Man i love this style of music. CRIMSON GLORY were one of the early American Prog-Metal bands along with DREAM THEATER, FATES WARNING and QUEENSRYCHE to wreak musical havok. This is their second album and by far their best from 1988. The vocals are done by this guy known only as Midnight and they are fantastic ! He reminds me of Rob Halford when he screams the lyrics. A very cool looking album cover too which fits the album's title really well. And yes this brings back the eighties to my mind everytime i listen to it. "Burning Bridges" is probably my favourite track. The intricate guitar and almost spacey background contrasts well with the more uptempo sections with the grinding guitar. The title track is different as we get some atmosphere that is almost haunting and synths. "Eternal World" kicks ass throughout. Easily 4 stars for this legendary album.
