Crimson Glory" which, it should be noted with sincerity, this album was still pretty cool. If "Crimson Glory" is a 2012 album we classify "Crimson Glory" as "Power Metal" but it is clear that we should just look at the evolution of both Prog Metal and Power Metal have had over the years.

The songs are very melodic, moderately technical and very powerful. Savatage and Queensryche are good examples of similar bands and is the kind of bands that should be placed Crimson Glory. A typical innovator band who made ​​his mark in his own way.
